Roland Martin is a first-class guy. He'd probably let you book a room at
his marina, if he's still operating it. I'm sure they have at least one
room reserved for your kind. Of course, you might have to show a photo
ID...you'd best stay at home.

Oh...and sometime in the late 1950s, I don't remember exactly when, my
father and mother took a trip to a fancy resort where my father, cashing
in a "prize" he won as a boat dealer, got to dance with Frances
Langford. I saw an 8mm movie of it when they returned home.


I am impressed.


Roland Martin's Marina is a cool place with a *lot* of local color.

Bring bug spray. We lent ours to the band two years ago so they could
keep playing. Unfortunately the main channel through Lake O is about
1.5 feet below our run aground depth at the moment. Hello Florida
Keys.
