Timbo,
While your lake and Eustis are both very nice to sail at and not too far, both are located in the middle of the state and for most of the year the wind is crappy.
Beach access anywhere in Fl is currently out of the question, but we have a few spots that re very nice to sail out of on the east coast here, and the sea breeze of 8-15 can be counted on pretty reularly. The problem is mast up storage.
This should probably go on the regular forum as it pertains to all the local cat sailors, but: The charter that Caleema has at Kelly Park comes up for renewal in the next year or so. A coordinated proposal for storage and slightly expanded facilites at the park could be a good sell to the county if done correctly. There is easily room for a small club house and mast up storage for 1-200 boats, and it is pretty nice area to sail out of. There is the no motor zone up into the space center and you can go as far south as you want to go.
Hey tback, after your condo commando experiece ,you up to lead an attack on the county?
