Placida, Florida

There is a cute little area that has fishing boats and stores right before you make the turn to go to Boca Grande, FL. It is in a town called Placida. Small but enjoyable.

Shells from Boca Grande, Florida

Permission to come aboard?

We were out boating in the Gulf around Boca Grande, FL when a Zodiac watercraft came flying towards us with a blue light flashing. Now I had seen the Coast Guard cutter anchored so I assumed they were after some drug smugglers or evil doers. Nope they came right up to us. They were down from St. Petersburg and just checking out things in the Gulf.

They did a safety inspection, made sure we had enough live vests for everyone

on board. They were really nice, knowledgable fun guys.

Here's lookin at you
