Where else in the world, besides Marathon in the Florida
Keys, could you find an actual Turtle Hospital, complete with it's own
Ambulance!? -- Did you also know we have our own
Wild Bird Hospital?

A Classic MotorYacht |
In January of 2004 a chain link fence was erected under this
bridge, thereby preventing boaters from landing their dinghies and walking
into town on 20th St. We recommend that the City remove them, put in a small
floating dinghy dock and encourage boaters to use them to help business' in
that end of town benefit more from the transient dollars.

Bill Green (& wife Marian), from Cape Girardeau MO, live on
their boat here in Marathon during the season. I wonder if everyone back in
Cape Girardeau knows that Bill can slip right into his "Keysy" role? |
