Orlando, West Palm, or Miami. West Palm is closest but hardest to get to (flights). Orlando and Miami are both about 3 hours away by car. Tampa is another option but about a 4 hour drive.

Check out Sanford and Daytona as well. Sanford will probably be the least expensive option, and about 2 1/2 hour drive.

I'm wondering how the meet venue, River Palm Cottages at Jensens Beach, coped with Irma?
Currently building Jacques Mertens ST21 "Skinnydip". Boating adventures: Splash testing and using 'Skinnydip, as a basis of further building refinement; Adams 44’ sailing sloop "Great Sandy" (cruising and maintaining); Iain Oughtred Feather Pram "Mini Dip" (building); Jacques Mertens R13 "Wood Duck" (built and due for maintenance).

Sounds like the meet is still a go? I would like to buy tickets unless I hear there is a problem.
