Spring Sunset Cruise

A Spring Sunset Cruise: It Doesn’t Get Any Better

The ticket to board the Lady Chadwick was a silver platter of hors d’oeuvres. Tropical music, sunset colors, cocktails, and a leisurely boat ride just off Useppa.

Thanks to Paul McCarthy and Captiva Cruises for donating the cruise. Thanks to the Useppa Museum 2015 Fund Raiser. And…thanks to Carter and Mary Bacon who made us all welcome.

Schlepping: People, Luggage and Groceries

April, that time of year when good-byes, suitcases, and groceries fill the Island launches with passengers. Arms are either lugging or hugging. Good-byes are said at Useppa’s Marina. Suitcases carried on are carted off on the mainland. Bags loaded at Bocilla are unloaded on Useppa. Captains Ken, Dane, Tony, and Jeff keep the boats on schedule. Travis and Tom are the Useppa/Bocilla links to the rest of the world.

 Spring on Useppa… blooming Yellow Tabebuia trees, Golf Croquet, Spring Break grandchildren, boating, overnights in the Marina, Gator Bob, a busy staff, family reunions, and visits to the Grotto….
