Key West - Fantasy Fest 2012

We are at Sloppy Joes with "Pete and Wade" who are dressed up for Fantasy Fest as fairy's pretty funny. They are an adult only entertainment.

 Here is an interesting fellow driving down the street during Fantasy Fest.  Unfortunately, I feel it would be unappropriated to post some pictures that I took. At this festival, some or should I say most of the people are nude with body paint.

 Here is a shot of the street and it is only Tuesday, the parade is on Saturday, I guess this is an all week event.

Tutu's were a big choice of costume this year and we found out at one of the establishments it was 2 tutu's.You could not get in unless you had a tutu on.

This young lady was dressed like the devil and she was dressed up more than some.

I am not sure what they are dressed up as. But she has only paint on, that is it!!!!Oh except for her boot are real!!!!

I am enclosing some more pictures of the Fantasy Fest and they had a parade today Oct. 26, 2102 these pictures are more presentable and are very good actually.

American Shoal

We have arrived here at American Shoal and Pat and Ross are going to try to catch us some more lobster and possibly a fish for dinner MMMMMM!!!!!

 Pat found a grouper and Ross and the spear gun and shot it. We will have some nice fish filets for dinner.

 Ross wrestling with the grouper.

 Shelley opening the plastic bag so we can put the fish in the freezer until we are ready to clean the fish.

 Pat and Ross cleaning the grouper.

 Wow look at that grouper.

 Team work is how you catch a fish for dinner. Sorry Mr Grouper you are history.

 Ross and Pat put out some fishing line and look what they caught a shark about 3 feet or so, and yes we let him go actually he bit through the steel leader line.

Wow look at that mouth on that shark!

 Beautiful sunset here at American Shoal.

Looe Key Snorkeling

As we continue our adventure down to Key West, FL we decided to stop make lunch and do some snorkeling.  Looe Key. It is a nice line of coral reef with some fish as I jumped into the water and looked down I saw a reef shark.  It was a nice reef to snorkel we saw a big grouper, and lots of parrot fish.

Pat and Shelley getting the mooring ropes ready at Looe Key so we can do some snorkeling.

Here I am getting ready to do some snorkeling. The water is a beautiful blue in color and about 80 degrees just perfect with a wet suit.
