The End of a Fort Myers Beach Circus Connection!

         When 91 year old Kel Egony passed away recently in Lee Memorial Hospital not many of his fellow Danes would ever have guessed that would be the place he would draw his final breathe. In his youth in Denmark, 14 year old Kel wanted to be an airplane mechanic but when the Germans invaded, his family insisted he change apprenticeships to became a mason.           Kel Jorgensen was too young to be conscripted by the Nazi's but old enough to work for the underground. Their jobs were especially difficult since the occupying German soldiers spoke fluent Danish after growing up in Denmark because of food shortages in Germany after the first World War. Still, his unit smuggled 3,000 Jews to neutral Sweden through enemy held territory before the war ended.            After the war, Kel and his brother Jorgen Jorgensen started a death defying circus act involving spinning around 75 feet in th...

Dorian Update

"When I woke up this morning I heard the most beautiful sound; The echo of 5600 Sears generators running around the Canal," said Widow Roberts. "I didn't know what to do now that I'm alone." "Don't you worry, honey," said Hanna. "We'll get your storm shutters up tomorrow." Widow Roberts and her late husband Mortimer were original residents. They were here before the Canal was a Dead End. Mort passed right after Hurricane Irma and our club members took their shutters down.  "Will Landscaper James help again this year," asked Boston Bob. "I saw him at the Little Store last night and he said the neighborhood over on West Street had already given him 'rebrainer' but he meant a retainer."

Dead End Canal Yacht Club loves the Nauti Parrot

Nauti Parrot opening a new store (already have one in Marina town) May 1st in the old Channel Mark building. Most of my readers weren't of drinking age in 1989 when the Channel Mark moved into the fire damaged Seabrease/Pit BBQ restaurant on Hurricane Pass, San Carlos Blvd. The Pit had good BBQ and the Seabrease was a very colorful, rough house bar patronizing commercial fishermen and women plus rugged individuals from all walks of life. A fire in the BBQ pit burned a portion of the roof and the place closed in October 1985. The building was extensively renovated and became the Channel Mark until it became Tim's Place @ the Channel Mark in 2004 thru 2008. Afterwards it seemed to be a new place every 1 to 2 seasons. The most successful of the recent past was the Nauti Turtle. Least successful was 'Boot Kickens' which preceded Nauti Parrot. We, Dead End Canal Yacht Club members welcome a seasoned group of owners that will hopefully eradicate the 'Boo...
