John, Go diesel and add the vegtable oil kit! You can drive for next to nothing for fuel costs...Seriously, if I thought I'd ever retire, that is what I'd do. I'm no camper either Rick, but I'd love to tour around the country sailing with all you folks!

The boats are now pre-positioned at Gilbert's in Key Largo. The drive was broken up into three stages (Columbus, OH; Destin, FL and Key Largo, FL) over a week which made it easy. The down side was leaving a kilobuck at the Chevy dealer in FWB to get a grinding sound in the rear end fixed. First thought when hearing it..."that sounds expensive" We are looking forward to returning and sailing. Can't wait to unleash the new pentax jib and STX main.
