'chummed the fish' - what a lovely *gag* meta....meta...huurrp....PPHOOOOORRRR (splatter)
SEE WHAT YOU MADE ME DO!!!!! Perfectly good lunch, wasted!
How often will you have to ride this ferry?
If we go into Key West each work rotation (10 days on, 4 days off), I will be on it about 4 times a month. But, this is ~supposedly~ the windy season.
You found the much better option- the Yankee Freedom. Less than half the time on the water.
I used to bum rides on the Seaplanes when they were dead-heading in the AM...
40 minutes beats 2+ hours with green tourists.
See ya-
