Goodbye to a Bucket

Goodbye to a Bucket

 Many of you know my briefcase is a five gallon bucket. After 12 years and over 2,700 days on the water it was finally time to let the bucket out to pasture. Thoughts of my old bucket include campfires, lightning storms, mircobursts, Everglades, anchores weighed, shells collected, sunsets, moon rises, waterspouts, and last but not least, it kept everything dry for 12 years. Farewell to an old bucket!

I have been a Shelling Guide to Cayo Costa State Park since 1995. Many people know me as the Shelling Guide and Captain with Captiva Cruises over the past 20 years. In 2016 I began solely offering private small boat charters to the islands of Pine Island Sound including Cayo Costa State Park, Cabbage Key, Useppa Island, Pine Island and North Captiva. I am a certified Florida Master Naturalist, licensed USCG Captain, avocational photographer, seashell enthusiast and passionate about the history, people and culture of Southwest Florida, especially Cayo Costa. I volunteer as a member of Friends of Cayo Costa State Park and have great respect for the heritage of Cayo Costa. My goal is to provide guests with an overall experience and appreciation for the waters, islands, shells, plants, marine life, wildlife, history and people of this unique area of Southwest Florida.

    Is there a new bucket? Was there a burial at sea for the old one? 🙂
