Jennifer,
Gulfport is about 700 miles from Casey Key Island.
That's too far for me. Even when we were racing a lot from Orlando, we kept the range from Jacksonville to Miami and then mainly from Daytona Beach to Miami.
With my family committments now, anything over 3 or 4 hours drive is too far for me. I have the ocean about 300 feet from my back door, so no need to go too far.
Hope to se the Taipans at the SSS Labor Day bash.
