@Hemingroo awesome interview! I really miss the old stories. I'm kind of wondering if I'm related to you. I'm 53 years old and from naples. My grandfather Harold Daniels built fishing boats where Tin City is in Naples in the 50s and 60s, and I think before that, they were in Fort Myers doing it. I imagine they all intertwine somewhere. Haha Anyway, thank you for your time.

I could sit there and chat with them like they were old friends. Good stories spoken are better then reading them. Thanks for this interview with “ The Outlaw” for a minute I though he was talking about another friend of mine. lol 😂

I walked onto a banana boat from Columbia anxhored five miles from Homeport Marina Palm Harbor on Gulf coast north or Dunedin Fl. in 1978. This boat was loaded with 15,000 pounds of Columbian gold grass. Back then the price on streets for Columbian Gold was $90 per 1/4 pound. Period. And ive seen Coast Guard bust boats out picking up from big boats....the men would toss overboard bales that would wash up on shores. We would be out just before sunrise picking up bales....we called it "Seaweed"... Salty dog taste! That was along Sunset beach to up past Tarpon Springs. Ole man would have bales and bales for free! Gone are the good ole days.....
