Island Time..........

It's a great time of the year to be on AMI.  Less crowded, lower temperatures and the sunsets remain spectacular!
Yesterday afternoon I was out on the paddleboard.  One of my favorite places to paddle is up close to the mangroves behind the Key Royale Golf Course.  There are always plenty of fish and birds to spot.  Frequently I'll also see dolphins, rays and occasionally a manatee or two.  One of the tee boxes for the golf course is just behind the mangroves.  Yesterday's most entertaining action was on this tee.  As I was paddling along I noticed a couple teeing off.  The gentleman was on the tee with the "Weapon of Mass Destruction" aka a driver in his hand.  I looked away to make sure I wasn't going into the mangroves when I heard the familiar sound of the club striking the ball.  That sound was quickly followed by a sound that I am all to familiar with and that was the ball striking a tree.  The lady (I'm assuming wife) said "that was going to be a really good shot until it curved and hit the tree".  I guess I should have taken a closer look at them on the off chance that she turns up missing in the next few days.
