Campgrounds of Florida from Miami to Georgia
“Where are you going to sleep?” is the most common question I get from people who learn about my project. It’s a very good question. There are many sections where I just don’t know where I’ll be sleeping. Here, I’ve collected the coordinates of the campgrounds I know I can access on my way to Georgia.
These coordinates come from the Florida Circumnavigational Saltwater Paddling Trail charts provided by the Florida Department of Environmental protection (http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gwt/paddling/Segments/Segment%20Home.htm or for a download of all the charts in pdf form http://www.dep.state.fl.us/gwt/paddling/PDF/FCSPT%20Entire%20MapSet_new.pdf) and from the Florida Paddling trail association website (http://www.floridapaddlingtrails.com/default.asp).

Zut alors, nous nous sommes manqué de peu. J’étais en Floride (Chocoloskee to Flamingo, Boca Chita, etc.) l’hiver dernier. Par contre j’étais en voile-camping. Il est possible que j’y retourne en mars cette année avec le même voilier et j’aimerais bien vous posez qq questions, si vous êtes disponible.
Si la voile camping et/ou la construction de voilier vous intéresse, visitez : http://www.coeurdemarin.com

Au plaisir et merci
Salut, je vais prochainement écrire 4 articles pour Small Craft Advisor. Alors je lis pas mal d’affaires sur les petits voiliers. Je pense de plus en plus à faire un voyage sur un open deck de moins de 20 pieds. Partir de Floride pour aller à Panama par exemple.
