Speaking of Feathers - A Favorite Love Story(Sarasota, Florida)
It is wonderfully told by local people, that when the waters of Sarasota Bay are rough, to this day you can see the feathered bonnets of the 100 braves within the rolling white caps. It is a favorite story in this region, particularly the courage of the hundred warriors. It makes it hard to remember that Sarasota Bay, named like the region for the maiden, is on average 3 to 5 feet deep. But then, who's counting?
