September Fishing

Bill had a great day fishing on the Lobster Boat out of Coco Plum today catching lots of yellowtail and one 4 foot barracuda. Why would you keep a 4 foot barracuda and why would you catch it in the first place? He says, "the challenge", it was caught with a small jig and 12 pound test, no wire. He had a yellowtail on first, and then the barracuda came up and ate the yellowtail and got hooked. When they got back to the dock, this Cuban guy named Fish who was just waiting around to see what was caught went crazy for it. That's Fish, holding up the fish! He took it home in the front basket of his bike to be enjoyed that evening by his family and friends. Just another day of fishing in the Florida Keys.

Looks fine, but we are headed North. It's not much fun sitting inside with the shutters up, and if the power goes out and we had no electronic devices we would really be miserable.

New paint for City Hall

I love the new color of the post office and City Hall. I worked the polls during the primary election. KCB had 126 votes cast out of 800 registered voters. There were about an equal number of absentee ballots cast.

The beach is a lonely spot this morning.

Everything is cleared off, just in case we have a visit from Isaac. Notice the nice new umbrella at Sunset Beach? I'm sure they will remember to take it down.

Stunning Photo

This photo was taken by Pat and Dennis's son-in-law, John while he was here with his family over Easter. I think it is an unusual night photo of The Cay, and it captures the warmth of our little community. Thanks, John, I hope you don't mind that I shared your great work.

The Walking Wounded...

They've flown the coop and we miss them. One is on the Disney Cruise celebrating a big birthday and the other is headed for New Jersey via Sarasota. They'll be back for more fun together next year.

This event must be for any families that will not be in church on Easter Sunday.

There was excitement yesterday evening at Sparky's when a 683 pound swordfish was brought in. They had to use a tow truck to get it off of the boat and positioned for the weigh in. This is the second huge swordfish that was caught during daylight in the last two weeks. It did not set an official record, however, because it was brought in with an electric reel.
