It is very important to remember that many and I mean many maritime laws pertaining to "casual" boating are written from circumstances from boaters within our Florida waters, and these have become representative in many other states.

In a recent post, there was some questions about parking and launching in the Ft Myers area and the costs to leave T&T while cruising. I would like to offer our services to you and yours if your travels bring you this way in the future. I have a large lot behind the house and would be able to...

I sent you an e-mail regarding your Ft Myers trip. Hope this helps. Bob

The one certainty about these "predictions" will be that home owners insurance rates will be affected by this. Our costs continue to rise in Florida, and when these statements are made.....insurers use it to their advantage.

The Commander's Palace Restaurant in New Orleans has THE cookbook for all seafood, and of course the Cajun touches to many of them are exceptional.

If I may add, the greatest asset to any boater is the loss of "EGO" I went on a number of trips with a friend, and he was a guy who would go all out and everyone be damned when he ran his boat. Well his ignorance caught up to him and he lost his boat in bad weather when he told his fishing pals...

Spoke to Pat & Jeff (C-Pearl) yesterday...they were out on the River having way too much fun. Something about a boat full of women and some tasty beverages.....

I have always used Yamalube for my outboards. I currently own my 6th boat and 5 had Yamaha's. Maybe I was lucky, but I have never had any problems related to oil. So I am partial to the Yamalube Product. It does cost the extra .05, but well worth it.

I recently watched "Band of Brothers" and it got me thinking about my Dad, who served in the 2nd Army, 9th Infantry during WW2. He had made a scrapbook of his time during his service, and I found a number of letters home to his Mom & Dad. One of these was dealing with the loss of a close friend...

I have heard many times that when thinking about the size of the boat you want.....STOP and add 20% to the length of what you are thinking!! Good Luck

Looking forward to seeing you when you get into the Ft Myers area. Give me a call and I'll be happy to help out if you guys will need anything during your stop. Enjoy your travels

Dawn & I got to spend the day cruising the Gulf Intercoastal from Ft Myers Beach all the way north to Boca Grande Pass today! Enjoying the great scenes along the barrier islands was great. We have both lived along the Gulf Coast all our lives and it never gets old being out on the water here in...

Just thought I would add that Odyssey Battery's are used by the Coast Guard, according to the web site, www.odysseysoutheast.com Good details, weight, CCA's etc. on site. Certainly an area where you need to always get the BEST available.

Growing up on the West Coast of FL, this story hits very close to the heart. Reading some of the details, I was thinking that being at anchor in 8' swells was unsafe, should they have had a Sea anchor rather than anchoring to bottom? I guess at times like this boaters can learn from accidents...

Reading some recent posts about what makes the "Best" trailer, I would like to give a mention to Boat Master. http://www.boat-trailers.com/ They are located here in Ft Myers, a family run business and great to work with. they build the trailer to fit your boat and needs. I have used them for my...

If you have or need any help with this boat, let me know. I live in Ft Myers and would be happy to help. Also, could also help in getting a boat delivered, always great to have a reason for a road trip!!

Our license costs $17 per year and $2 more for a Snook stamp. If you fish from a pier you do not need one, only when fishing from a private boat. Remember...take a kid fishing!!!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting Capt. John Bunch, who wanted to give back to our service members and their families. WWW.OperationOpenArms.com is a site dedicated to helping those military men and women when home on leave from active duty. On the site you will see many local business'...

Not at all, Greg. Anyone is quite welcome to hang around as long as they heap praise on us and our wonderful boats and don't ever mention whatever other piece of crap they might own. _________________ Wow, must get tough being stuck in the cabin for the long winter!! Somewhere along the way...

Ah, Ft Myers my home town!! There are many great things for boating in this area especially in the winter months. A lot of great short day trips out to the islands and to the Naples area as well. The marina has a very good reputation and it is very reasonable, $28 w/water/elec. for a 25' boat...
