TREASURE COAST BOATING
LIVING HISTORY
WHITICAR FAMILY

SANDRA THURLOW
Guests at the Sunrise Inn, an exclusive getaway destination for tourists who
enjoyed fishing, often went out on Captain Add’s boat.
“Dad started taking Bonbright out from the Sunrise Inn,
and there were other guests there who wanted to do the same
thing,” Curt said. “So usually when Bonbright left, other
guests wanted to go fishing. That really got him into the charter
fishing business. After that, he really didn’t do handline
fishing.”
CHARTING A COURSE
For a time, it seemed as though Curt might not follow
his father’s career path. He graduated from Bliss Electrical
School with a degree in electrical engineering and in the early
1930s worked for Western Electric in New Jersey installing
phones. But he felt like a fish out of water there, and it wasn’t >>
Curt always had a zest for life and boating as evidenced by his shirt.
