Nice place, isn't it? Many years ago, I used to spend a lot of time there,
and at the winery, but mostly used sailboats as my transportation. Everyone
knows sailboats are better to drive than airplanes, when you have a snoot
full! g

Indeed it is a splendid place. I took quite a lot of pictures. We
walked as far as the airfield and watched a couple of take-offs - I was
interested to see what the margin was over the trees at the end of the
runway!

Sailing is something I used to do many years ago. I was no good at any
activity that needed a ball - sailing was fine.

Was the Ford Trimotor still doing regular runs out to the islands?

I did not see it nor any publicity about it but we were there near the
end of the season. What it is like when all the golf carts are in
operation I can't imagine!
