Tow Boat US and/or Sea Tow Memberships... Don't Leave Port Without Them!!

It's a Big Sea out there.   Sometimes it's Benevolent, and Majestic, and simply Wonderful.  And Sometimes.... Sometimes,  it'll make you It's Bitch.

Been There

It's THOSE times that you need to be prepared.  BOATS break down.  It's part of the ... joys having a boat.  Again, BOATS break down.  And that is why I don't let any of my Clients and Friends, go on the water in their boats without a membership to either Tow Boat Us or Sea Tow.


These are basically the AAA of the sea, providing assistance and towing when needed.  From dead batteries, to running out of gas, to my @#$&%ing engine won't start and I'm 10 *&^ing miles off shore in 600 feet of water and I need to get home, bad situations.  These Guys and Gals are the Cavalry.

Done That

For a yearly membership fee, you buy peace of mind and a WHOLE lot of Savings.

Case in point...
I have a membership with Tow Boat US, not that Sea Tow is no better or worse, just my membership has always been with Tow Boat.  Well yesterday, before I was about to go out collecting my crab traps for the end of Stone Crab season, I realized that my membership had expired.  I immediately went at 8:15am to renew at my local West Marine.  I paid my $160+/- membership fee. At 11:15 AM I am off  Key Largo cruising at about 30 knots when my prop slips off my boat into the briny.  No prop=stuck!  So here it is just 3 hours later after I renewed and I am calling for a tow back to port!  I call on my VHF and soon one of their friendly captains was there to bring us in. It took two hours to get us back.

How much did he charge me ??? $0.   How much WOULD it have cost?? $485 !!  That 1 incident paid for itself.  That was yesterday.  I am certain that over the next 364 days I will be calling them again for assistance.  And while I will be frustrated at being stuck..I will have piece of mind, that I can get back and not have a several hundred $$ towing charge.

So, Get out on the Big Sea,  Know that It may want to and may even make you, It's Bitch.  But at least come prepared with an exit strategy in the form of a Sea Tow or Tow Boat Us Membership.  Because....BOATS break down!

The Times, They Are A-Changin' - Maddoxes Sell Captain Pip's Marina and Hideaway.

The times, they are a-changin'.
I have always had a fond spot for Porkey's and Captain Pip's Marina in Marathon, one of the last bastions of old time Keyzness.
Both were owned for a considerable time by the same owners who has now divested both spots to new owners.
Lets' hope they keep that same vibe that made these places such a treat.
Here is an article from KeysInfo.Net with more info on the change in ownership:

"Maddoxes sell Captain Pip's Marina and Hideaway to Crawford

By RYAN McCARTHY

rmccarthy@keynoter.com April 30, 2014 

J ust fewer than four months after selling their Porky's Bayside Restaurant, longtime owners Johnny Maddox and Barbara Maddox are turning over the reins to the other half of their Old Town Marathon business.

Stuart resident Ernie Crawford is scheduled to close today and take over Thursday as the owner of Captain Pip's Marina and Hideaway around mile marker 47.5 bayside. The Maddoxes owned the restaurant and adjacent fishing, rental boat and lodging businesses for roughly 17 years.

"I saw a magazine article that Captain Pip's was for sale and I called and here I am," Crawford said.
Crawford said Captain Pip's is his first foray into the marina or hotel business, but he's a veteran business owner at just 45 years old.
 Crawford said he owned 25 Arrow Mart convenience stores and 16 Subway sandwich shops in upstate New York before selling them all seven years ago. He said he later bought a golf course in Perry, N.Y., and owned it for three years before moving to Stuart.
Crawford said he plans to upgrade engines on all 15 rental boats and upgrade the property's 15 rental units.
"I'm going to be painting all the buildings to make it more of a tropical setting and doing some remodeling inside," he said. "We're also bringing in kayak and paddleboard rentals and we're restructuring our room rates."
Rooms would be available without a boat rental, or with a rental at 50 percent off. "That's going to put our room rates much more competitive," Crawford said.
Crawford said Ellie Cote, Captain Pip's manager for 13 years, is staying with the company and that the business would remain open while repairs take place.
The only part of the operation Crawford did not purchase was the charter boat portion, which Johnny Maddox is retaining.
"I'm going to keep Captain Pip's charters, which is now going to be Johnny Maddox Charters. We'll be in conjunction with Ernie because the Capt. Pip's package, the whole genre of it all, revolves around fishing and lodging," he said.

