Spring Time Racing In Florida

Yes .. Spring time in Florida is just a few weeks off. While we here in the mid-west are looking at frozen tundra the sweet smell of warm salty sea air is just 1200 miles away barely a 20 hour drive down I-75 from Toledo. If fuel prices stay down driving to Florida might not be such a budget breaker in 2009. At least a couple TABA windsurfers plan to head down for a couple weeks in paradise. Though temperatures can dip if northernly winds blow in it is not uncommon for air temps in the 80’s and water temps in the 70’s come March 1st in Sarasota.  Below some Mowinders race in Sarasota Bay.

 

Feb 28-March 1st 2009 is the Island Style Classic in Sarasota. See Web sites
