Key West - Crowded on the weekend, such great weather!

 

I lost my anchor chain in the incident at Caesar’s Creek - here I just bought 90 ft as a replacement 
from West Marine, they were the only store that had it in stock. They also lent me their 
cart to transport the 100 lb load to Fleetwing.

I can understand why there are crowds on the weekends here. Such good weather and people are celebrating the lifting of all the cautions. They still advise wearing masks inside enclosed areas but obviously not when eating or drinking - and what else is that to do in Key West? We focus on the areas with outdoor seating such as Schooner Wharf and BO Fishwagon, they never had anything but outdoor seating! Neither one had a roof or sides. Schooner Wharf is just a gravel floor with rosters wandering through and sometimes hens with their chicks. 

We see these “floating Tiki Bars” all over the east coast. They are powered by an outboard and scoot around the harbor - with drinks in hand

All the bars have music and that’s part of the attraction. Where else can you sit for the cost of a bottle of beer and listen to pretty good music? I walked by BO Fishwagon tonight and it was half empty and yet the new place (Only Wood) across the street had a line outside waiting for a table. Here’s is a Key West institution in BO’s and tourists don’t even know it?! The fish sandwiches are outstanding, served on Cuban bread without all the stuff other restaurants pour on the dish, you can actually taste the fish! 

It tough here but we’ll manage to enjoy the area, the warm weather , the gentle breezes, - somebody has to do it. I don’t mind.
