COWPENS, a momentary haven!


As mentioned in the previous post, this is Cowpens, a cut that connects Key Largo to Islamorada. Roland stopped on the way home to put in a much needed second reef. Note: Historically, Cowpens got it's name from the fact that this cut was used to trap Manatees for slaughter, by the Railroad men during the settling of the Keys. The Manatees, used as a food source, were easy to capture as they are slow and very docile.
