I spent a fall on Marathon key... twas amazing. Things I recall..


1) all you can eat shrimp(the pink ones).. trust, they did NOT make money on me.

2) rock shrimp served at this bar deck on the water...god they were good!!

3)snorkeling and finding these three rock lobster under this dock. The owner asked that I leave them, cause the people loved looking at them., Then some fool a day later caught all three and ate them. I was very angry indeed.

4)watching the world series on my underwear drunker than 10,000 Indians.. simple pleasures.

5) befriending the captain of a charter boat(I am an Alaska fisherman, so we were basically brothers).. we mostly caught yellow snapper..so fun!! BUT he decided an Alaska fisherman needed a bigger bang, so he took us to a reef where we caught these huge Amberjack(not good eating). Instead oif saying thank you, I said something stupid like.."can we go back and catch the yellow snapper, I enjoyed that more".. I am not very politically correct.

6) my daughter getting a lung infection, and in the Xray room she meets the first black person of her life, who grabs her, straps her to a board very uncomfortably, and also hangs her upside down for more shots... out of all my family, she ended up the MOST sympathetic to blacks.. how does that work?

7) flyfishing for, and finally catching my first bonefish


all I can say is if you get a chance to go on a warm vacation with Kingcrab..DO IT.. the guy knows how to have a good time!!
