Default Doc Ford's

Bigeasy1,
Doc Ford is the fictional retired CIA/Special Opps guy in Randy Wayne White's books. He is "laying low" down at Dinken's Bay Marina posing as a Marine Biologist and selling a few species he roller trawls up in Pine Island Sound. The problem is the "agency" is always bringing Doc out of retirement to take care of a "special situation" they heve in Columbia, or Panama, or Nicraguara. Doc has a crazy "GFS" sidekick by the name of Tomlinson who lives on a 31 Morgan in the marina where his his lab is.
If you get the Randy Wayne White book "Hunters Moon" the first 1/3 of the book is about the Sanibel/Captiva/Cayo Costa area. Some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
The Florida author Randy Wayne White was a fishing guide for years in that area and deciide to open a couple of resturants to prepare the local seafood with a spalsh of Carribbean and Central American spices. Tack the menu up on the wall and throw a dart at it blindfolded, you wouldn't go wrong.
And here you thought we just knew the difference between Polyester and Vinylester!
