We are still camped at Lazydays tonight. Our window replacement was finished this afternoon, but the sealant would not be dry enough to get our complimentary coach wash and detailing today, so we are staying over until tomorrow. We are parked in the Crown Club area at Lazydays, which is the high-rent district here. In addition to free camping, the Crown Club offers complimentary gourmet breakfast and lunch, as well as an evening happy hour with free cocktails and hors d’oeuvres for members. We have been here going on three days now. We need to leave here soon, or else we will become obese alcoholics. Or worse: we will buy a new coach in order to extend our membership.
Today we saw a number of old friends, both by chance and by design. At a Lazydays seminar we ran into a couple that we had met during a Safari TREK rally two years ago. 10 minutes later at the Camping World store we ran into Ted, a fellow we had paddled with during two previous Central Florida Paddlemasters Week of Rivers events. Finally, we visited our friends Joe and Jean Faulk who own and operate a canoe livery only a few miles from Lazydays. If you are every in the Tampa area and want to paddle on the Hillsborough River, visit Canoe Escape and let Joe and Jean set you up. They are really nice folks and will treat you right. When you go, say hello to River Dog and Gus.
If things go as planned, tomorrow we will be camped at the Thousand Trails resort near Orlando, where we will see more old friends.
