Well, we've been having some chilly temperatures but at least it hasn't been raining like January. It's still warm when you're in the beautiful, sparkling sunshine - making beach days still a very pleasant outing.
Captiva News: The Captiva Community Panel met with LCEC to discuss a solution to the blackouts and brownouts Captiva has been experiencing. The plan is to bury a powerline that has been the source of problems with high winds and a car crash at the end of 2015. Good news for Captiva residents!
