That's a big American Croc!

They're pretty shy and generally avoid people.

You may own a boat in Florida if you belong to a hurricane haul-out club.

Hey are you visiting the Conch Republic (aka the Florida Keys and Key West)?

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is asking the public’s help to gather valuable information about horseshoe crabs by reporting sightings on an online survey.

Report sightings by visiting MyFWC.com/research, click on “Crustaceans,” then “Horseshoe Crabs” and selecting “Report Your Nesting Horseshoe Crab Sighting” to complete the survey.

Cause I got a school boy heart
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.

Am 23. April 1982, heute vor 41 Jahren, wurde auf den Florida Keys die Conch Republic ausgerufen.

Hintergrund waren Grenzkontrollposten auf der Straße zwischen den Inseln und dem US-Festland.

Dennis Wardlow, der Bürgermeister von Key West, rief die Conch Republic aus, erklärte den USA den Krieg und kapitulierte nach einer Minute. Infolge der medienwirksamen Protestaktion wurden die Kontrollpunkte abgebaut.
