This is my little patch, usually in the part that says 1-2 feet or
less ;-)
It tends to keep the crowds out
checked your website. looks like a pretty cool place to vote..
If you like looking at lots of estuary wildlife in one of the few
unspoiled estuaries in the country, Estero bay is a pretty cool place.
That is why I moved here
Don't know if you've ever heard of Useppa Island, which is down south of you. That island played a
role in the series of books I'm about to finish. The series is historical fiction, but the role
played by the island, a home for union sympathizers during the Civil War, was factual.
The series is the 'Honor' series by Robert N. Macomber. A fun read.

Useppa is actually north of me but I am familiar with it. Cabbage Key
is up there too, great place for lunch and a walk around. There are a
few other "boat only" islands in that area and one that also has a
little airport for the filthy rich. (upper Captiva)
That is up near Boca Grande pass where you see a lot of those tarpon
fishing shows. They fish the drift in rows of boats that do a dance,
alternating from the front to the back of the pack as they drift out
of the pass. As long as everyone follows the rules it is pretty
orderly. I have been in that zoo a couple if times on my Pine Island
friend's boat.
Now I understand. When you mentioned Estero Bay, I thought that's where you were located. This old
age is a bitch!
Hell, I thought he said "Estrogen Bay."
Why did you think that?
Perhaps because the word 'Estero' is somewhat close to 'Estrogen'? Perhaps because he was being a
tad humorous? Perhaps so I wouldn't feel so ****ing stupid for the location errors I made with
regard to Greg and Useppa Island.
In any case, what ****ing difference does it make?
It was a deliberate malaprop on my part, poking a little fun at the
place name.
