As neighboring Sea Tow Franchises Big Bend and Port St. Joe in Florida celebrate milestone anniversaries, there’s one thing that is certain, COVID-19 has changed their business more than anything they have experienced in their combined 35 years of service.
Capt. Joel Singletary, owner of Sea Tow Big Bend, has seen the sun rise more this year than he can ever
remember. It’s not uncommon for Capt. Joel to already be in his truck at 4 a.m. headed to either Rock Landing
Marina in Panacea, Fla. or Shields Marina in St. Marks, Fla., where he keeps several of his boats. This isn’t the
typical routine for the captain who is celebrating his 15th year in business, but in the past six months it has
become his routine.
