We hope to retire in Florida in 2006 and want to take up sailing, probably ending up with a fixed keel about 30''. We would want to do day sailing, maybe some racing, and multiple day cruises.

We are going to check out the Leesburg/Ocala, Sarasota, Punta Gorda, and Naples areas in a couple of weeks.

Would your readers have any comments about those places or advice other locations we should consider?