Maddox said he and Barbara take pride in what they accomplished at Porky's and Captain Pip's.
"We're proud to say we were able to take it from what it was known in town back in the '90s as, Capt. Pip's rent-a-junk, up to a premier fishing and lodging, boat-rental business," he said. "We know [Crawford is] going to take it and make it even bigger and better than what we've done."

In January, the Maddoxes sold Porky's to longtime employees Sean Johnson and Magdalena Jedrzejewska. Terms of that deal and the latest one were disclosed".

City Council Approves $77M for 7-Mile Bridge

The 7-Mile Bridge.
The stuff of legend.  An Engineering marvel.
Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Lives were all lost to mete out the ability to cross the multi-hued waters of Moser Channel
But what an AMAZING creation!
She's taken a beating, the Original has.  And now, the sensible powers that be, have earmarked funds for maintenance of this Local, National, and International Treasure.

"City council approves $77M for 7-Mile bridge

BY TIMOTHY O'HARA Citizen Staff
tohara@keysnews.com

Florida Keys local governments have begun to give their formal blessings to a funding plan to renovate the

Old Seven Mile Bridge.
On Tuesday night, the Marathon City Council approved the roughly $77 million plan between itself, the Monroe County Commission and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The agreement calls for 30 years worth of repairs and upgrades to the 100 year-old bridge that once carried Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad, with FDOT paying for the lion's share of it.
Under the terms of the agreement, FDOT would maintain ownership of the bridge. FDOT would pay $57 million of the projected $77 million in repair and maintenance costs over the next 30 years. Monroe County would pay $14.2 million, and Marathon would pay $5.3 million to help cover the cost of repairs. The county would have to pay an additional $720,000 up front to repair the Pigeon Key ramp, according to the agreement.
The Marathon City Council voted unanimously in favor of the agreement.
"The enthusiasm was unbelievable," Mayor Dick Ramsay said.
The Monroe County Commission tentatively approved the funding plan in December. Commissioner Danny Kolhage was the only one on the dais to vote against funding the project. He said he would like to see the county's share of the funding go to bridges and roads that residents drive on daily.
Kolhage again plans to vote against the project, he said.
FDOT District 6 Superintendent Gus Pego is in full support of the funding plan. If the plan is approved by the County Commission, FDOT would start the design work this year and hopefully construction next year, Pego said.
"We have made this a priority for Monroe County," Pego said. "I am confident we will be able to find the money for it."

The commission meets at 9 a.m. Wednesday at the Marathon Government Center."

Stop The Presses!!!! Here Comes My Florida Keys Real Estate Resource Update for February 2014!

Supply and Demand ...Supply and Demand.
Right now here in the Florida Keys...we are out of Whack with Supply and Demand.

Like itchy Meth Heads  not unlike those seen in Breaking Bad, there are Buyers here in the Florida Keys that are HARDCORE jonesing for some fresh new Real Estate offerings.

They are Hungry.  I'm about to start walking around in a Trench Coat with brochures stapled to the interior lining, hustling Buyers at places like Holiday Isle, (Yes I Called It Holiday Isle!!! PCI?? Hmmm that's for another post),  going pssst, "Hey I got some premium Canal Front for ya.... How about a hit of some Buccaneer Point 3/2 or a dose of Venetian Shores wide water??"

The thing is we NEED more inventory, although the numbers might skew what I saying, in the trenches, Buyers are having a hard time finding what they are looking for.  The quality listings are selling fast, but there are also a good deal of properties that are OVERPRICED.  And they are overpriced because they are trying to jump on the bandwagon of the sales prices going UP, as evidenced by the jumps seen in the report below.  But these properties are outside the realistic numbers Buyers are willing to pay, and therefore we have a glut of listings "sitting there" and a harsh absence of truly sellable, market conscious properties for sale.

And Thus we have the tweeks roaming the streets and High Seas.

