There hasn’t been much new news regarding how Paul Labombard, (That is Pritam Singh’s real name. I don’t have much use for people who go and join some mystic eastern religious cult and then change their given name to some bullshit phrase that means peace and love. He is still a selfish, conniving, greedy developer [...]
In fact, they continue on for quite a ways. Across an area known as the Lakes, to the Marquesas, and then another 50 miles to the Dry Tortugas. Yesterday, with Off The Beaten Path Key West, we took a charter out to one little island known as Boca Grande. It sits in a marine preserve [...]
Well, a year has passed since the big project has begun. Funny, only seems like 4 or 5 years doesn’t it? So, with all the digging, and drilling, and fencing and detouring, where does the project stand so far? You may find this shocking, shocking I tell you, but the North Roosevelt Renovation Project is….. [...]
I stopped by that marina again yesterday to see if indeed they had any open slips available come July. No. But I will keep checking back. Sent an email off to the city marina to see what they might have. No answer. Not surprised there. I will probably have to go and beg on bended [...]
Yesterday I got a call from some folks to go help move a couple of sailboats here in the marina. None of this was related to the pending sale, their leases were up and the slips they were using were to be utilized for some charters that the slip owner does every year for boy [...]

It’s been a while since I talked about everyone’s favorite road construction project here in Key West. Mainly because since the blocking off of the original bike path and creation of the temporary path there hasn’t been much to update. One minor good thing, they did refasten the tarp that hangs on the fence along [...]
A wholly owned subsidiary of Nestle®. That damn island will be in the way now until Sept. sometime. The only way to see the sun hit the water is to go down to Ft. Zachary Taylor State Park or go out on one of the sunset cruises. Still turned out pretty nice though. Capt. [...]
It was a busy weekend and I got a few good photos here and there. The first three are of the masts and riggings of the Western Union and Appledore tall ships. (This is the view behind Bobbyb’s booth. How’s the view from that cubicle?): Had a back country charter with Kayak Kings on Saturday [...]
While perusing the interwebs this morning I came across this study about the frequency of bike thefts in South Florida. It’s a pretty interesting read. Over 20,500 bikes got ripped off in Florida in 2011, and a few get stolen every day in the Miami to West Palm super city. No details on how many are [...]
