It was the Winn Dixie and he said it was about 2 miles. We were in the Municipal Marina though, and not at Tiger Point. You are limited as to what you can carry unless you have a cart. He's also biked out there. He said he could only get halfway there just before the heart attack. He used to take a bike and go to the market in Marathon, and he had a carrier on the back of the bike. Although in Marathon, we would rent a car about once a month and make a run to the commissary in Key West. Or he walk to the store and take a cab back. He also walked to the market from Queenstown, and in Belhaven. He used to do a lot of walking. >----- Original Message ----- >From: "Rosalie B." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[email protected]> >Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2008 4:58 PM >Subject: Re: [Liveaboard] March 11th - Belt and Sospenders,plus >the kindness of strangers > > >> On Tue, 17 Jun 2008 15:13:11 -0400, you wrote: >> >>>Skip Gundlach wrote: >>>> March 11th - Belt and Sospenders, plus the kindness of >>>> strangers >>>> >>>> >>>> However, Fred's is more like a mini-WalMart, with a small >>>> freezer >>>> section and an equally sparse dry or boxed foods section. >>>> When we >>>> asked one of the customers there about how to find fresh >>>> food, >>>> the mall on the outskirts of town was the closest chance.
