That is up in North Ft Myers. I don't think it got that cold down here
nearer the water. It has been cold tho. I hope it warms up a bit for
Bill but he better bring a wet suit. Key West is reporting 67.7f water


Always bring the spring suit. 70 degree water is like 55 air temps, and
how any times in 55 degr e air do you run around mostly nekid?

If it gets much below 60 I will put on long pants if I am not working
pretty hard but that is rare. Still t shirt and boat shoes.
If I am cutting trees or something I would still have my shorts on.

I see
driving from the keys to Orlando, I can drive to the west, through the
Everglades, via Naples. Is that a nice drive? Daytona is the 21st, and I
think staying away from the east coast would be smart then.

If you take the turnpike you get away from the east coast traffic a
bit. If there is nothing in particular you want to see over here that
is the way I would go. We really don't have a road that goes straight
from here to Orlando. You can go up through Sebring on the 2 lane
blacktop or up 75 to 4.
I4 can get ugly in the afternoon both on the Tampa end and on the
Orlando end.

If you do find yourself on I75 I am at exit 123 (ph 992-4005)

I am leaving for Michigan on the 22d for my ski trip.
