Today just a few pictures from an evening ramble on the edges of the Key West Bight. I'd be embarrassed to put up a poorly spelled sign, but my sensibilities are hardly universal as I have pointed out previously and the owner of this charter boat doesn't care at all that the sign is misspelled:
Ah yes, the bearer of exotic vacations be they ever so short, on some deserted island. This was the ferry we took to the Dry Tortugas for Thanksgiving, an experience that lives on with pleasure in my memory.
A quick glance at this yacht gives the impression the people are rather eccentrically taking their ease in the dinghy on the sun deck. I also was forced to wonder if any of them had ever actually been to St Vincent and the Grenadines, under whose flag of convenience they registered their boat. A tax ploy of course...
Hoi polloi docked under the boring old flag of inconvenience for tax payers of more modest means.
Not Gone Fishing, but lots to talk about anyway. Everyone should go shirtless in December.
If I were a pigeon I'd find a more comfortable perch but judging by the amount of guano this looks like a popular avian roost, angled as it is, under the eaves of the Turtle Museum (make a mental note to go check it out).
She later got in a dinghy and went out to some boat anchored somewhere.
A charter captain has to work the phone to make sure tomorrow isn't a bust.

And so after this brief panorama back to my landlocked home.

Mr Conchscooter:
You don't have a landlocked home, it is accessible by land with a water escape.
Shirtless in December would feel really good somewhere warm, but not here in the frigid air.
What's the matter, are you not feeling well, not one mention of 85F degree temps and having to turn the Air Conditioning higher, or how cold it is at 70F and having to find your fleece and long johns

I left work this morning at 2am (more overtime) and it was 65 degrees (17C). I had my winter gear on, full face helmet (closed)elkskin roper heavy leather gloves, liner in my mesh jacket and my kevlarlined pants felt barely adequate. Today it may get up to 75 degrees (25C?) if we are lucky. Happy now?
Dear Sir:
We are wearing mesh at 65ยบ. Yet it would appear that is all in the future now... Like in April 2010.
