I have been here in Tavares, Florida for one week and just finished the Sunnyland Antique boat festival. Many beautiful wooden boats were here as well as seaplanes and Amphicars. That 007 boat pictured is from Russia and has a huge radial airplane engine. The city is just finishing a massive waterfront renovation with all new docks making this a perfect spot for the event.
Yesterday we did a Amphicar parade and then a group spash-in for the huge crowds. They lined the docks and cheered us on, Spanky riding on the back was as always a huge hit! During the week, I was able to explore the area and take long Amphicar rides on Harris Lake and Lake Dora. All the lakes are connected by canals and you can go for miles. Very pretty scenery, just watch out for the alligators.
This show was a great place to see old friends and meet new ones. Now I am packing back up to get on the road. Tomorrow I am headed south to visit goods friends in Port Charlotte.
