“KAYAK TOM” LIEBERT TO RETIRE, KAYAK CEDAR KEYS TO STAY

August 24, 2019

Having created Kayak Cedar Keys and after sixteen years of helping adventurers enjoy the Gulf waters, Tom Liebert will retire. Liebert, now 76, said, “Those kayaks are getting heavier.” At the August 20, 2019, City Commission Meeting, Vice-Mayor Colson thanked Liebert for his years of assisting city efforts.

Liebert offered kayaks for the city’s participation in the International Coastal Clean Up effort for many years. Daily, he cares for the beach. Annually he performs as Santa Clam, delighting area kids who tell him of their Christmas wishes. Liebert has done much more that is not noted here. Liebert’s street map of Cedar Key and the adjacent waters is a masterpiece of accuracy and utility and is more frequently used than other area maps. Liebert offers his maps at no cost. The audience applauded Liebert.

Liebert requested that the commissioners transfer his outside Marina dock to the two purchasing his business, Dell and David Weibel.

Hopefully, Cedar Key will still see much of Tom...just not working so hard.
