Yeah - it's not bad on the weekends either.

7 min to skyway. H Trimble has me beat now... he can be there in 5 1/2.

I live in Death Valley (Palm Harbor - US19 between Klosterman and Alderman roads). Depending on the time to get out on 19 and making the suicide U-turn across 4 lanes of traffic, I can get to Sunset Beach in Tarpon Springs in around 15 minutes. Once Belcher road is finished up to Klosterman road I should be able to make it in 10. I've made the trip several times after checking the wind meter at Howard Park and when I got there... no wind. If I had to drive 45 minutes to get to a launch site and got skunked, I would go nuts.

sunset beach..... my favorite place for a west wind....flat water for over a mile to fred howard park 8)
