well, for no one to blame other than myself( I didn't finish it), I'm leaving the McKee here in SC next week, just had too much going on lately and was laid up all last week with the flu. we still plan to enjoy ourselves while we are there, and I'm still taking tackle. Randleman, give me a shout while you're down there (843) 532-9148

well we made in late last night(1:00 am), 755 miles from Goose Creek to Marathon. Did a quick walk aorund this morning, we're staying on a canal.Plenty of boats around. The home owners have a nice selection of kayaks in hte back yard, but unfurtunately, they are all locked up. Looks like I'm bank fishing for the week. I'll post up pics later.

Boats are readily available down there to rent, and I'm sure this time of year they would be willing to make a deal on a rental. Marathon area has al lkinds of fishing, and you can always go a little furthur down to Bahia Honda on the other side of the 7 mile bridge and walk out on the bridges and stuff.

got you pm, I'll let you know. Its been reall windy down herre at times. we wentriding around yesterday, saw a bunch of big boats having problems in hte wind and waves. Makes me rethink the McKee may have not been such a good choice. The neighbors went out on thier 30 Whaler, came back in shortly. Kendall and I did some pin fishing off the dock, we had a blast. Got to be the biggest pin fish I've ever seen. Headed to Key West to see the sites today.

Hope you have a great time. Misery when weather doesn't cooperate. We have spent weeks at a time on the gulf side when the weather gets up. Still plenty of places for a small boat to beat around in the backwater.
In Key Wesy hit Clinton Square for the kids. It is about as commercial as it gets. Have fun.. and one of these.

While your down there, go through BIG PINE KEY after dark, and head north through town off of US1. At night time the KEY DEER are all over the north side of the island. There neet to look at to see such a tiny deer(not much bigger than a medium sized dog) with such a big rack on it. you wonder how they can hold there head up. And if you head out that way during teh day, you can hit the blue hole and see the alligators.

went to Key West yesterday, I rank it right down there at the bottom with New Orleans, looks like it would be a cool place to go if I was single and about 20 years younger, but with a family in tow, not the place to be. Tried fishing off the dock today, can't even get the pin fish to bite. Weather is beautiful, light wind, low 90's and i can't get my family off the couch and away from the TV, next time I'm coming down here, it will be without them, too many places to see and too much great weather to waste sitting on your *** in front of a TV.
