February in Florida

A rendezvous with sailing friends Katherine and Craig was long overdue so we left the motorhome and bike in storage in Malaga and jumped on a high-speed train to Madrid to catch our flight to Florida.

We had a great trip that included plenty of culture with a trip to the theatre and a music lecture at Florida University where we learnt about the lives of George Harrison and Van Morrison. We got close to nature with a visit to the Gumbo Limbo turtle sanctuary and Wachodahatchee bird sanctuary to see the storks with their chicks, herons and an alligator! And it was back on the water with a couple of days aboard their boat Sangaris where Chris helped Craig with some maintenance while Katherine and I played boules with friends. We also joined K and C twice a week to race remote control sailing boats, which we had done on previous visits (well, Chris raced and I helped at the start and finish). We also visited an RV show which gave us plenty of ideas for a trip across the USA in an RV

Our time was filled with plenty of laughter as well as good food and wine, just like our times together in the Mediterranean.

Thank you for a wonderful tripOkumaya devam et
