since they are not yet allowed on the island.

I wonder if it is possible for residents to access the island by boat, or are the fedgov goons preventing this also?

Sanibel is being opened to residents this am. Captiva is still closed to all, but may have limited access tomorrow.

And yes, you could not access by boat, either. They had all sorts of agencies out there turning people away.

In all honesty, it is probably a good policy. Sanibel's and Captiva's policy has always been that the islands would not be opened until they were safe. If they are going to close the islands, they need superior security to keep looters off as well, particularly since these islands are playgrounds for the very wealthy.
