Key West - Your and Mayan Fair Trade Shop

It’s the most colorful store I’ve ever been in

One of the favorite places we like to browse through is Yours and Mayan. It’s a shop with imports from South America. They are all handmade and very brightly colored, each totally unique. They have handbags, clothing - all sorts of things. 

A mask?

The shop is near the water and has been there for at least 10 years since we’ve been coming down. We passed it today when Ann went to the art studio to see the latest paintings by her favorite artist in Key West at the Greene Street Gallery, Peter Vey. He only paints with a pallet knife but his paintings are extraordinary. Take a look at http://galleryongreene.com/peter-vey

Fun to look at in a shop, don’t know how well it would wear in a house

I’m writing an article on anchoring in Key West based on the experience of the Dockmaster in Key West Bight Marina. He sees all the troubles with people that don’t anchor right for the conditions in the area. The holding is very variable with some areas very good and some on the other side of the spectrum. Knowing which is which is the key to a good night’s sleep. 

Today was mostly boat work, replacing all the lines on the fenders. It’s the first time they’ve been replaced in over 20 years. Everything wears out eventually, I guess - hopefully not us for a while yet.

Did the dock master have any insights/comments about the pending legislation about 're-anchoring' every 90 days and the very small number of additional mooring balls planed for the lower keys?

I’m writing an article that includes what’s coming on anchoring restrictions and moorings in Key West - and more. It will be published next week. Bob423
