MANATEE STATUES

Jo at Coquina Beach

Here's Jo-Ann and I at Holmes Beach

We came across this medivac chopper on the way to Holmes Beach. There is a boat launch to the right and I suspect someone probably had a heart attack while out fishing.

Here's some people fishing at Emerson Pt. a short drive from the house. I think you can see the Sunshine Skyway Bridge in the background

Hang on there's a storm coming to Holmes Beach

This car was parked beside us in the beach parking lot and was literally held together with duct tape! I guess there's no such thing as safety standards in Fla.
