Cruising with Carter

photos and story by Useppa Gin

Captiva Cruises donated a sunset boat ride to the 2014 Fire Department Fund Raiser.  The successful bidders were Tim and Judith Sear.  Part of the equation satisfied, they only needed a reason to celebrate.  Old Timer and old time Useppan Carter Bacon turned 90.  What better way to observe such a momentous occasion than cocktails, a toast, and good friends aboard ship?

Thank you to Captiva Cruises, the Fire Department, the Sears, and Useppa's oldest resident, Carter Bacon.  Besides Carter, guests of honor included his long suffering, I mean, devoted wife, Mary, and his son Eric.

Happy Birthday to the Wizard!  Until next year and 91.
