  5. Hey are you visiting the Conch Republic (aka the Florida Keys and Key West)?

    The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is asking the public’s help to gather valuable information about horseshoe crabs by reporting sightings on an online survey.

    Report sightings by visiting MyFWC.com/research, click on “Crustaceans,” then “Horseshoe Crabs” and selecting “Report Your Nesting Horseshoe Crab Sighting” to complete the survey.

  7. Cause I got a school boy heart
    A novelist eye
    Stout sailor's legs
    And a license to fly
    I got a bartender ear
    And a beachcomber style
    Piratical nerve
    And a vaudevillian style

  8. My favorite times is just before dawn on the boat. It's quiet, just sounds of family sleeping and a snoring dog.

    I creep into the galley, make some coffee... just a hint of sugar and the perfect splash of milk.

    Then I head to the flybridge and sit waiting for the sunrise, sipping coffee, listening to a pod of dolphins somewhere in the bay surface for a breath. It's still, the water is glass.

    For a fleeting moment it's just me and the dawn.

    Excuse me 👋 .... Point of information here

    On April 23, 1982 Key West's Mayor Wardlow read a Declaration of Secession from the USA , and christened the Florida Keys the Conch Republic. He declared war on the United States and attacked an American Naval Officer with a piece of stale Cuban bread.

    Moments later he surrendered and applied for billions in foreign aid.

  12. My garden is filled with papayas and mangos
    My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos
    Taste for the good life
    I can't live it no other way
    While out on the beach there are two empty chairs
    That say more than the people who ever sit there
    From under my lone palm
    I can look out on the day

  14. We were born before the wind
    Also, younger than the sun
    'Ere the bonnie boat was won
    As we sailed into the mystic....