An interesting tidbit as well is that the List Price to Sale Price ratio has stayed constant at just under 8%, a question that I am often asked.

 

Call me for more info and especially to get YOUR home on the Market.

Starting Tomorrow, The Pirates Take Back The Waves ...Air Waves That Is.

I cannot tell you how jazzed I am about this!

Our main local radio station here in the Upper Florida Keys, is changing it's format...a bit.
Good Bye Corporate Homoginized, Stale Milque-Toast, Clear Channel, and Hello Florida Keys centric, grab a Conchtail, it's 5 O'Clock Here, here's what's going on, and the trop-music you (and our beloved Tourists) want to hear, Local programming!!

Starting tomorrow, the Pirates take back the waves ...  air waves that is.

Sun 103.1 FM has been purchase by a group that is committed to local programming and locally preferred music.

As a sponsor of two of the stations long running talk shows, I and many others have been pushing for this type of change.  Including playing more trop-rock and Key'z tunes,  YES that means MORE Jimmy Buffett!!! Butch up!!

Ok, yes, some of are locals are fed up with Buffett et al and trop-reggea tunes.  BUT!!! The guy and his family escaping from Cleavland or Chicago, or Pittsburgh, WANTS to tune on the radio and hear THAT!! when their cruisin' in the Keys.  And since their tourist $$$ keep our property taxes low, may I suggest Son of A Son of a Sailor??

No more stale AEROSMITH!! and I like Aerosmith, hell I Sing Aerosmith, But we are the Keys...Let's Sound like the Keys.

Maybe I am a bit hyper about this, but you must know that when I was a Kid in Miami, I used to listen in at night to the then local station, WXOS and revel in the Keys-z music they would play and even get off on the local commercials BECAUSE it gave such a great TASTE of the Keys.  That...Essence was there.  And I can tell you many of my Customers who are out of the area seek the very same thing.
That is why they revel in Captain Matt's Fishing reports.

To those who do not embrace the change, may I suggest an iPod.

Here is what Local Radio personality, my friend , and architect of the transition, Joey Naples had to say:

"Big changes start tomorrow morning! SUN FM is now owned by Florida Keys Media.....No more Clear Channel! This is going to be incredible for all of us! We will be live and local! We will be covering our local High School sports live! As always, we will be playing all your favorite classic rock songs! The line up goes like this......K.C. Stuart in the morning....6 am till 10....he'll not only be rocking it out for ya, but he'll be bringing you all the info you need to know to start your day in paradise! Then at 10 am it's the King of Cool (yours truly!) for Joey in the MidDay! Fun, Classic Rock, weather, fishing, diving.....you name it!
Then at 2 pm it's Bill Hoebee for the Hoebee in the Afternoon Experiment! the funniest guy on the radio! So please join us tomorrow morning starting at 6am......This is going to be fun! .......one more thing...we are going to be so local that if you lose your dog, call me and I will put it on the air! Love you guys!"

How's THAT for Local programming!!

Very Honored To Recieve My Latest Testimonial From Another Happy Customer!

The greatest satisfaction that I derive from my Career as a Real Estate Agent, is knowing that my Customers where enthusiastic about the level of Service that I was able to provide to them.

The Sellers of a very recent sale at Buttonwood Bay, Unit D1, were very kind to send me a testimonial that I am honored to share with you..

"Mykael is simply the best.  Our Key Largo property had been listed with another realtor for a year and a half, resulting only in insultingly low offers that the realtor nevertheless encouraged us to take.  We changed to Mykael, got a very good contract within 19 days, and closed within a couple of months.  I believe that Mykael's intensive marketing efforts and vast web of professional contacts exposed our property to many more potential buyers than had previously seen it and facilitated this very quick, successful transaction. Because we do not live in Key Largo, Mykael handled every on-site detail, from helping us get tile repaired to ensuring that our place was clean and showed well, to managing the inspections.  Selling our wonderful Key Largo property was difficult, but Mykael's professionalism, energy, and great attitude made it as painless as possible.  Thank you Mykael!"

Janet Humphreys

 
I cannot begin to tell you how humbled I am to receive such kind words from some really super Customers.

