I am addicted to suckers like Telly Savallis was.
Things are getting out of control down here.....for only the second time in my life I was shut out of my own town. Since the keys has reopened we have had record numbers of people( infected ) come to the keys. Not a single parking spot anywhere. If you don't get up now and go where your planning to go you will have no chance of enjoying any ocean access. Every touron is here to catch lobster right now. The season is incredible so far with record numbers of lobsters being caught. Traffic is off the chain crazy and road rage is everywhere. Battled my way to a swim hole to hunt....cops were there with a sign that said full capacity. He said are you gonna go in and park ? I said yes....all of a sudden he says go ahead there's room....I said forget it I don't want to be in there !! They were actually keeping people from parking on the road and setting up camp on the side of US1. These tourists will come down with 15 people and 3 dogs and set up tents and chairs kayaks and fishing gear and they bring there own coolers full of food. They don't stay at a hotel or even buy food or spend any money when there here....there here to take take and take. They catch all the small fish, dont obey any fishing laws, and leave piles of trash and shi* all over the side of the road. They block access to the ocean with there fuc**ng tents cars and trash. It has become a crisis among locals....we make a living showing tourists the keys....it seems like every Corona virus idiot has cometo the keys. This whole social distance thing is stupid if no one else gives a shi*. I will go hunt the family compound today. The compound property sits across US1 from one of the survivor camps from the 1733 fleet. That coincidence was not by chance when properties were being considered. I also found out that the previous owner was a rich party girl. She had an on going party house with lots of people always staying on property. So I'll hunt the old conch house ruins and hit the swim beach and see if anyone lost jewelry at these parties. Not even gonna try to get out on the water by boat.....to many idiots out there !! There will be several deaths this weekend from boat accidents and car crashes....not enough room for this many people in the keys....we are being over run....its one thing to reopen.....quite another to allow all time record crowds to pile in to the keys at the height of a pandemic.....total lunacy !!
I don't think it's any better than other years. Busy though by our standards.
Bart, what the hell is going on in the Florida Keys with the tourists these days?! Believe me, I realize how serious a problem COVID-19 is and has been, but why are people acting so irrationally? The US has a serious health emergency going on right now, but for some reason the general public just isn't taking it seriously.
Jim, I'm thinking people are just thinking that they can behave anyway they want to now that the risk of contracting COVID here in Ontario is so low. Have you always had these types of boater & camper problems or does it seem to be exceptionally bad this year?
I don't like the direction that our world is going in now. It's almost like it's every man for themselves and to hell with everyone else, we're just going to do whatever we want!
Rough weekend...
We locked the house key in the house when we left to work, and when we came back, we saw the keys on the table. So we tried every window and door, until we came to the tiny, unlocked bathroom window. I quickly deduced that I was the only one who MIGHT fight in there, and after a lot of maneuvering, I got my lower half inside, leaving footprints all over the wall.Now I'm half in, half out, my arms sticking straight up, and I'm already bent to an angle that I shouldn't be bending too, and I'm stuck. So what do I do? Bend more and now I'm almost bent in half, and my back is screaming STOP! STOP! I popped in more or less, and had terrible pain all day. I'm fine now. I would have kicked in the door myself...
