Very pleasant stay at Little Gull and didn't see any no see ums. Worst I ever ran into those was on Edisto Island. They came right through the screens and we had to constantly dose with bug spray.

It was quite chilly the first 3 or 4 days of our week, but the second part of the week was glorious. I left home at 6 degrees with frozen pipes, so even the cooler weather was a major improvement. The cold spell at home was the worst since sometime in the 80s.

I do not own here but do own at a resort managed by the same company (CPMC) so we get the same newsletters. We got an email this morning that Longboat Key is going to auction off close to 50 units for outstanding maintenance fees on March 1st. I wonder what is going on that they have so many units go to auction. Our home resort in St. Augustine normally has just a few each year. The maintenance fees on even the 2 bedroom units is less than $1000./yr.

If we didn't have our Florida condo to spend more winter months in, I would be very tempted to go after one of those units. I love that area.

If you note the date on the post the auction was a year ago. You could contact Cunningham Property Management to see if they have any remaining units for sale. I know there are a few for sale at our resort in St. Augustine Beach.
