I couldn't agree more. I wonder if DW and BB have a true clue. Perhaps
someday they can afford to vacation for an extended stay in Fl, and get
a glimmer of the true picture. I don't think either of them have a clue.

I've lived in the Tampa Bay area since 1957, Frank. I make my living
on the water, and have for the last 25 years. I think I've got a
pretty good first hand view of the situation.

For the most part, my experience has been anyone, non-military, who
calls themselves "captain", is a joke. You've done your part to
reinforce that opinion.
