Summer Sunshine and Smiles – Thoughts and Pictures by UseppaGin – It was a quiet weekend with Island neighbors and friends enjoying their time on Useppa. During the week the Service Department and the Fire Department coordinated a controlled burn of landscaping debris. The Pink Path sidewalk improvements continued. And the best news is that the iconic Pink Path Banyan Tree is being trimmed and treated to prolong its life. To Useppa it’s not just a tree. It’s a symbol of past and present, a well-loved backdrop in hundreds of family photos. Children once held on its branches are now parents holding their own children smiling at the camera. Useppa recovery from Ian continues. Even the Banyan Tree is smiling.

Hot Weather Warm Smiles 2024
Hot Weather, Warm Smiles – Thoughts and Pictures by UseppaGin – Summer on Useppa is hot weather and warm smiles with some rain and storms added for excitement. It’s a time when mainland members pack up their boats and bring family and friends out for lunch on the Collier patio, an afternoon at the pool, cool drinks and conversation in the Tarpon Bar by the Marina. During the week only a few lucky people are on the island. Homeowners and visitors feel like Useppa belongs just to them. Summer …. one more island gift.
Tropical Storm Debby on Useppa
Tropical Storm Debby on Useppa: Before, During, and After – Pictures and Thoughts by UseppaGin – Cleanup is still going on, but the water is back on, roadways are clean, and the high tides and high winds only memories. There are damages that still need repair, but the smiles before Debby and the smiles after show nothing can stop Island life. Pictures show bits of the storm on Useppa, but only one week later and all is good. Thumbs Up Useppa!!!!!
