Good to see you in Islamorada last night Noel. Good point about avoiding the bridges. The Keys have had some great conditions for several days in the customary calm time at the start of the summer.

A kiter was pulled underwater by his kite when the tidal current carried it beneath a bridge some years back. The submerged lines passed under oysters on the piling and pulled the guy right under. He would have died down there drowned if a fisherman hadn't dove in with a knife and cut him free. This was the bridge directly north of Whale Harbor.
