There has been a lot of moving lately and not much reliable wifi, especially during our trip to the Dry Tortugas where there was nothing for five days. So, there will be a blitz of posts once we get more consistent connectivity.
I thought I’d post this as a little teaser of our lower Keys adventures….can anyone name this Bond movie ? Hint: filmed partially on location in Key West.


Sadly, the Bimini Barrelhead is no more and is now the Thai Island Restaurant. It’s a good place to eat, but hasn’t been in a Bond Movie. Who knows how long the sign will last now that the business has changed themes.

Hey Brett, just read all blog posts! I love your salt life! Keep it coming!
I have to tell you my uncle was a naval captain who ended his carrier on a supply vessel USS Sylvania, but was commander of a squadron that flew off the USS Kitty Hawk back in the Vietnam era. Crazy, huh!
That’s cool….I love pulling the Captain Ron line about the Saratoga….Captain Ron: “Don’t worry. They’ll get out of the way. I learned that driving the Saratoga.” But obviously I use “Kitty Hawk” haha
