I am usually in Florida in February, so I am interested, even if I have to drive to the "other" side. (From the Space Coast.)

As you know, Florida has two coasts, east and west, with the Enterprise and Water Phantom on the west coast (35 miles apart) and some others on the east coast. I think the idea of having an actual boat rendezvous in a place that is reachable for people to sail to is pretty slim. I also know of three other C&Cs in the gulf coast and Tampa Bay areas. 2. Because we all boat here year-round (suck it, northerners!) marina space for more than a handful of boats seems to be a stretch. Then again, see #1 above. 3. That being said, I could organize a C&C Owners’ Rendezvous in Sarasota (even at my club in Venice), Tampa, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or other such place that could be an easy drive or flight. I welcome everyone’s (even David Risch’s) thoughts and then I’ll put out a survey. Should we have a owners’ rendezvous, what kinds of things would you like the group to do (You know, besides eat and drink) — seminar, guest speaker, etc.? If we were to do something in the Venice - Sarasota - Tampa - Clearwater area, I’m sure we could get the Enterprise and Water Phantom, and perhaps one or two more, to a location. I am confident that I can organize hotel (or hotel options) and a place for us to meet as I do marketing and event planning for a living. Warning though -- I understand in February it can be a little chilly here, with highs in the mid 70s. Brrrrr. (Insert evil laugh here.) Chime in, folks. Please. All the best, Edd Edd M.
