This idea was talked about 20 to 25 years ago by some big guys with black suites and bent noses in Jacksonville, Florida. I was there! They had all the plans for a passenger ferry system and for a vehicle ferry system similar to those used in New England to Newfoundland and other places. They had all the money lined up and the ships too. I took one look and asked a few simple questions. 1. Who in their right mind would travel 150 miles from Miami to Key West to get on a ferry to go to Cuba when you can fly there in an hour? 2. Who would spend all that money to drive their car and back? 3. What insurance company would take the chance to insure my vehicle in a Communist country? 4. If I just walked on the ferry, who do I rent a 1953 Chevy from in Cuba? DEM GUYS threw the papers straight up and I quietly walked out the door! Let’s spend more tax payers monye to do a million dollar study on this OK?
