Susie K. and Family - North Captiva Island

If you love boating like me, then you must know how fortunate I was last week. I had to create a family portrait on North Captiva Island, It just so happened that my cousin Hannah was visiting from England so she came along with my friend Charlie for the boat ride. It was a windy boat ride on the way up but well worth it. Charlie is a great friend that owns a vacation rental company called 'Osprey Villas' check them out online. Especially if you are a boater, all of the rentals come with Hurricane boats (www.ospreyvillas.com) In fact, Lori and I, had 18 family members stay at one of his houses last Thanksgiving. And I can say first hand it was outstanding.Now if you are ever lucky enough to go to North Captiva by boat (or Upper Captiva, as some people call it) you will probably be heading to Safety Harbor. When you pull into Safety Harbor there are three different places to stop, 'Barnacle Phil's Harbor' which is part of Barnacle Phil's Restaurant, 'Over the Waterfront' (also a restaurant) or the 'Yacht Club' (which I believe is private) make sure you have the right spot, as all are a fair distance from each other by foot. Like a lot of the Barrier Islands, navigation can be tricky getting in and out so a GPS or Chart is definitely recommended.Anyway here are a couple of images from the evening along with an image of 'yours truly' in action taken by my Cousin Hannah.http://barnaclephilsoutpost.com/index.phphttp://www.overthewaterfront.com/
