Hot Weather, Warm Smiles - Thoughts and Pictures by UseppaGin - Summer on Useppa is hot weather and warm smiles with some rain and storms added for excitement. It’s a time when mainland members pack up their boats and bring family and friends out for lunch on the Collier patio, an afternoon at the pool, cool drinks and conversation in the Tarpon Bar by the Marina. During the week only a few lucky people are on the island. Homeowners and visitors feel like Useppa belongs just to them. Summer …. one more island gift.
