22. My Father lived on a sail boat in Pompano when I first moved to Fla.

He sold the boat and then bought a "pool home" in Ft Laud.. His term not mine... I worked in a bunch of hospitals in So Fla as a Radiology Tech.. I had way too much fun down there.,.
So Fla in the 80's was CRAZY and I went along for the ride..

Yes, you guys name the time/place and I'll be there. Everglades City has some nice outdoor restaurants I've been to. Just a bit west of Naples off of route 29 and the tamami trail/SR41
When the shrimp are running I got some of the best gulf pinks right off the boat!!
