Familes and Fun on Useppa - Pictures and Thoughts by UseppaGin - The best parts of the last two weekends on Useppa were families and friends celebrating the gifts of fellowship. In a world with too much physical and verbal conflict, having lunch on the Collier patio, swimming in the pool, being on a boat, just being together are gifts we don’t take for granted. And on Sunday the Goodies Brigade shared croissants and eclairs from a French bakery on Pine Island with Useppa employees and each other. Families and friends… a 10,000-year-old island tradition.
