On my days off this week, I tried to get some friends to go out to Cooks Island. A plan was formulated for Wednesday to head out and party for a few days. In regular Key West fashion, on Tuesday evening everyone backed out. I decided to spend Wednesday hanging with Tim here in town and head to the island on Thursday. I got my Friday shift covered at the bar and so I decided to spend Thurs-Sat out by myself on island. Do some reflecting on life and just enjoy the sea.
Peter was kind enough to offer me the use of his boat and the cabin on Cooks. I would be dumb not to take advantage of this opportunity when my schedule permits. So I made the call and it was definitely the right one!
The last time I was out there, Peter said there were key deer on the island. I laughed and thought he was crazy. I looked for signs of them but never saw a track or anything to indicate he was correct. This trip by myself was a different story. I don't have any photo proof but there are three key deer that live on the island! They came out after sunset each night and would eat the grass and palm fronds next to me and my fire. They were quite the entertainment each night.
Here are the pictures from the weekend!
This is the toilet room. It has to be above flood level to pass code!
Sunrise the last day on island!
