Island Time - Thoughts and pictures by UseppaGin - Families and close friends live on Useppa, visit the island. It’s that time of year to wave goodbyes to those closing their houses, heading north. It’s the time when Florida families come by boat for vacation, or for a long, summer lazy day. Wearing masks and buffs is supported, social distancing encouraged for all. The hugs in these pictures are goodbyes between trusted buddies. Useppa is an island of peace and freedom in the Pandemic but its tranquility is one to respect and treasure, not take for granted.
