Is the turtle program still down on the island south of MARATHON? If so that is where they used to film the show FLIPPER at back in the day.

we went to the dolphin place today(dolphins.org), its a little north of us. Thats where they filmed flipper. The turtle place used to be a motel that had a big interactive aquarium, that's where the turtle pens are now, and why those nice fish were in there, I swear, there were the biggest mullet I've ever seen swimming in that pen. The dolphin place was ok, but it was expensive, and they were up selling your "experience" if you wanted to swim with the dolphin, it was $200 per person, the dolphin experience was like $300, and the researcher for the day was like $695. For the place to be a "not for profit" research center, they sure didn't have any issues charging you. We did the basic $20 per person deal, I was a bit disappointing considering the cost. We rode back up to Salt Water Sportsman(bass pro), ate a snack at the Zane Grey restaurant(over rated bar), I did look at some cool boats at the dock(pics for later). The wind kicked up bad today, a cold front came thru and the high was only 70, wind was blowing at least 20 knts. I tried fishing int he canal again, the cold front shut everything down, couldn't get anything to bite cut shrimp

Back in 84' my wife and i went to Sea World down near Disney World. They had a huge pool about 3' deep that you could wade in... it had several Bottlenosed Dolphin in it that you could feed and pet. Only thing it cost was the price of the fish if you wanted to feed them. Wonder if it's still there?

went back to key west today, figure we missed a tourist trap or two, ate at Jimmy Buffets margaritaville (did I mention tourist trap), the freaks were out early today, tucked, taped, and flaunting their stuff. Got out of their in a hurry, rode up to Bud and Mary's Marina, that place was awesome, cool boats every where. I could walk around and look at all the old fishing pics for hours> I've seen a few V's, a couple sportsmans, but I've seen probably 90 % of teh total production of Mako 23's in existence, same goes with Dusky 23's, they are every where.
