SHRIMPERS

Scott and Phyllis did some shrimping with Pat and I last night and all we caught were these two shrimp. We went out early but the tide was not cooperating. Friday is the full moon, watch out.

CAPTAIN MILTON OLIVEIRA

Today we put our friend Milton's ashes in Tavernier Creek, a place he always loved, right in the spot he caught his first Snook. A lot of nice things were said about Milt, but there could never be enough nice things to say about him. His life long friend Glenn Warrington gave the eulogy.  Goodbye Milton, we will miss you.

Captain Milton Oliveira RIP
