Right in the middle of sailing season in FL. How convenient for Ding. The whole world at his back door looking for a place to sail....

You want funky lake sailing? Host it in Clermont

You want crazy lake sailing? Find a way to put it in Lake Okeechobee. (Bonus points for any sailor who doesn't spot an alligator bigger than their boat)

Coastal Ocean and its associated surf? Anywhere along the east coast

Less violent pseudo-ocean conditions? Pensacola (colder) to Marco Island (warmer)

You want tropical paridise? Port Charlotte (west)to the Keys (south) to Palm Beach (east)

Wind, sea and temperature conditions vary from 80F and 10-12kts with light chop, to a Nor'easter driving 30+kts along with huge surf (east coast) and temperatures that fall to near freezing

Jan-March seems close to "peak" season in Florida, both for sailing and tourism (so prices might be up), but for a 100+ boat fleet, deals can be made.

Containers can be shipped throughout the state. Jax, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Tampa, have container terminals from quick memory. Rail service can get almost everywhere else
