Hoy Mates, just got back from a beautiful charter to the caribbean. Actuall this is about the 30th or 40 something I have taken and again the islands are beautiul as always. This time I was down by the Virgin Islands and kind of got myself a little rummed up a few nights, but hey who's counting. I went through VirginIslandsSailingVacations where the name just made me have to go. They were pretty darn sharp setting up my yacht and all, even had some rum on board. What a group of people. I didn't take much in the way of clothes [View Full Entry]

6:16 PM Now in my room as I write this. Turned on ESPN to catch up on sports news. Deciding where to go for dinner tonight. Key West is quiet this time of year. The cruise ship passengers were roaming around today, but when the ships leave it will feel more like a 'residents-and-friends only' weekend. No spring breakers on mopeds. No hoards flowing through the streets. No painted nudity...actually, I wouldn't mind some of that. And very little humidity. As many times as I've been here during the really hot months, it's a refreshing change. If I take any pics [View Full Entry]

We are having an extended stay in Key West and the weather has been great - upper 70's and lower 80's. We started out at the Key West Bight City Marina. It turned out that most of the race boats entered in the Key West World Championship Races were also staying at this marina. What a colorful group! They are the Nascar of the boating world. The boats are brightly painted, fast, and loud. They also come with flashy girls - literally. The boat across the dock from us was from Texas. The two girls on board wore cowboy hats, bikinis [View Full Entry]

After a terrible nights sleep in the backseat of the van, which was so incredibly stinking hot, we woke ready for an awesome day out on the sea. We got into our bathers and headed down to the boat docks in Key West. Today we had a full day of water sports including jet skis, snorkeling, swimming, sailing, kayaking etc. We were joined with the other trek group at the pier and waited around for our boat. Suddenly a coconut fell from tree and hit the ground, it was lucky that no one was underneath it. As we continued to wait [View Full Entry]

We got up and our room was a disgusting mess. We didn’t have much recollection of what happened last night. We packed up our stuff and loaded the van when Jon arrived. He then mentioned how he woke up, naked on the bathroom floor somehow, we thought it was hilarious, he was in bed when we left him last night. With our new mascot Candy in the front seat we made our way to Key West. To get to Key West we needed to cross a series of bridges which connected each island until you get to the furthest most town [View Full Entry]

In May of 2007 i took a 3 week trip traveling from my North Carolina home to the Florida Keys and Keywest . This was the most beautiful drive along the coast ! The water is as blue as any i have ever seen. The marsh and sand bars that can be seen along the drive is outstanding ! This is a paradise for all types of water sports and seems to be in a world all it's own ! The sands are white and the sun bathing plenty ! May i highly suggest if doing any water activties that you [View Full Entry]

So I had a great day in Key West yday. I'm beginning to see why people like it so much. Its like Vegas in a Caribbean setting without the casinos. Its like San Francisco without the fog and lots more palm trees. Its like Memphis without...actually its not a bit like Memphis :) Life in Key West is a little surreal...and thats why I like it. If I'd written this blog at midnight yday night I'd have said, after two days in KW, the closest embrace I've had to a living being is with a female python - double ugh - [View Full Entry]
