Why I Do This: A Note From the Publisher

People sometimes ask if I'm actually a local Southwest Florida boater. Here's a picture of me out in the Wiggins Pass area.

I'm an avid boater and a fisherman who catches whatever swims by. I'm not always proud of the catfish I reel in, but it counts.

I'm also a marketer, and I know how hard it can be for small businesses around here to get their voice out. That's the whole point of this project, to help them do that. There are so many great businesses who are passionate about our hobby and this helps everyone. I'm looking forward to where it's going.
