Re: Width o Florida I WILL drive 2 hours to see the ocean (St. Augustine Beach is beautiful) because I think the Gulf is a bit boring, at least our stretch of it. I have been further south on the west coast and the color of the Gulf changes to a gorgeous blue/green/azure about from Sarasota on down. Along the nature coast of Hernando county, it is more of a murky color. I guess I mostly miss the waves and surf of the ocean as the Gulf is so much calmer. We used to regularly drive a good 3 hours from our home in Anne arundel Co., MD (near the Chesapeake Bay) to the Ocean City area of Maryland's Eastern Shore. I even drove there for long weekends in January, which I preferred to summer - I am so fair-skinned that I don't dare spend too much time on any beach in full sun - don't even know what I am doing in Florida at all! I used to hope that the feckles would all connect. I won't drive that far for butter either, albeit Irish butter....
