These pictures were taken in Gasparilla Island, near Boca Grand Pass. The tatered building is part of the Whidden Marina, founded in 1926. I landed my water filled boat at this marina last year with a 28 inch gash in the hull. It was a real life-saver for us as we had no intention of swiming with the sharks at Boca Pass. This past week I rode my bike on the West side of the Island for about 3 miles on the beach and about 17 additional miles on the Island.
