The captains on the commercial boats always have some interesting stories to tell, and there are some very colorful characters to be found. The more adventurous may book a reef or backcountry trip from the charter boats, while others may elect to browse thru Joe O'Connell's incredible Art and Antiques Gallery, truly the most spectacular on the island, (by appointment only 305-304-0524). Quite often you will find local artist Tobias McGregor relaxing on the guitar or keyboards, or putting some finishing touches on one of his Key West paintings. I love the shrimp boats paintings; they're just so real. He has CDs available for $12 (Toby at 305-292-8364) if you want to take a bit of Key West back home with you. At the end of the dock, past the custom woodworking and cabinet shops you will find Michael Martin, Coppersmith, and along the way you will see numerous examples of his handiwork, along with an assortment of dogs, cats, iguanas, ospreys, and manatees. His skill is limited only by your imagination. It's fun to check out.
