Goodbye Nauti Turtle..... or is it good riddance?


It's probably been 18 months since we (DECYC) regularly frequented the 'Nauti Turtle. Some of us were mad 'cause they booted those obnoxious Ohio fans like the Browns DOG POUND and the much more refined "Buckeye Backers" and some of us didn't like the food and some of us felt the place was dirty and some of us didn't like the constant change in help BUT all of us didn't like the managment, period.

The owner of the business came from Toledo and it was strange that he couldn't put up with the Dog Pound when they were loyal drunks and probably spent every Fall Sunday guzzling overpriced drinks. The manager  was all biz. He was unwilling or unable to be pleasant and that is a necessity for upper restaurant management.

We love Betty! Hell, everybody loves Betty but even she couldn't make us change our mind.

The Nauti Turtle closed Monday April 28th and already their has been an influx of former patrons to the Sunset Bar. There goes a nice peaceful summer!

The Dolphins will still be there. Watch them feed in Hurricane Pass. With a view like this, the mgmt must have been horrible!

all of us like the view. They had their rough patches but the employees tried real hard. Timber Kimber and most of them really made it a fun place sometimes.

Hope someone opens it back up soon!

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...

"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." '"It's time to round up some help," said Cap'n Crunch.  This blog/column is meant for educational purposes only.  Strictly Satire!   Any resemblance to real persons, ...

Boating; Captain Manny Lee and Corazon Frisbee!

Image
  In response to a recent blog/column, I received a picture of the new 'Corazon Frisbee', the one year old queen of Cap'n Manny Lee's Marshall sloop sailboat named after her ; Captain Manny Lee and Corazon Frisbee are living large in the Florida Keys @ Bone Island Bob's private marina in Islamorada, Florida, mile marker 74.5. Private Charters aboard his boat from one to five passengers. Throwing the Frisbee for 'Sweetie Corazon' is no charge but remember she never quits just like her predecessor. For her birthday she received a new coconut (husk and all) along with a few other treats. The coconut husk is great dental floss. On your way through the Keys stop and say hello to Manny and Corazon. http://www.mannylee.com/index.html CAPTAIN McCLUSKY SAILING CHARTERS | 74540 Overseas Highway, Islamorada, FL 33036 | 281-508-7174
