scallywags welcome

Shipwreck's is the type of place that make you want to sing "Yo-ho, yo-ho a pirate's life's for me"- but don't do it, because I did. And while I was eating the most delicious fish dip ever (served with chopped up green peppers, onions and come crackers) a man with no teeth (this probably means he's a real pirate right?) turned around and started laughing at me. A big hearty laugh that meant "oh you silly city slicker." So, I started laughing too, and between the two of us we were way louder than the History Channel special playing on the big screen. 

Shipwreck's is a local's dive full of locals who dive. The food was probably yanked fresh out of the water that day, and boy is it delicious. All the fish is super fresh and so are the waitresses who are fast talkin' Keys girls. (Does anyone know what the Keys accent is called? It's like Southern Pirate or something. I'm tre jealous)

Anyway, as I left the date of the toothless-maybe-pirate who laughed at me turned at said "I hope you find Johnny Depp." Which I took as come back soon city slicker!
