I remember it was up for sale a few years back !

I remember that it was for sale, yes. But that was a few years back. Hey, ya never know Jackie. Can't hurt to inquire. The bridge used to route behind the test center. The new bridge is so large, they needed to build it in front of the test facility, out in the water. That completely ruined the views, and its resale value for the future, such as for condo developers, etc... Still good for a marina type property though.

You'd be surprised how well any old camera that they sell today will do, with absolutely no effort. They are all digital nowadays & very inexpensive, even to buy new. Basically you just point and shoot Jackie. They are too easy.

Really like that area. A family friend, ex-Ford Chief of Design, Jay-Jay Telnack(Jack Telnack) owns a home right in there, as well...

Every freaking day, living in southeast Florida, all year round, is absolutely beautiful. Only place nicer is Hawaii, in the states.

Yes I agree. The last visit I had to FL was the SW , FtMyersBeach ,Sanibel, Marco, Naples. Not too bad on that side either.

....And then there is Clearwater Beach, which was voted best beach in the country by Trip Adviser. The Miami area might have great sunrises, but you don't have these...

You may have golf courses in florida Fuji, but you don't have one where you can stand on the 9th and see for fifty miles in any direction, such sights as the Brighton dome to the east, Portsmouth and the spinnaker tower to the west, Osbourne House (Queen Victoria's country seat) on the Isle of Wight to the south!
Reason for this of course is, in West Sussex we have "the downs" colonials would call them hills---------and the lushest green grass on the planet which can only come with age and history!
Im sure you all heard the tale of one of the USA president, asking the greenkeeper at Goodwood how come he got the greens so perfect? He told old Theodore, " take a stretch of grass ---feed it, love it, roll it, cut it and water it for 200 years, and you have the basis for a good green!. It's a little thing called "HISTORY" ------we have it in spades over here.
Your move Fuji.

Yes we do have all all these things Bob, sunrise, sunset, beaches, marinas PLUS "HILLS". One thing we don't have is temperature ? But we do have Alaskan type winters!

OK, Jackie, you win..! We don't have Alaskan type winters here. However, sometimes winning is not a good thing....
