  I Love seeing a success story first hand!  About a year ago, I wrote a blog entry about a super new store that opened in Key Largo as a Marine Consignment shop. Well now, my favorite little shop in the Keys has finally made it big! Check out the article from the Miami Herald.   http://www.miamiherald.com/2011/11/18/v-print/2508413/ahoy-bargain-hunters-marine-consignment.html      Since my previous article, I have made mother Ocean, my Go-To place, for Bumpers, Line, Rods and Reels, and even Stone Crab Traps. Inventory changes daily, so you never know what you may find.  My latest purchase was an anchor retrieval system in excellent, that I got for almost 60% less than at most marine retailers.   And the best part is the warm welcome I and all their customers get when they walk thru th...

One of the Fun things about being down here in the Florida Keys, is that you never know what the tide may bring. Here are some fun morning visitors up the canal today. Manatees are our beloved friends that cruise up and down these waters and are such a delight to see. Quite often my Buyers and shocked to see them swimming, right there next to there brand new home! Once, severely endangered, manatees are making a dramatic comeback, thanks to boating regulations and awareness.  Plus with friends like Jimmy Buffett supporting your cause, you can't go wrong!

Today and Everyday, we should honor those that have given their time, and many their lives, to this Great Country of ours, in Military Service. Do Something nice for a Vet, as we are in their debt. Happy Veterans Day from The Fabulous Florida Keys!! Photo Courtesy of the Dolphin Research Center.

Numbers....I love the stories that they tell.  The veracity they hold. The unemotive truth they boldly display.   They do not care what common perception is.  They do not care of conventional wisdom.  They simply... do not ... care.  They just ... are.So while the world in seemingly in a tailspin with nightly reports of the doom and gloom in the Real Estate Market.  Someone forgot to tell they Keys!! During the first 3 Quarters of 2010, 112 waterfront homes were sold in the Upper Keys.  In 2011, a staggering 172!  A Dramatic positive change of 53.6%! As well, in the Upper Keys, the Median price during that same time of 2010 for a Waterfront Home was $550,000.  In 2011, $620,000!  A 12.7 % increase.So, there is definitely a MAJOR Change evolving in our Market.  The Supply and Demand para...

Put Your Running Shoes On!  It's time for the Third Annual Key Largo Bridge Run! I cannot image a more scenic run, cresting upon Jewfish Creek, 65 feet up, Barnes and Blackwater Sounds on either side and crisp Keys air.  Talk about a Runner's High!!

Jalapeno, Scotch Bonnet, Habanero, Ghost Chile....Peppers that could make a Pirate cry, or at least mist up. We're talkin' about Hot Sauce!! That magical elixir featuring those and other peppers that can spice up your dish with a little tang or make it so hot it can create an actual high!  Trust me, I've studied this stuff, some hot peppers can actually release endorphins, and capsacin, the active component in chile peppers is reported to help in weight loss!  I actually grow some pretty potent peppers myself.  ( How's that for alliteration!) Did you know that the Florida Keys is Home base for a fantastic Hot Sauce Company???  Florida Keys Hot Sauce Company, operated by my friend Clay Crockett, and is a locally owned company that has a full line of delicious hot sauces that add flavor a...
