I spent some formative years docking at Ocean Reef, taking a 24' open fishing boat, with twin 85 Evinrude outboards. Sometimes traveling around to cross Florida Bay to Flamingo (no easy trip) back down to Marathon, and up the oceanside back to OR.

The place was spankin' new, then, and the first place I ever saw forklift stacked boatdocks.

I doubt those barns survived Andrew, twelve years later, and I can only imagine what the place looks like today.

I doubted I wanted to stop by and ruin my memories of what I think I remember about the place now, more than 40 years later.

Now, after Zero has left his taint there, I know I won't want to go back.

The man soils the ground he walks on.
