    Seen this on FB. What an awesome way to spend the summer. Hanging with an older gentleman, fishing LOTW’s. Bet he’s got some good stories! This would be great for a newly retired couple or maybe a teenager who isn’t wrapped up in their phone! This might be this dudes last summer on the island? Hope they find a good person for him!

    Dang that’s awesome. Wish I didn’t work. This is how a long lasting relationship is built. And has the potential to benefit a actual good person

    That is way cool. I wish I had a opportunity like that when I was younger. I sure hope he finds the right person and has a Great summer in his home / Cabin. At 82 years old he probably doesn’t have many summers remaining able to do this.

    If my son wasnt so busy with his friends and sports Id send him up there. Heck maybe he and a buddy could do it.

    Perfect for the remote worker. I wonder if my wife would miss me.

    I would do this in a heart beat if he gets decent internet so I could work remotely but the significant other would kill me. Damn her haha

    Sounds like a plot to a good movie that I would definitely watch.

    Flag Island isn’t LA. A couple of phone calls should get you all the information about the guy you would need.

    My point is there are very few people there, everybody knows everybody and will know if they have a nut case among them.
