You know, I think all of us have a Bucket List; climb Mount Kilimanjaro, Run with the Bulls in Pamplona, buy a house in the Florida Keys!!  Well, one of the items on your Conchquistador's Wife’s Bucket List has been to get a tattoo! 
So, after a milestone birthday, and considering doing this for almost 15 years, she decided she wanted to get a tattoo in Key West. When I informed her, that until very recent years, tattoo salons had been prohibited in Key West, we realized that we wanted a much more established salon. So, I asked quite a few of my esteemed, … (1 comments)

key largo: You've Bought A Fantastic FL Keys Home. Now, Where Do You Go To Fish?? - 03/11/19 11:37 AM
You know, one of the big questions I get asked by my buyer clients is, "Where do we go fish??" 
What You’ve gotta understand is,that’s like asking, "Hey where is the Oasis in the Sahara??"
It’s a big ocean out there boys and girls, and this question is kind of an ambiguous one as well.  A lot of factors go in to determining what’s a great fishing spot. Your style of fishing can also be determined by Where you are in the Keys.I find Upper Keys fishing quite different from Lower Keys fishing especially when you talk about going on the Gulf side … (1 comments)

key largo: It's October 15th ...Let's Get Stoned!!! Stone Crab Season Opens Today! - 10/15/14 04:55 AM
October 15th...one of my favorite days of the year.  Why? you ask?....Well it's time to get stoned....   No, no, no, put down your smokeless hitters and step away from the bong and turn down the Jack Johnson songs ....we're not talking 420, but Stone Crabs!!
 
October is my favorite time of year here in the Keys.  The obsessive heat has dulled its edge, and the Northern breezes start to glide in, making it, to me, one of the greatest places to be, especially when you are out on the water.

key largo: Florida Keys Profanity-Yep...It's That Time of Year! - 06/02/14 03:07 AM
Forget George Carlin's 7 dirty words. Forget the F, S, C, P, D, and just about any other A thru Z words....When it comes to June 1st in the Florida Keys, one word is MOST Profane!!!! Wash your mouth out with bad Zest Profane..and that is The H-Word....Hurricane.
 
All joking aside, Hurricanes have had an indelible effect on the Florida Keys. One visit to the lovely, yet somber Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada, quickly paints the image of the power and destructive capability these massive weather phenomena posses.
 
Who can deny the impact the 1935 Storm had. It virtually and … (1 comments)

key largo: Take a Boat Ride with me Up North Sound Creek in Key Largo. My Favorite Keys Waterway. Quick Video - 01/22/14 08:22 AM
What can I say, I LOVE the Keys.  Like a junkie coming down on a Sunday Morning ( wait , isn't that a Cash song?), when I am away, I can't wait to get in my boat, the Conch-Keys-Tador and head for a ride through North Sound Creek, my favorite Keys Waterway
A great stretch to run the boat at full throttle, flying past Mangroves and Herons, Eagles and Ospreys.  The wind in what little hair I have left and a Tonic for the Soul.  Conversely, sometimes its nice to just kick back and cruise slowly through this masterpiece of nature.
