Some nice Wahoos Today

30 lb. Wahoo

We found this young Broadwing Hawk 8 miles offshore in the water. Not where he's supposed to be, as these birds don't swim. We weren't sure if he was injured or just exhausted, but it didn't look like he was going to be able to fly off, so we scooped him up in the bait net and turned him over to Wild Life Rescue at the dock.

No Fishing today thanks to
Hurricane Wilma

After waiting for 3 days for it's arrival Hurricane Wilma blasted Key West early Monday Morning.
A Storm that was predicted to decrease to a Category 1 storm before hitting Key West actually increased to a Category 3 storm instead. Stronger winds than I've ever seen in my 24+ years in Key West did some damage, but the real culprit was the storm surge that occurred on the back side of the storm. It caught most of the islanders off guard, myself included. I was fortunate, No damage to my house, my truck or the Southbound, but a great many people had their houses flooded and their vehicles destroyed by water
below are a few pictures I took .


Once it was daylight and the winds subsided to about 45 mph, my first thought was to check the Southbound to see if it was OK.
the roads were impassable by car, so starting at Bay View Park on Truman Ave, I waded about 1/4 mile to the marina. In this picture, I'm on my way back from the boat. I'm in the water furthest from the camera. The deepest water was up to my chest and the water  in the parking lot at the boat was about 3 ft.


Most of the businesses along North Roosevelt Blvd had flooding damage. The top picture is Key Plaza ( Where K-mart is located) and the bottom picture is Sears Town shopping plaza. Both of these pictures were taken AFTER all the water I was wading through in the first picture had receded.


Don't know where this chair came from but I just thought it was ironic that Wilma could destroy docks and piers, rip up metal roofs and knock down large trees and still gently place this chair in the middle of Margaret St, down by the Turtle Kraals

     


Lots of Trees came down, winds of 120 mph will tend to do that.
The top picture is over on Atlantic Blvd and the bottom one is on Duval St.


Not a good parking spot
