Goodbye Key West


We left Key West in the afternoon via the beaches and the fishing piers where we saw lots of navy ships, cruise boats, pelicans before passing by the US Route 1 sign with the zero marker. Fortunately for a second time we succeeded in spotting that very rare species, a genuine conch. Captain Jimmy Bailey, born and bred in Key West, has been fishing the Florida Keys for over 37 years and is an expert. He charges a whopping $600 but his customer told us that Captain Jimmy knows where the fish are. We photographed him at Hooked Up Charter Fishing station while he was cutting up his customer's catch. Yea, his price includes all the messy work plus he provides bait. He'll take 6 people. I want to go fishing next time I come to Florida! Bruce and I make 2 people. Any candidates for the 4 more I need? I will bring the grill and the fish rub.
