This Week on the Island 10/06/2019

‘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:

The book this week.

Teeki and I rode over to the bight to check out the rebuild of the retaining wall. This is outside Conch Republic Seafood.

This is a couple of days later

This is the finished product.

Last week was Fort Zack so this week is Fort Thomas Jefferson. Ft. Jeff is 70 miles west of Key West in the Dry Tortugas. (Dry for no water,Tortugas for turtles).
