The Great Loop

Boats of Key West gallery

 

3/16/05- I know many of you have visited Key West. Here are some photos to help you re-experience your visits. I find it a little distressing that Key West seems to be morphing into Marco Island, or anyone of the other condo havens along the Florida Coast... they should have left Flagler's Railroad and banned the highway. This gallery was too large, so I split it.

you live. Housing for staff is at a premium in KW.

Haven't had a chance to talk to the pirate to learn what it was.

So shoot me

Private yacht, once a navy vessel... targetting oneself?
