Windy weather on Pine Island

I rode my bike up to the Bokeelia fishing pier on Charlotte Harbor this morning.  Despite gusty winds (15-20 mph) fisherman were getting ready to go out, after casting for bait with their cast nets.

Then, on the way back, riding down the country roads of Bokeelia, our "out back", I ran into a few loose red hen, or rather roosters I should say.  These photos capture the eclectic nature of Pine Island, a rural island by the sea.  About half the land on Pine Island is zoned agricultural, so you can keep chickens and goats and horses and honey bees and cows, etc. if you choose agricultural property.  Being an island, you are never more than 2 miles from the sea, in this case Charlotte Harbor, San Carlos Bay, Matlacha Bay and Pine Island Sound.  So, Pine Island is a surf and turf kind of place.  For more info about Pine Island real estate, contact me, Erika Foye, Real Estate Broker for All Island Realty, Inc., at erikafoye@embarqmail.com
