🚨 ENVIRONMENTAL ALERT:

55-Foot Yacht Sinks in Key Largo, Spilling Diesel
A major environmental incident is unfolding at the Key Largo Harbor Marina today after a 55-foot Viking convertible fishing yacht capsized and sank, threatening local waters with a massive fuel leak. The situation escalated quickly this Wednesday, December 10, when the partially submerged vessel began spewing diesel into the canal, creating a visible rainbow slick and heavy fumes throughout the marina.

The disaster appears to be the result of a maintenance overhaul gone wrong. According to salvage reports, the yacht began listing on Tuesday after its heavy engine block was removed and placed on the back deck. The displaced weight proved too much for the vessel to handle, causing it to eventually roll onto its port side and sink.

Captain Johnny Guzman of TowBoat US has warned that the boat, which was holding approximately 1,500 gallons of diesel, is likely to release its entire fuel load into the water.

Emergency crews are currently racing to contain the damage. The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is on the scene, and containment booms have been deployed around the crash site to try and stop the slick from spreading out to the Atlantic.

Compounding the tragedy is the revelation that the vessel is reportedly uninsured, leaving the owner personally liable for the massive costs of the hazardous cleanup and the complex salvage operation.

🌅 Running the Gap:
The 15th Annual Key Largo Bridge Run is Underway!

Good morning, Florida Keys! If you noticed a little extra energy on the 18-Mile Stretch this morning, it’s because the 15th Annual First State Bank Key Largo Bridge Run is officially taking over the Jewfish Creek Bridge!

Hundreds of runners and walkers hit the pavement at 7:30 a.m. today, trading the usual car traffic for sneakers and sunrise views.

Participants in the 10K and 5K are currently making the climb up the 65-foot soaring concrete span, getting a rare, slow-motion look at the stunning panoramic views of Blackwater Sound and Manatee Bay.

It’s hard to believe this tradition started just over a decade and a half ago to celebrate the completion of this modern engineering marvel.

For us locals, the bridge symbolizes more than just a roadway; it replaced the old drawbridge that used to bottleneck traffic for miles, marking a new era for entering our island chain.

Today, it serves as the perfect vantage point for one of the most scenic races in Florida.
But the sweat and early wake-up call are about more than just a medal. This event is a massive win for our Upper Keys community. Proceeds from today’s run go directly back into our backyard, supporting vital local organizations like TIPS (Teen Intervention and Prevention Services), the Key Largo School, and our local Rotary Clubs.

It is a fantastic way to support local youth and education while enjoying the natural beauty of the gateway to the Keys.

To everyone out there conquering the bridge this morning, congratulations! You couldn't ask for a better backdrop.
