Forget
George Carlin's 7 dirty words. Forget the F, S, C, P, D, and just about
any other A thru Z words....When it comes to June 1st in the Florida
Keys, one word is MOST Profane!!!! Wash your mouth out with bad Zest
Profane..and that is The H-Word....Hurricane.

Yep, It's THAT Time of Year Again. |
Yes,
like most of the Eastern states, The Florida Keys once again hold its
collective breath as we start another dreaded Hurricane Season. Our
little stretch of 118 miles of dust, gravel, and mangroves are prone to
these suckers!

The Lovely, yet Somber,
Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada |
All joking aside, Hurricanes have had an indelible
effect on the Florida Keys. One visit to the lovely, yet somber
Hurricane Memorial in Islamorada, quickly paints the image of the power
and destructive capability these massive weather phenomena posses.
Who
can deny the impact the 1935 Storm had. It virtually and literally
collapsed the Overseas Railway. It fueled Hemingway's creative fires for
several of his subsequent novels. Most people are not aware that
Hemingway was quite an unsung hero of the 1935 storm, providing great
assistance in relief efforts aboard his Boat Pilar.
So,
as we break out our shutters and refresh our mooring plans and search
for that perfect hurricane hole for our boats. We get ready in true Keys
fashion: We throw on Jimmy Buffett's "
Tryin' to Reason with Hurricane Season", Mix up a batch of Margaritas, and give the H-word...the F-word.
Ready
to find YOUR port in the storm??? Put the experience and expertise of
The Conchquistador to work for you! For more information on the
