Last Sunset of 2011

A gorgeous Key West sunset.

By Shayne Benowitz

Anyone who knows me knows that New Year’s Eve is my favorite holiday. They would also know that I think a Key West sunset is one of the most beautiful sights a person can witness.

These amazing boats zoomed around us at speeds up to 100 miles per hour.

Although some of our loyal Fury fans might consider the men and women of the Fury crew heroes at the reef, it’s not every day that a true American hero graces us with his presence. If you’ve watched the news lately, you’ve probably seen that President Obama awarded the national Medal of Honor to a Marine sergeant on September 15, 2011. That sergeant is Dakota Meyer, a 23 year-old from Kentucky, and veteran of the Iraq War and the War in Afghanistan.

Jeff & his family sunset sailing.

By Shayne Benowitz
