In a nutshell...
Got lost on a island
(never pay attention to the conceirge)
Broke up a bar fight!
Met a 1 star National Guard General.
Met the owner of "Last Flight Out" What a great guy!
Met the owner of Rick's and Dirty Harrys (Great guy, big USCG supporter)
Toured an old WWII USCG/NAVY ship (The Mowhawk) and met an old USCG Vietnam vet (and city councilman from KW)
Was honored to be present when the Wouded Warriors Foundation "Soldier Ride" project came into town. A decent crowd showed up to pay thier respects
Checked on a guy in an alley ('cause the wife thought he was dead
-hey! Ain't that the local cops job?)
Visited Louie's Back Yard (of Jimmy Buffett fame)
Of course did the obligatory Captain Tony's, Margaritaville, and some others.
And overall, had a great time.
I'll get some pics up later.
The boat ride over and back was pretty uneventful. A little rough (relative to what you're used to-I didn't mind it at all. Felt right at home) at the sea bouy going down but smooth as glass coming back
Next time...I'm flying though....from Clearwater to Key West at 1500' over the coast
