So, you think living in paradise is all boating, fishing and sunning? Think again. Like home ownership everywhere, there can be certain issues: dealing with the historical society if you live in Old Town, hurricanes, and the one I did not count on, iguanas. I’ve named ours Iago.
Ask just about anyone what makes life in the Florida Keys and Key West great and the answer is the same: the water. Snorkeling, sunning and fishing – pretty much anything having to do with boating top the list. I also love a good boat outing. Since I don’t own […]
