[quote=antonlargiader]If we do the Largo-KW ride, it may not even be during Spring Break. Camaraderie aside, there's no need for support or for paying Spring Break prices. So I suppose there are a few separate ideas being floated around. 1) the DT trip, which I haven't ruled in or out but I have concerns about, 2) a group trip within the keys during Spring Break, and 3) something I do on my own. I can keep compiling information for 2 and 3.
From here: http://www.keyshistory.org/MileMarkerChart.html
Largo is around 100 miles from Key West. If you put in farther away, access seems to be harder and you need to navigate some channels. For instance I got to thinking that we could actually sail from Fort Lauderdale, across Biscayne Bay, and down the ICW. It's possible; I just don't know if it would be fun or worth the time if we could be in the lower keys instead.

MM 20 - Sugarloaf Key KOA - http://koa.com/campgrounds/sugarloaf-key
For campers, that covers any kind of 2~4-day trip from Largo. I haven't contacted these parks yet to see if there's a problem arriving by beach cat but I will. There may also be other commercial campgrounds that are closer to bars or restaurants. With the right following wind maybe one day is possible?
Don't know about KW itself. Here's the Community Sailing Center: http://keywestsailingcenter.com<!-- editby --><em>Edited by antonlargiader on Nov 28, 2014 - 12:49 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
