I want to join the Useppa Island PIGGs club, but I'm not previously important, geriatric, or, really, a gentleman. Is there some kind of waiver?

The Connect! video clip for cabbage key messes up after 2 minutes and 23 seconds. The entire image goes grey. The 14mb downloaded version indicates that the runtime for the full clip should be 5 minutes and 36 seconds.

Otherwise, the video is most enjoyable.

I moved to the island when I was 28 after searching all throughout Florida, the Carolinas, and the Caribbean. It is hard to find a place more beautiful and peaceful than North Captiva. The island has just the right mix of beach life and resort amenities & activities, so you feel like you are on vacation every day. The community on North Captiva is just as special as the island itself... lot of wonderful people. If you would like to see more info about the island, visit www.northcaptiva.net.

I sailed to the area in 1980 from Rhode Island and called Captiva and Sanibel my home for over 9 years.

Then I sailed around the world and saw many beautiful places. When I returned to the states in 1997 I decided to make North Captiva my home. I would not want to be anywhere else in the world as none compare.

The island isn't for everyone but it is certainly for me.

I was thrilled to see you on TV last Sunday night on Channel 3, and must have your autograph. Paul, if you win a race, we'll take up a collection for a new hat.

My husband and I, who have lived on Upper Captiva for the past 12 years, just watched your clip about the island and enjoyed it very much. Like many others, we wear many hats: the Upper Captiva Community Chapel meets in our home and Bob is the pastor, we are volunteer sea turtle monitors, volunteers with the U.C. Fire Dept., participate in Book Club, Yoga, SING (a group of singers that also meets in our home), and U.C. Civic Association. And what a beautiful setting in which to do it all!

I have been working for the NORTH CAPTIVA ISLAND CLUB for the past 8 years in reservations. Originally from Germany I found paradise. The daily commute by boat from the mainland is the most enjoyable part of the entire day. Being in touch with nature from sunrise to sunset, sharing this paradise with the dolphins, white and brown pelicans, manatees, ospreys and numerous wading birds and of course our temporary visitors from all parts of the world.

This is the finest island in the United States, other than Hawaii. We enjoy quiet, no cars, only golf carts on a great sand roadway. Good people live here and care for each other. Please don't tell anyone.

I just had the opportunity to watch your N Cap film. As a winter resident I can tell you that all that was said is true. There is no other place in Florida where I would consider living. Where else could you walk on the beach for hours and hardly see a soul. I'm closer to nature and peace here than anywhere else.
