This Week on the Island 07/16/2016

 ‘This Week on the Island’ is written by Doug Bennett and is an update to friends about happenings in Key West last week. Everything is true except for those parts that are lies.

The Weather: Same as the last seven weeks. Hot and humid until November with a chance of a hurricane.  Pic from Howard Livingston.

This week’s book was ‘Key West Storm Warning’ by Mike Pettit.

The Lazy Gecko has closed and fired everyone. Will re-open and will bring in a new crew, will not hire locals.

House on Simonton Street getting some much-needed love and attention.

This week was Mel Fisher Days. Mel found the Atochia and brought up millions and millions in gold, silver and precious stones.

Some men from Alabama got in a lot of trouble. Lobster season starts in August. Before lobster season we have lobster mini season where individuals can catch lobster (6 per person per day). These guys were caught with over 300 lobster tails.

Then a woman from Texas is caught with over 40 Queen Conch

And last week 2 guys from Miami were caught with 3 Key Deer in their car.

Robert Davi is in town.

And last but hopefully not lease, a nice lady took this picture of me and Teeki.
