Welcome!

I'm Frank Papy and I've got a few stories to tell - so pour yourself a glass of your favorite cold drink and stay awhile. We're on island time here, so make yourself at home!

This website is one way that I share my time on my research vessel Skybird with others. I've been writing about the Florida Keys and the Bahamas for over 20 years, and everyday I learn something new. It's my pleasure to share it with you!

The New 14th Edition Keys Cruising Guide is Available on Kindle!

The Best Cruising Reference Guides you can get for the Florida Keys and the Bahamas!
