south Florida refugees, stay away.

Some southern hospitality that is.

On a boating topic, I took my Tolman Skiff over to Dog Island today
from Carabelle, beautiful water, hardly anybody around, it was
wonderful. However, the sight of the damned condos that have been
built on the old boat yard and my favorite oyster bar makes me realize
it wont be long befoe its ruined.

Probably last longer than SW Florida. My first trip down there was in
'78. Real pretty. Cape Coral had @25k people, Pine Island was
undeveloped, and fishing was terrific from bridges, canal banks, and
boats. By '85 it was all a mess, and I never went back.
What you need down there is about 5 years of heavy hurricanes to turn
those condos into reefs and clean out them Yankee carpetbaggers.
Al Gore just might have something in mind to take care of that.
Looks like he's already set fire to the place.
