FLIGHT:
Awesome, no other words to describe the site when you see miles of crystal clear water, see to the bottom green and blue water, so spectacular in the sea of seas, there are speckles of land, of sandy beaches, no buildings, dotting the landscape, i could only pray that the pilot knew which plot of land on which to land,
but he successfully found it, though a 'small landing strip' we arrived on what i now call 'croc island'
Everyone is wearing Crocs!
BILLY BLUE EYES:
hanging out at the marina, quickly met a cool cat named billy blue eyes, a retired old pirate in a sailboat bound for wherever the wind takes him, had a very cute old dog who smiled like an angel
MANATEE ALERT:
sitting talking with BBE (billy blue eyes) and all of a sudden this giant grey matter comes wallowing up from the bottom of the marina, it was a giant manatee,so freakin cute, we put the hose out with fresh water, and he rolled on his back and put the hose in his mouth, just gulping down that fresh H2O for like 15 minutes, I reached down to pat his little fuzzy nose, with the little whiskers, and he exhaled,
nothing cute about a manatee breath-OY
nasty for a vegetable eating mammal-smelled like he just ate a trashcan! I guess he has never been to Pepe's!
SHIRTS:
weather looks perfect for day one, maybe a little sporty for day two,
wear your team shirts if you have'em,
if not and you want one, let me know, kinda too hot here to wear those long sleeves, freakin 83 degrees in the shade, sorry you snowbunnies!
PEPE'S:
sat at Pepe's for b fast, and had a sleuw of locals come in, ratty shorts covered in paint, long grey hair, and beards, ended up being people who have been here forever and are artists and own local galleries-heard the most authentic 70's key west history stories-awesome stuff man-hemingway has nothing on these guys for storytelling!
TIGHT LINES TOMORROW

kick arse. definitely go to key largo- but as you know now, it's about a 2.5-3hr trip with even good traffic. when you pass through big pine key, watch for the signs that point left (as you're heading east/north) for the key deer wildlife refuge- at the end of that road near the 'no name key' bridge (and infamous hole-in-da-wall-bar) is where i grew up!
my good bud phillip (another vasnman) just saw willie the other night in Orlando, i think- said he was awesome!
good luck on the fishin trips and float those newspapers if you can't find any seaweed!!
L8,
