I saw this boat washed up on Christmas Tree Island (formally known as Wisteria Island for a boat that sank there). They seem to have set up camp alongside it which seems sensible. I wonder when there will be a tide high enough to float that full keel?
I was astonished when I checked the viewfinder of my camera after I took this telephoto shot from Simonton Beach. There are some big boats under those tall masts behind the island. What a mess.
On patrol:
Sunset Key got its share. I wonder if they sent the game keeper down to move along hoi polloi on the beach:
More patrolling:
Smathers Beach:
Cow Key Channel. Stock Island is out of sight to the left in this picture:
They are either crazy or inspired. I prefer to think inspired. I hope they make it.
Cow Key Channel survivors:I saw people trying to get this boat back in order Monday afternoon:
I wish them luck. Glad I'm not on the water.

Sadly, it takes a storm like this to wipe out some of the riff raff. Ive done lots of cruising thru the Carib and south pacific and anchored out all the time. These guys in Key West are one step up from living under a bridge. Problem is they spoil it for folks that have an actual seagoing vessel and would like to stop. This will just encourage the city to enact more anchoring rulea and mooring fields.
A good year to not be living on the water, that is for sure. Can you imagine the total cost of insurance claims for those folks that had boat insurance that is.
Adam I agree. That was one reason we moved off the boat. Trobaritz I think so
Thanks for all the pictures and posts, especially these past two weeks post Irma. How did the Stadium Mobile Home Park fare?
