hanged our mind and came back. If the wind picked up, it would be a nasty ride home. Plan B, bike ride in to town. On our ride in, we noticed this nurse shark that had come in to the shallows trying to stay warm. You can see a dead fish in the top left part of the photo. There were hundreds of dead fish in this area.We biked to a place called Blue Heaven. Our plan was to sit outside but it was too windy and chilly. There were a couple of people outside eating and the local chickens come over to your table and beg. I tried to get a photo before we moved inside but the chickens knew we didn’t have food yet so weren’t interested in us. There are chickens everywhere here! Key West has a leash law they must strictly enforce or I don’t’ think there’d be so many.
We ended the day at the Schooner Warf Bar. It’s right along the docks and was full of people enjoying drinks, cigars and live music.
The photo is a little fuzzy because I had to take it
from a ways a way.They served the dog his own little beer and he drank it. At one point we noticed a large bulldog type dog come up to the bar. He stuck his head up as far as he could and that’s how I noticed him. Just his face appeared over the edge. The bartender brought over a glass of water and had someone set it on the floor for him. The dog drank it and took off. Guess he must be a regular there? The weird and wacky of Key West.
We are up on Cocoa Beach and have seen lot's of dead crabs & star fish washing ashore. On the Banana River, there's dead fish in the canals and on the beaches. It's so sad to see this happening because of the worst cold snap in ages! Heard on the news that the iguana's can't handle under 40 degrees and were falling out of all the trees in southern FL! Their bodies go dormant, once they get warmed up, they are ok again.
ReplyDeleteI feel bad for you to finally be as far south as you can be in the US in the winter and are still cold! We left our boat (at Midway Marina) for 3 weeks because of the cold; the Tenn-Tom froze out 30 feet! What a winter to go south! On the other hand, we are thankful everyday that we aren't living aboard in RW this month!
The worst cold is over and your adventure sounds wonderful so far!
