I'd be ok if this virus took out half the folks living down here as long as it prevented more people from coming down here.
Just spent the first week of March in Key Largo. Had a good time but since you don't seem to like us yankees down there I'll try to help you out from now on. If anyone asks me my opinion of the keys I'll tell them the following:
If you're into fishing and have your own boat it's probably great. I assume the same goes for diving. Otherwise the keys are a 100 mile long strip mall (except for the bridges). The diving is seasonally limited by wind, heat, and hurricanes. If you go down hoping to dive casually you'll probably end up on a (well run) cattle boat diving a beat up shallow reef. The traffic is a PITA and Key West is just like any other tourist trap.
I'll recommend going to Bonaire where I feel appreciated.
Will that work for you letterguy?
I agree 100% with your assessment.. of course, without all of the tourists, it wouldn’t be near as much of a tourist trap.Just spent the first week of March in Key Largo.

Windfinder is predicting great seas next week.I agree 100% with your assessment.. of course, without all of the tourists, it wouldn’t be near as much of a tourist trap.
Seems we both get what we want.
