Back at the Georgia Boy Charters office, Cindy explained that the “Gypsea II” is her second airboat. “The one I had before was very pretty. It just wasn’t big enough to charter on,” she said. Nodding toward her husband, she added, “Actually he had to fish off of it a couple times because his boat broke down, and he was like, ‘You are trading boats.’ He made me sell it. It was a great starter boat for me.” When asked what words of wisdom she might pass on to future captains, Cindy said, “My advice to people wanting to be a charter captain is to have a job first. Get a career. Don’t rely on captaining for your only income. It doesn’t provide insurance or other benefits.” This married pair of captains make a great team. When they aren’t on charters together, Steve is often found inside their home office, repairing rods, re-spooling lines and fixing her gear. “He’s a big help,” Cindy said.

My initial plan was to spend this week working beside my friend and classmate Tracy Florence at Tracy’s Stop and Go, the mobile food truck business she started after wrapping up a 32-year By Anthony White career at Georgia Pacific in September 2019. I knew Tracy wouldn’t be retired long because she had already told me about her dream of opening a food truck. So, I wasn’t surprised when Tracy’s Stop and Go, located on Foley Road, had its first trial run on Feb. 11, 2020.
