Key West Fl….educate me

[Hammer]

I go down about 8 times a year What would you like to know

He’d like to know when you are going next so he can hitch a ride!

I’ve been trying to get back to KW since my first time.

Personally, if it were me I’d go during the world offshore championships. The crowd is awesome, the offshore races are a site to see, flying by 15’ off the dock. All the FPC boats that come in are bad ass too!

Seeing how you love boats and a party. That weekend is a no brainer. I flew down there. It was okay, the puddle jumper landing in KW was a little sketchy.
I’d find a way to get on or rent a CC and boat down and catch all the stops with the final destination being the Key West world championships. That’s my goal this year. Just need @River Dave to bring the company CC.

That was a good trip Mike! You were running around like a kid in a candy store! “I’m here representing RDP!”
Good times.

Alonzo’s half shell bar in bite marina for the best key lime martinis and buffalo shrimp.

Half shell raw bar in the bite marina for stone crab

Louie’s back yard bar on the south end of the island for amazing sunsets and good drinks.

If you’re into pho and down for a quick lunch the pho king awesome place on duval about midway up is bomb. As are the lobster rolls at the shack across the street.

Sushi isn’t fantastic there but if you’re craving it there’s a little place called miso happy right off of duval on southward that’s pretty good.

Can always opt for a sloppy Joe at sloppy joes (they invented the freakin thing).

As far as nightlife. We make sure to always see the Durt Bags at Durty Harry’s behind the tree bar. Probably the best cover band I’ve ever seen in my life and they do some fantastic stuff.

As you’re stumbling out of there make sure you grab a pizza out front at Angelina’s. If you remember, order it an hour before

Irish Kevin’s is fun and they usually have some guy with a guitar singing to the crowd. Sloppy joes will have a band as well. They’re all within a few hundred feet of each other.

As far as things to do. Rent a scooter air golf cart for a day and explore the island.

There’s a cool rental place that does sea doo runs through the mangroves.

There’s also a rental place that will take you out on a pontoon to lady key. Full open bar party pontoon. Basically think havasu but in key west.

Good drag show at the 801 bar if you’re feeling adventurous. Naked bar (clothing optional at the garden of edan on top of “The Bull” bar. Don’t get excited. It’s usually never anything you want to see.

There’s more. A lot more. We’re usually hammered stumbling around.

It’s a party!!! Some pics with random infamous RDP members for reference.

You should auction off “A weekend with Tank in the Keys” this weekend. . I’d be in for sure, unless i get over-served and sent home before the action starts..

. I was glad you were my “host”. By far my best RDP event boating experience. Although, Texas Outlaw Challenge was bad ass as I ran the PR with the Mills Motorsports crew in their 42 Fountain!
