AWARD CITATION
AUGUST 18, 2004
The Florida Keys Council For People With Disabilities is pleased to present its
A ward for outstanding service to people with disabilities to Michael 'Captain
Mick' Nealey. Since 1992, Captain Mick has been instrumental in getting
thousands of disabled persons out on the water. Employing both large 50
passenger catamarans and smaller 6 passenger pontoon boats he has pioneered
techniques for persons with physical disabilities to enjoy the natural wonders of
our South Florida waters. His boats are additionally equipped with platform or
chair lifts. Working with the Florida Disabled Divers and Shake-a-leg
organizations he has enabled many of his passengers to get not only on the
water, but into it. A Key Largo resident, he is also an active board member of the
Centers For Independent Living of the Florida Keys. On behalf of the disabled
citizens of the Florida Keys, this plaque is presented to Capt. Mick Nealey with
sincere gratitude for his dedicated service and innovative leadership.
