Marathon - Boot Key Harbor - Tough Commute

How do you travel to work, or to shop?
Do you have to row?
This fellow lives alone. He leaves every morning before 9. Returns each evening around 6.
He rows. He paid no regard to wind and waves.
This day, both wind and water are against him.
He made it home to his big red ship.
He unloaded several bags of ice and checked his anchor line
before disappearing below decks.
There were no lights on. He was 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, can make a good home.
