"I knew that I had been nominated the last two years, but not this year," she said. "So, yes, it was a surprise. I had been invited to offer the invocation that evening, but really had no idea there was another purpose for my attendance."

The sight of Sail Honeymoon's colorful kayaks against the blue sky has become a landmark along the Dunedin Causeway
Editor's Note: Patch profiles the recent winners of Dunedin Chamber of Commerce's business of the year honors. Glen Steinke, owner of Sail Honeymoon kayak and sailboat rentals on the Dunedin Causeway, is living the dream life of a modern-day beachcomber that many people had when they relocated to Florida.
