FUN FOR ALL AGES
STEP ABOARD with Capt. Ben Marler for a fun and memorable "deep sea fishing voyage" to Destin, Florida's past, and find out what it was really like to grow up in a remote paradise when things were nothing as easy as today. Pick up some uncommon fishing methods that still work. And what made daily faith so important? Come along as his "kids and grandkids" for an awesome experience that will enhance your life, no matter your age. Fascinating historical stories, from local Indians' evidence to capturing WWII German submarine spies right offshore, and sharing a meal with the Doolittle Raiders. Never before seen photographs and secret family recipes from the cupboards of Capt. Ben's Mom and Dad. A treasure for Destin.
