The Connect! video clip for cabbage key messes up after 2 minutes and 23 seconds. The entire image goes grey. The 14mb downloaded version indicates that the runtime for the full clip should be 5 minutes and 36 seconds.
Otherwise, the video is most enjoyable.
Writer/Producer: Chelle Koster Walton In the 1930s, Mary Roberts Rinehart, an important mystery novelist of the era and a visitor at Useppa Island’s Izaak Walton Club, bought the nearby 100-acre island of Cabbage Key as a wedding present for her son. Just across the channel from Useppa, Cabbage Key’s historic inn also perches on an Indian shell mound, but there the similarities end. Cabbage Key Inn, built by Rinehart, is all about simplicity and ease with its six simple inn rooms, six cottages, and a beer-guzzling, truth-stretching attitude of fun. What’s there to do on Cabbage Key besides eat, drink, fish, sleep, repeat? Not much -- and that’s how islanders and guests love it.
