I love coming home from the boat show, dumping the bag of loot on the countertop, and sorting through it like Halloween candy....

I'm proud to say that I have a published article in the Naples Florida Weekly newspaper! They published it exactly the way I wrote it, so they must've liked the writing. It's based on my Florida Panther sighting when out doing a charter here. There are estimated to be 160 wild Panthers in the entire state, and according to an ecologist at the Florida Wildlife Commission, the last time one was witnessed in this area of Rookery Bay/Naples/Marco Island was 10 years ago. I saw one three weeks ago and it became big news! Click the link for the article....
