If you’re wondering how a David Allan Coe song lyric ties into a blog post about the Salty Crab, a beach bar in Ft. Myers Beach, Florida, you’ll have to read this entertaining story from Jim Greer to find out. As always, Jim keeps us entertained until the very end. “This is what you do.

Looking for a good beach bar to visit while in Bequia in St. Vincent and the Grenadines? According to Ian Corks, head to the water (and on/over it) to find one of the most unique bars on the island.

Most of us have had moments like the one described in Jim’s story and some of us have probably experienced them at a beach bar.

Sometimes out of devastation comes opportunity and Dany wasted no time in bringing back that old-time...