Hotel Planned For Old American Outdoors Site in Key Largo

Saw this today reported at Keys Info Net.
This is right in my neighborhood and I look forward to something bright and new, shiny and bold.
As mentioned in the article, the Condo/Hotel craze never took off, (As your Conchquistador advised many of his clients to stay farrrr away from such projects)..
Just not the promised upside when you sat down and did the proverbial math.
At least, may, out of the ashes, rise a glorious new Phoenix.

"A" Markes the Spot of the Mentioned Property

"Hotel Planned For Old American Outdoors Site

Property is a monument to the never-was condo/hotel era

By DAVID GOODHUE

dgoodhue@keysreporter.com
Earthmovers and other construction equipment are clearing the way for a multi-building "boutique hotel" at the old American Outdoors RV Park bayfront lot at mile marker 97.5.
Specifics are few, as the developers seek "a multitude of approvals" from the county, said Larry Abbo, chief executive officer of Prime Hospitality Group, the developer. But what is known is that Prime Hospitality wants to build a 15-building hotel on the 14-acre site. The project also calls for 160 parking spaces, Abbo said.

There is no rendering of the hotel released yet, but it will be part of Marriot's boutique Autograph Collection, Abbo said.Joseph Haberman, manager of Monroe County's Department of Planning and Review, said the Prime group is in the process of going through various building requirements. The property is already zoned to allow hotels, Haberman said.

For the past eight years, the property, with its faded sales sign for a project called Playa Cristal, stood as a monument to a fledgling real estate trend that never got off the ground in the Keys in the mid-2000s, despite a serious and expensive build-up -- the condo/hotel.

Playa Cristal was to be developed by a now-defunct company called Cortex Living Resort, which had several other proposed projects throughout the Keys during that era. Cortex bought American Outdoors RV Park for $28 million in 2005.
The plan was to demolish the 154 RV hookups and build a condo/hotel -- where investors bought and rented out rooms -- with 92 upscale units. The plans boasted restaurants and a lounge that would take guests back to "Hemingway-era Cuba." Cortex was selling units for between $690,000 to $4 million.
But not enough buyers invested, and the condo/hotel age never materialized despite the gobbling up of dozens of prime waterfront locations Keyswide by ambitious developers at exorbitant prices.
The Playa Cristal property became tangled in a $40 million foreclosure lawsuit in 2009, according to the Miami Herald.

Monroe County Property Appraisers records show Key Largo Hospitality Trust, a Prime Group subsidiary, bought the property for $7.3 million in November 2012."

Forget Turkey....It's Lobster and Stone Crab. It's How We Do Thanksgiving in the Keys!!

Not sure if Squanto had this in mind when he hooked up with the Pilgrims to celebrate the Autumn Harvest Meal we now call Thanksgiving, but down here, we say screw the Turkey ,and break out some Keys fare to be Thankful for!!

As I write this at Casa de Conchquistador, my Keys Bungalow in Key Largo's Sunset Point, I can smell the aroma of Pumpkin Pie baking (well gotta have Something Traditional), hear the sounds of Jimmy on the stereo, taste the damn good Bloody Mary in hand, see gorgeous Bougainvilleas in full fiery bloom,  but I am touched, touched by the fact that I am privileged to have some many wonderful clients and friends.

So to celebrate Thanksgiving, we are, like the Pilgrims, enjoying our own Autumn Harvest of Fresh Lobster and Stone Crab that
we went out and caught. Add to that, a little homemade fish dip made from smoked Spanish Mackerel that we recently pulled in, and we've got the foundation for a meal that would make those Puritans wanna get down and boogie.  A few Tropical Cocktails, a ride in the Convertible and I am certain that there would be quite a few Scarlet Letters being sewn on Friday!!!


One of the Greatest benefits of this real estate career though, is the opportunity to transition Clients into Friends, and my Lovely wife and I look forward to jumping in the boat for a quick cruise to some new Friends' place for desserts afterwards.


As we do, I will smell the Ocean and Bay, hear some  Zac Brown blowing in the salty wind, taste another Bloody Mary, see the stunning Sun set in the azure water hoping to see the mythical Green Flash, and I can only hope to ... Touch You, dear Reader, as you have touched me!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
