Tigger: 1997-2008

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

Low Key Watersports mascot Tigger, born September 26, 1997, passed away Thursday, May 1, 2008.

As many readers know, Tigger was striken with an unusual and debilitating disease earlier this year. Tigger fought back and made a miraculous recovery, but relapsed in recent weeks.

Even in his final weeks Tigger did what Tigger always did best. He made everybody who came by to see him smile.

If you knew Tigger, take a minute to remember him…then smile.

The old Chilly Billy’s space is open for business again, starting Wednesday morning as “Jake’s”, named after Jake, the son of owners Carl and Shaun (related story.) Jake’s will start with a hearty breakfast menu until 2 p.m. Lunch and dinner ‘til 10 p.m. will be added soon. Check out the breakfast menu, here.

Jake, the restaurant’s namesake, turned 1 year old May 1st. Nice birthday present kid.

A ferry good day

Monday, May 5th, 2008

We don’t ride the passenger ferry much. That’s a shame. It’s always a great treat to come across actually being able to see everything, and to breath and feel the sea breeze on your face, not to be buried between a loaded down Suzuki on one side and an idling delivery truck on the other, like on the barge.

Take a ferry ride across, below. (Apologies to those of you who don’t get to get off the boat when we get there.)

When did donkeys learn to read?

Saturday, May 3rd, 2008

Goats and donkeys aren’t loved by everybody. These signs are at the end of a driveway on Centerline Road on your way into Coral Bay. Wonder how compliance is going.

Jeep Cam: Getting to the East End

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

It’s a 10 minute drive at least from Coral Bay just to where The East End begins. That’s a long time to stare at your computer. So we’ll do that 10 minute drive in 2 minutes. Buckle up. From Coral Bay to the famous East End sign, in Hyper-Jeep mode, below…
