: About six months ago i started reading this
: board with the thought of sailing down to
: Boot Key and even after reading all the
: whiners and dreamers of the old days coming
: back i went for it . Personaly i found it to
: be the last place on the east coast to
: harbor all the scumbag boaters who have no
: pride in how their boat looks or themselfs.
: They hang under the tree everyday drinking
: the cheapest beer they can find and whin
: about all the big money that has taken over
: and seem to be amazed that they are being
: pushed out. There have always been those who
: feel better putting the blame for their lot
: in life on those who have done better in
: life. What i noticed is most of the
: complaints about the Nazis and all are by
: those who look like they would be trouble
: IE...those whos boat looks like floating
: junk and they themself look like they need a
: bath and a shave.Then theres the complaints
: about how exspensive the city marina
: is...thats a joke because its the cheapest
: deal on the east coast !!!!In the five
: months i spent there NO ONE boarded my boat
: or hasseled me in any way shape or
: form...and i found the city marina and the
: employees to be very nice...a thought for
: some of the whiners would be to take off...
: if their boat could move {which is
: doughtful}and head down to a third world
: country and try it there...they wouldnt last
: a week without all the things they are used
: to in the USA...another thought ...cancel
: the 40 bucks a month for the internet...stop
: buying the 12 pack daily ...and stop hanging
: around the walking wounded under the
: tree...take the money you save and buy a can
: of paint and try making your floating home
: look like something youd be proud of...o and
: some soap and a razer would work wonders
: ...then sit back and see if you get a little
: of the respect you think your intitled to{
: cause you own A boat}...and maybe the Nazis
: you speak of will leave you alone... heres
: another news flash... if you get a ticket
: for no lights on your dink...buy a
: flashlight....if they hassel you for dumping
: sewerage in the harbor...buy a porta
: potti...if you seem to be targeted by those
: in charge....look in the mirror...and try to
: remember....what you project is what you get
: back....o ya .. Dockside...the worst service
: and food in the keys ....the waitstaff has
: not a clue what to do...the cook looks like
: a Manson relative ...and the general
: attitude is just not up to par...i heard
: about some new owners...they must be
: absentee owners...and the local color is
: just plain scarry...the posts about the
: locals supporting a place in the off season
: are funny...the locals i saw didnt look like
: they could support themselfs ...let alone a
: so called restaurant... but the Admirals of
: the ocean who do hang around and tell their
: stories of life on the water are
: amusing...kinda like grandpa who repeats the
: same old story over and over...they have fun
: talking about novice boaters because when
: they first got one they knew EVERYTHING and
: were EXPERTS...like the guy Bruce at the
: marina...could go on and on with his
: experience and knowledge of boats...then you
: hear his broke down on the way home
: ...shouldnt be suprised since it never left
: the wall in years !!!!!...and the self
: appointed Mayor of the harbor...who i heard
: others say he told them to leave the harbor
: in two days cause he didnt like them or the
: way their boat looked...then i took a dink
: ride past his...egos are funny things...and
: those who think because they own a boat
: ...they should have all these services for
: free are just simply living in the
: past...they never stepped up to the plate or
: brought anything to the party and will
: continue to wander around blaming everyone
: else...while all in all the keys are still
: great...and ya its sad to see all the
: development and the old days gone...this is
: a fact of life EVERYWHERE...you either get
: in the game or sit on the side
: lines...bottom line...the ones on this board
: who talk about they care about the keys and
: whats happened are just blowing smoke...it
: is obvious if you read between the lines
: ...they care about themselfs and appear to
: be looking for the past to reappear...and in
: the meantime its the sad old " O POOR
: ME I KEEP GETTING DUMPED ON AND I CANT
: FIGURE OUT WHY"...to all those who are
: trying to get in the game and make it a
: better place... good luck...you have your
: work cut out for ya..............
