Nellen- I went on line and perused your island- found a couple of houses I liked for sale. Yes we are much smaller. 2400 acres all total. In the old days it was a vibrant community with a general store, PO, church, and even a hotel. Had the steamers dropping by to collect the oranges grown and to pick up and disembark passengers. We do have a ferry of sorts. Only runs 2 hrs in the morning and afternoon on 2 days- it's pretty useless. We had 6 day a week service until the environmentalists decided we don't need service. Most of our transport is by our own vessel. Our taxes are outrageous and we have to pay an additional $800 a year for trash pick up and we get no other services from the county. Florida is one of the most corrupt states when it comes to government and the county I live in is the poster child.
