Good article Matt. What a cool place that is.

Also, I didn’t know Brandon had a 28 now. Does he no longer have the red 368 skater?

Thanks for the kind words. I believe Mr. Burgess has both boats. :)

Cape Coral/Ft. Myers seems to have become the LOTO of the South. Lots of good guys to run with. Looking forward to a couple weekends with everyone on that side of the state in Feb. and March.

We really enjoyed owning on a canal (we had houses on Delano and Del Rio Courts in the Yacht Club area) in CC from 2016 till 2022. It was when all of the crap came down the river with its nasty stench, killing tons of fish and birds that we decided to pull out. There were times that this brown, crappy water would extend up past the power lines, and down past the Sanibel lighthouse and even past Ft Myers Beach. Frankly, I got nervous that if the slowly developing ecological disaster got out, values would plummet. Since then we have visited southeast Florida many times. They really need to get the water quality problem figured out, but Big Sugar is in the way. It could be so beautiful with clean water.
