Hi, neighbor.

Wish I could help you out, but I don't really know anyone going off shore right now. Otherwise, it's just the intercoastal.

I hope you realize that we have maybe a month or two left before we enter storm season--which means expect horrendous thunderstorms every single afternoon, so you have to get out there early. Lately though, it's only been one summer out of two with really bad rains.

But you gotta get your arse down to the Keys when you're ready to make a long trip!

Thanks.

Take a ride around the waters in a Water Taxi. I've always enjoyed them. Good Luck!

Hey--did you get hit with the rain and hail TODAY? We got hammered in Coral Springs.

Also, the best tour boat bargain in town...that cruises millionaire yachts row and has a BAR on the ship...is the Carrie B. It's docked along the New River, right off Austin street, near Andrews.

If you pick up those free newspapers, they usually have a buy one ticket/get one ticket free coupon in there. Much nicer than the Jungle Queen, and a good way to entertain out-of-town guests.
