With each step I take during my early morning power walk, the full moon shines bright above me.
The South Florida air is thick and heavy even at this early hour.
The sweet scent of night jasmine and white stopper plants fills my senses, as if a group of hippies are camped out nearby, smoking pot.
Striding through the peaceful streets, my mind clears & my energy rises.
It's a great way to start the day, and I'm ready to tackle anything that comes my way.

A novelist eye
Stout sailor's legs
And a license to fly
I got a bartender ear
And a beachcomber style
Piratical nerve
And a vaudevillian style

My favorite times is just before dawn on the boat. It's quiet, just sounds of family sleeping and a snoring dog.
I creep into the galley, make some coffee... just a hint of sugar and the perfect splash of milk.
Then I head to the flybridge and sit waiting for the sunrise, sipping coffee, listening to a pod of dolphins somewhere in the bay surface for a breath. It's still, the water is glass.
For a fleeting moment it's just me and the dawn.

Excuse me 👋 .... Point of information here
On April 23, 1982 Key West's Mayor Wardlow read a Declaration of Secession from the USA , and christened the Florida Keys the Conch Republic. He declared war on the United States and attacked an American Naval Officer with a piece of stale Cuban bread.
Moments later he surrendered and applied for billions in foreign aid.

My garden is filled with papayas and mangos
My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos
Taste for the good life
I can't live it no other way
While out on the beach there are two empty chairs
That say more than the people who ever sit there
From under my lone palm
I can look out on the day

We were born before the wind
Also, younger than the sun
'Ere the bonnie boat was won
As we sailed into the mystic....
