Hello everyone I am Rex Blanton.Owner And operator of Alaqua Adventures LLC AKA Zacks Place.a small Seasonal BNB with 3 small cottages on Alaqua Creek in Freeport Florida. we have or will have boat , kayaks and conoe rentals and great fishing spots all the way to the Choctahachee BayI have been working on this project for the past 5 years after the loss of my 20 y o son in a car wreck I needed something to give myself some sort of direction or meaning back into my life. I almost didn’t make it . my x wife didn’t sadly.My oldest son moved with his wife and the grand babies 7 years ago.He understandably needed a change of scenary.However they are coming back home at the end of the month.i am so exited.
Its been a long hard road for everyone.with one set back after another .including 2 Hurricans and a devastating flood.But when you live on the water in Florida you are going to have hurricanes and floods.But you don’t expect to have every thing you have been working towards to be taking from you by a bunch of sorry low lives that are to lazy to work and not smart enough to be theivs.Greed got two of them caught.LMAO Taking myb kayaks and pongtoon boat and breaking into my shop taking every tool I owned and kicked the door in on all three cottages and destroying the ignition key switch in all three of my trucks (one didn’t even run.not very smart theivs)trying to steal them .but that wasn’t enough.they came back for the rest of the boats.after wrecking one in the drive way,wich is 800 ft to the road .blocking the road preventing them from getting the remaining boats .they cut the controllers and wires unbolted the motors and were loading them in their truck.When they were enturupted by my life long friend who managed to keep one of them their until the police arrived .The other one was aprehided a couple days later after finding his cell phone in the bag of tools he was using to steal the boat motors.Now I have no working boats to rent.And I am still working on the cottages that were vandalized and the tourist season has already started and I don’t see how I will recovery this time so I am reaching out for any help I may be able to get because I am simply out of options.I know this reads like a sad country song.And god knows I wish it were just that.But such is life,I am a enternal optamust and and I have faith in my fellow humans and refuse to allow life to make me bitter.And I will still be able to enjoy my oldest son and his children.I have really missed that in my life.
