Guest Blogger - Heeeeeeer's Bob...............







It was just one of many typical SW Florida days:

1) Fancy orange fishing gloves $17.00
2) Grouper & shark bait $12.50
3) A tornado waterspout racing for your boat trying to kill you $PRICELESS

We went far out in the Gulf Saturday early am, when it got light the fishing exploded. A fish on every drop, hit the Red Grouper limit (one keeper per angler) in 30 minutes. Shark, Snapper, tons of Grouper, everything was awesome until I looked up & saw a tornado waterspout. We yanked the hook & ran for shore, we made it with just a little excitement.

Got back to the house, changed my underwear, filleted the Groupers & had a great dinner that fed a bunch of people.
It was all worth it!



We were 15 miles sw of Sanibel Is. I was with Steve & Jimmy. Jimmy is always with me when I have near death fishing experiences....interesting.....he does have a vowel at the end of his last name...

Leaving for Home


We are in the process of packing up to go home. It has been a wonderful trip. I thought a week would be too long, but we really didn't get to do as much as we thought we would. I guess we can save those things for next time.
I really enjoyed snorkling and taking some great pictures the most. The sailing was great too. Hanging on the deck with Steve and Tina was nice too, what a view!! These pictures are from St. John. We took the car over on the ferry, There is a great National Park where we hung out on the beach and snorkled a little.

This is Bob waiting for the Ferry to take us back to St. Thomas.
