Boats can Bruise lobster ribs

"As the evening sun fell into the sea, I strolled around a peninsula jutting into the warm Caribbean Sea.  Above me frigate birds spread their great wings and rode the wind to distant homes in the cayes, the tiny offshore islands that form the Western Hemisphere's largest Barrier Reef.  Belize has a strange relationship with the sea.  In proclamation folklore Belizeans are forever declaring their love for the Caribbean. To be Belizean is to be Caribbean." --Bruce Barcott 

This is Philadelphia from Guatamala.  He lives on Nicolas Key 2 weeks at a time picking up plastic bottles, shoes, styrofoam, windex bottles, wine bottles...everything the Caribbean throws up onto the island shore, so many shoes.  Take it back please the ocean carrying nurse sharks and parrot fish calls.  Nicolas Key is 49 miles off the Belizean shore.  It's a fifteen minute foot wade around the island from start to finish.  Conch line the shore and I toss them back into the deep.  Remnants of unfinished dream cabins are hanging on by teeth.  Philadelphia keeps the rift raft away and now has stopped eating the turtle eggs due to conservation efforts.  Nicolas key is undeserted only because of Philadelphia.  There are so many idealists ideas of what such a paradise circle can offer, and yet Sea ideals for its island with a much stronger arm.  It is so unbelievably beautiful the Caribbean Sea, I will try to be better to you.
