[Rhodes22-list] Bill's Dry Tortugas Adventure -- Day 1

[Bob Keller]

Joe,
Since you are already in Florida try Charlotte Harbor and the gulf islands on the west coast.  Perfect place for the R-22.  Been going there for almost 10 years and never get tired of it.  Not in the summer of course but October or April-May are best.
