1. How long is Seven Mile Bridge?

2. Is Jimmy Buffet playing at Margaritaville tonight?

3. Can you snorkel under the island?

4. Do you need a passport to visit the Conch Republic?

5. Does the sun always set on this side of the island?

6. It says sunset is at 8. We have dinner reservations then. Is there a later one?

To a bartender or server-"Do you live here?"

"What keeps the island attached to the bottom?"

"Which way is the ocean?"

"How far is it between mile markers?"

btw, the 7 mile bridge is actually 6.92 miles (as personally measured with a GPS), but "The six and ninety-two hundredths mile bridge" was too long for the little green sign.

I met a gal once who worked at the welcome center in Big Pine.

She said that a daily question there was "how long till we get to the Keys?"

Please tell me you guys are making up the question about the sunset.

The most common ones I hear up here:

Is there anything to do here?

How much farther to the Keys?

Are there sharks in the water?

We were there for New Years Eve and wanted to book a 'Sunset Cruise' - I said to hubby "can we go on the one before midnight?" Er, Yes!!!!

I was on a charter one time and the mate said he no longer points out flying fish.

Too many people would look skyward and say "where I don't see it"

LMAO about the flying fish!! Thats a good one!

Another one I would get occasionally was "Are there any local vineyards on Key West"

Oh yes. My favorite.

"Are their sharks in the water?"

On Danger Charters I hear this question - honestly - once every three trips.

I reply by way of explanation that...

"We have a very proactive Chamber of Commerce which has an agreement with all of the sharks. They ARE permitted in the water but ONLY between the agreed upon hours of 11PM and 6 AM."

I love this question! "Are there sharks in the water?" ROFL!
