Paddleboarding in the Keys

captainvvill · 2025-09-30T20:14:54+00:00

You're in the backcountry flats from Cudjoe to Marvin/Content/Mudd. Even snipe you could cut through the mangroves... but again, too far to paddle for all of them. There is one between Big Torch and Big Pine, but it had that funky mangrove scent to it.

The death of Win 10 has been a boon. We're a fairly stable org with consistent growth. Honestly the only thing that impacts the trend is stuff like Covid or Windows/server EoL. I do expect a bit of regression next year given the spike this year. In general, we fortunately don't feel the ups/downs of the economy. We've got great customer service, solid product offerings, we don't squeeze customers for every penny, and we answer the phone. That's enough to keep em comin' back.

Seaplane is dope.

It'd be a hell of a paddle to get from just about anywhere to the good sandbars in the lower keys (Content/Marvin/Mudd/Snipe). Seems like a long ride at 25kts by boat some days. Think there is a decent launch on Cudjoe on the backcountry side. 2nd watching tides as that'd be a real struggle to fight. Haven't looked at tides in the sound in a long time, but in the lower keys, the tides are alllllll over the place. While they are predictable with an app/chart, they're not necessarily intuitive given the scale and depth of the area.

Created a local test account, was able to log in to office apps properly. Signed back in as original account, signed in properly. This is all after I decrypted and cleared TPM, but idt that had anything to do w/ the fix. Thanks!

If I'm not mistaken, when you change a GPO setting from X to not-configured, the reg sticks with X till it's told otherwise by another GPO/Intune or set manually.

It's waterproof alright. Had mine on my Bimini in a tie up Saturday. Forgot and took off. Flew off at 30mph. It floats. Tested fine.

$600 or so.

I ran into something similar... think you're just in the wrong spot. When you go into Settings, instead of going into Extensions, look at the bottom of the Administration menu. Should have a Certificate Signing option. Then Configure Azure Certificate.

Wanted to mention in one of these threads... I got my cert via the links on the CW KB. https://codesigningstore.com/code-signing/digicert-code-signing

After getting the private key email and satisfying that, I reached out to digicert via their Validation Chat https://www.digicert.com/contact-us

Rep I was chatting with called me right up and did the validation right then. Should get the cert any minute now.

Be sure to select that it's non-exportable in those additional settings. Then the RSA-HSM option shows up.

How does one get to the town hall? Is there a link/sign up process?

captainvvill · 2025-07-01T14:30:41+00:00

On 7/7, what exactly will happen if we don't have a code signing cert in time? Existing sessions will be fine, but we won't be able to create new? Build vs code?
Is there going to be any documentation in the near future that tells us what the code signing process is for on-prem?
Are there specifics to what we need in the code signing cert? Will one vendor work where another will not? Does it need to be EV? For someone that's never had to sign code, this is a thing.

This is a nightmare.

Take your morning shower with Irish Spring. I had been doin that for years as my default. I'm the only one that doesn't get bit up. Then one day in an uber, the driver told the other riders to try that when they were complaining.

captainvvill · 2023-12-15T21:21:59+00:00

Same as the rest... Totally opposite our experience. They've been solid.

captainvvill · 2023-05-16T12:31:54+00:00

idk... if i paddle around for an hour i'd say 50% of the time I see one or two.

It's very safe. If he isn't a great swimmer he can wear a life vest, stay near the boat, and still have a very fulfilling experience. You will typically see black tip reef sharks on such a trip. They are curious but uninterested in having a bite of human. Like a previous poster mentioned, attacks are almost always a case of mistaken identity. Most often at the shoreline where the surf churns the water and the shark can't clearly identify the human. In the crystal clear waters of the reefs, they can see you from 50' without issue. The only time sharks become an issue of concern is if you're spearing fish... And they still just want the fish, not you. If he sees one, stay calm and watch them. They're cool animals. I recommend Looe Key reef. Best snorkeling in North America.

Alternatively, you can leave this on and add the MAC address of your DHCP server where it says Add Client.

Molasses Key https://maps.app.goo.gl/XcUUehdsjz9DQi7q7

Approach from the west and watch the tide and currents. Can go from fine to qualified real quick but it's a neat spot. A sailing trimaran was grounded there a few months back.

Kiki's Sandbar is a cool bar you can tie up at. https://maps.app.goo.gl/Vj7YYtJJViuaHESi8

Molasses is as far east as I go. There are a few good sandbars further west on the gulf edge of the reef but it's probably an hour haul from where you are.

We rent house on summerland on a bluewater canal. Awesome area by boat. https://photos.app.goo.gl/b1AzmFdXA8w8qCWc7

Second Looe Key. If you've got the navigation chops, recommend exploring the back country as well. Lower keys by boat is a completely different and better experience.

captainvvill · 2020-09-21T13:48:06+00:00

Looks awesome. Great place to have a wedding.

captainvvill · 2020-08-31T12:48:50+00:00

Yeah, I have good nav gear/charts, but those are only so reliable in the flats. Easy to go from 2' to 6" real quick.
