How do you travel to work, or to shop?
Do you have to row?
This fellow lives alone and leaves every morning before 9:00 and returns each evening around 6:00.
He rows regardless of the wind and wave direction.
In these pictures both wind and water are against him,
but he made home to his big red boat, unloaded several bags of ice, checked his anchor line,
before disappearing below decks with no lights on, obvisously dead tired.
Many workers in the Marathon area live aboard boats in the harbor.
The cost of housing in the Florida Keys is untouchable for the average person
So boats make an affordable alternative, even hurricane damaged boats with no refridgeration and minimal electricity.
