This Week on the Island 07/16/2023

 

‘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: It is hot, but then it is hot most everywhere.

The book this week ‘Going Rogue’ by Janet Evanovich. I really enjoy her books.

I also started ‘Relative Humidity’ by Laurence Shames.

This week was The Lower Keys Underwater Music Festival.

We ended the week with Mel Fisher Days.

He is the guy that found The Atocha, a Spanish Treasure Ship that was sunk by a hurricane in September 1662.

US#1 is a federal highway. One end is in Key West the other is in Fort Kent, Maine. It was rebuilt in Key West and this is a picture from the 1940’s. You will notice that at the time there was water on both sides. That water has been filled and now it is covered with businesses. We call it North Roosevelt.

Next week is Hemingway Days.

We leave you with ‘Easy like Sunday morning’.
