Fun at Everglades Rec Center

Our temporary home was Everglades Rec Center while Ashland Pond was drained for repairs.

Many thanks to officials at Everglades and other boating clubs for allowing us to sail.

​

At Everglades we had many visitors, including a friendly and inquisitive alligator (currently named "Smiley").

​

Now we are back at Ashland Pond.
