I was going back for more when I got pointed to <a href=\"http:\/\/http:\/\/www.tonyschowder.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tony&#8217;s <\/a>for their clam chowder, the best in the world.

Two ladies have a canvas bag-making factory called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ckcanvas.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cedar Key Canvas<\/a>. It is totally two ladies that sew the most amazing attractive, useful, and durable bags from coin purses to purses to backpacks to stow bags, must-haves for any of the seagoing types (a lot of them around here) and the fashion-seeking. Best made bags in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The next time I&#8217;m in Florida my trip will require a stop at one of the RV parks in Cedar Key.
