"Trapped in Key West is drawn from my memories of a lifetime spent living, working, and playing around my island home. It is not intended to be a historical account, or even biographical, but rather to offer a glimpse of island life that could not be experienced by visitors or latter-day residents. The stories and recollections are meant to convey a picture of the non-tourist side of Key West, and reveal a family side to commercial fishing. It is also a story about my father (pictured on the cover) and the large presence he was in the life of our family. With the exceptions of a few names that have been changed and some details that have been left out to save embarrassment, everything in the book is true to the way I remember it. - Peter M. Bacle" - from the Preface. "Author Peter M. Bacle grew up in the world of Key West commercial fishing. As Key West developed in to a major tourist destination, Pete fished for lobster and stone crab, cruised the Caribbean, survived numerous confrontations with drug smugglers, adapted to the influx of refugees from Cuba, and relaxed with family and friends on secluded islands and beaches. Pete's Key West may live in the shadow of Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, but for native families, the schools, churches, ball fields, and surrounding sea are where they find their pleasures. The author's father, Pete C. Bacle - pictured on the cover - is central to many of the stories in the book. Pete Sr. went to sea at the age of fifteen, and founded the family fishing business. He was an adventure seeker, who fought naval battles in WWII, fished the distant Dry Tortugas and Bahama waters, searched for sunken treasure, battled trap robbers and drug smugglers, and still found time for his family. Pete loved the ocean, and always believed that earning a living from the sea in Key West was a privileged life that few people would trade. Peter Bacle's stories are now part of Key West's past, but Stock Island Lobster Company is little changed by time. The Bacle family still buys, sells, and catches lobster, and life continues today much as it has for the past 60 years." - from the inner front jacket flap.
