I just realized why that looked familiar -- my wife's cousin lives on St. George Island. I haven't been there for several years. Beautiful area. 8)

I was over near there about two weeks ago. Nice area, my niece's wedding on the beach, mucho fun.

Went golfing up at Tyndall AFB, one of the prettiest Florida courses I have been on with Gulf of Mexico views on many holes and a very challenging layout.

Fished a little, but was told the best fishing was a little later in the Spring and Summer.

Pipe, your wife's cousin is very fortunate...we've stayed on St George's Island many times...venturing out from there is when I found CSB(great snorkling for the kids AND ME) ;)...

Steel, in far left of the photo, see a small sliver of a point w/a sand bar extending from it...we were there when armed USAF showed up to tell us we HAD to leave as fly-boys from Tyndall about to take target-practice on drone over area...problem was, I had ferried two SAFE boatloads of inlaws out there...had to scramble and took all 11 on one trip back to Mexico Beach...V20 handled w/no probs... 8)...

The place is great no matter how you go, but w/a boat is ultimate (11 hr tow for me)...Franco, ya'll need to getcha bad selfs on over there...will be a pretty good tow even from Sebastian, I imagine... ;)...

I'll tell you Franco that state just loaded with fishable places. Tell me Bud when you moved to So. Easy St. was it the area the jobs the fishing what was it that put you there and said this is it

When you comin back down RAP? I just heard they are catchin Spanish at St Joe. Water temp here was 67 last weekend so any time now the cobia and spanish will be at Panama City.

Hey Willy, it was the area, this close to miles and miles of fishing. Small town, like I always said, it's like Mayberry with internet and cable. I didn't have a job or even a prospect of a job. Me and my better half said "what the hell,
no balls - no flying medals" . We came down to visit and put a down payment on the property and put our house up for sale. Got lucky all around, got a good job, things worked out. Couldn't be a whole lot better. There is a small labor pool down here, so if you have skills you can make a good living. It pays a little less down here, buts its getting a little better.

Vic, wifey & I been hitched over 17 yrs now...been to ''forgotten'' coast at least once nearly every year, but no plans for '06...goin' to Sun Set Bch, N.C. Apr and Jun...that looks like most of our travel plans for this summer... ;D 8)...

Will definately MISS not gettin' to see CSB this yr... :'( :'(...

[willy]

Gotcha Franco, would you consider secret agent, womanizer fisherman hunter stud marketable skills in Sebastian Inlet. 8)

[Franco]

I KNOW FOR A FACT THAT THERE IS A TREMENDOUS SHORTAGE OF SKILLED PEOPLE FOR THAT JOB HERE IN FLORIDA!

[willy]
