And it's wonderful to read of your adventures again. I have good memories of trips to the Keys & Everglades myself (camping and canoeing, not sailing -- that sounds perfectly grand).

I forget which location it's in, but have you been to the campground in the Everglades where you can watch the birds flyover during their evening migration from their daytime perches over the water to the island where they spend the night? They fly directly over one particular area of the campground just before/at dusk. Fairly low, too. It's just spectacular!

I'm harboring fantasies of meeting you over there for a short spell next winter. (During winter break of grad school, of course.)

I love that area of FL. I used to camp on Sunshine Key every spring. At one time I went to Daytona for bike week yearly. I have a 73 HD Sport...still. But Daytona became old and instead I started biking down to the keys. I love Sanibel Island and have spent many a camping trip in the area.
Thanks for sharing your adventure.
