Jim and Maureen Van Tiem are the only full-time Wild Dunes residents in this family, but thanks to a large out-of-state family contingency that includes many golfers and beachgoers, they’ve actually sprung for a second cart. Like most, they use their carts for scenic convenience, but often pick up stranded cyclists, reroute lost walkers, or give rides to families with overtired tykes. When the grandchildren are in town, the Van Tiems like to go scouting for wildlife, once racking up a count of 32 deer, another time spotting an alligator near the road, helping find a lost dog, and numerous sightings of egrets, blue herons, flying fish, and of course—turtles. Clockwise from 11 o'clock: Julie Osoteo, Collin Van Tiem, Grace Osoteo, Ryan Van Tiem, Holly Nesbitt, Kristen Komara (blocked is Brennan Van Tiem held by Kristen), Beth Nesbitt, Maureen Van Tiem and Jim Van Tiem. In the cart clockwise, Mark Osoteo, Garett Nesbitt and Jane Nesbitt in his lap.
