Come on back to paradise as soon as you can.
We have been wintering down here for five months for many years now.
Unfortunately your weather was the most rain and high winds we have had for many years, but it was even worse yesterday with almost gale force winds, and thunder storms as well as a tornado warning in Marathon and a water spout sighting.
We had to leave Long Key State Park and drive across the seven mile bridge with two kayaks and a canoe on the truck roof pulling a travel trailer to Bahia Honda State Park. I didn't dare go over 40 MPH, but didn't hold any one up since no one else was dumb enough to drive over it in that weather.
Today was awesome and we paddled our sea kayaks from Geiger key into the wilderness of the Saddlebunches where we know of a shark nursery with too many three footers to count.
