and Al to lunch in Cedar Key admire the improvement: here is the old version of this page |

| We reached
Eustis late on Sun. aft., found the LESC and dropped
off the boat. We met Bob Brown on Monday morning after
disrupting Bob's birthday party with a phone call
Sunday night. Bob would be our host starting Wed. as
Marc and I were visiting some of Marc's relatives. We
spent a lovely evening with Marc's Uncle Gene and his
wife, Charmaine, mostly in MoJos, the Jamaican
restaurant where Gene is the maitre d'. Wednesday, our
stay with Bob got off to a flying start (above) |

| Relaxing in the co-pilot's
seat and enjoying every minute of the flight! "This is your captain, Uncle Al speaking, wishing you a pleasant flight." |

| Aerial views of the Harris chain of lakes
interconnected with Lake Eustis. |
 |
| Lake Eustis is the one on the
upper right of this photos, I believe |
 |
| This is
Bob's home airfield (in Tavares, I think!) |
 |
| (above) Flying more
or less over Bob's Florida home one can see the
Lakeshore Road which leads into Eustis and is a wonderful morning drive on the way to the sailing club. |

was rushed to completion for the Wayfarer Midwinters. |

| One last pass over the club -
LESC just bought 500' of the Lake Eustis shoreline which extends the club's property to the right of the boat park you can see above |
 |
| a lovely surprise for Marc
and me, a Bob flew us to Cedar Key, about half an hour
by air from Lake Eustis - and there it was, just like in a story book! What a great place! |

Checker! |

| And then it was lunch and cold drinks at
the Seabreeze. |
