As our tourist season starts up, folks from the north are coming down, especially after this massive cold front the country just experienced. I was able to get out before the cold weather with one of my regulars, Tom O…
Last week Hurricane Ian came to town. Marco Island dodged a bullet, but the folks north of us, unfortunately, did not. I believe Marco suffered more from wind during Irma, in 2017, than this time, although there are some reports…
