Fishin'
Me having a blast while fighting the big one. First mate Barry Jr in the background worked his butt off to get us fish on a tough day due to the wind - along with Captain James - 6th generation Key Wester - really knows the water.
I would highly recommend the "Eva Marie" - 43' Sport fisher runs out of the main dock downtown. Barry's Dad (Sr.) owns the boat and they are fantastic guys...if your in the area go to Key West Bait and Tackle which they also own and line up a trip for up to 6 people. When I get a chance to return - I'm going out for a full day - we only fished 1/2 day this time but still caught fish. Sailfish and Marlin on the next one!

Closing Shot
Don't want to overdo it so one final shot of a beautiful place and trip. Still giddy from the experience and thankful for my wonderful wife of many years that is always willing to ride along in my dreams. Meeting up with my brother who I don't get to see enough as we live so far apart, and Cathy his wonderful companion only made it better.
If I remained so blessed with my health, we plan on more of these excursions over the coming years - out west, Canada, Blue Ridge, and wherever we find interesting. Both of my boys ride, although neither is 25 yet - minimum age to rent. When they can, or if they own, I hope to make it a family ride...it couldn't get any better!
Later friends.. until we meet, ride safe.

Thanks to all that showed interest. We returned Friday night from a memorable 1200mi trip.
Day 6: 11/19 Wednesday departure - Rt 1 off the Keys (what else?) and took Rt 42 W to Naples. Saw a bunch of gators along the road on the banks of the stream. Naples is fantastic - thru Ft Meyers and up to Punta Gorda for the night. Longest day on the road. Ciao
