Springtime on Garden Key
Are you ready to start working on your tan?
Preliminary dates are set for the May 2009 trip to the Dry Tortugas...
Departing the dock in Key Weird on Friday May 1st
Returning to the dock Sunday May 3rd
It's not going to be the "gourmet" trip like the December... No steaks, no shrimp, no stone crab claws... Just variations on 'dogs and burgers, lots of snacks and, of course, adult beverages.
Of course, the trade-off will be that the "consumable fee" won't be the $100 it was last time.
Probably be more on the line of $45 - $65, depending on the number of participants.
(The Consumable fee covers the camping fee, supplies, food, drinks and booze.)
We'll have 3 more hours of sunlight than during the December trip, and temps will be in the 80's during the day and be in the 70's at night. Water temp should be around 82 degrees F. (December was 69 degrees, hence the icicles hanging off the palm trees when we arrived.)
So... I have a dozen spots.
Who's game?

Money, however, is not.
I'm pondering adding some deadlines to this little project in order to get some closure.
One question, which I'm sure is one a few people's minds, is concerning bathroom facilities in an area designated "primitive camping".
There are two options for restrooms...
From 10:30 to 2:30 each day, while the Ferries are at the dock, everyone uses the marine bathrooms aboard the boats. The bathrooms on the island are closed.
(And if you use the closed bathrooms, you can be fined 200.00 for entering a designated "Closed Area" - And believe me, the rangers will write that ticket without batting an eye.)
After the Ferries leave, the island bathrooms are unlocked. These bathrooms are Clivus composting toilets. They are better than some other CTS units that I've used, and they are lightyears beyond current state-of-the-art public toilets in Asia.
Really, the bathrooms are passable.
(You might wonder why do I have pictures of the toilets? Do I have some bizarre toilet fetish? Sorry, no. You'll have to see some of the folks in Marketing for that kink.
My pics are because I wrote the documentation for operations and cleaning the bastards one year that I was down there. Jeez.)
