It is a regular for them.....they know the people.  But the blackened fish sandwich was very, very good. 

Babe and I are going to spend a week or so up in that area so we might still get to check out The Turtle.  More recommendations coming my way than I can keep up with.....bars and restaurants.  And I don't even drink!    :o

Went for a ride with Harry (Unbalanced), John (johnsachs) and Stuart (CVOStu) yesterday and the photos that I took on that ride are posted in Harry's ride report here.....   https://www.cvoharley.com/smf/index.php?topic=114822.msg1458302#msg1458302

I passed on their ride today.  I stayed up till about 1:30 a.m. this morning and so I wasn't able to get it together early enough to join them today.  However, I did go for a little solo ride this afternoon....maybe 35-40 miles out and back.

My first stop was at Nelson's Outdoor Resort and Airboat Rides Unlimited on the Ocklawaha River to inquire about the air boat rides  :o   I settled for taking a look around their place and passed on the air boat ride for today.....




Now this place fits the mental image that I have of the place where a gator sneaks up on you and has your foot for lunch....

Soon I wondered upon a place that I remembered Harry telling us about yesterday, Gator Joe's.  So....I had to swing by and take a peek.....

With all the activity at Gator Joe's today, I decided to cruise on around the lake to see if Eatons Beach had any more activity than it did yesterday.  We must have just showed up to early yesterday because today it was so crowded that I didn't even try to get inside.....



My first glimpse over the wall....it looks promising....

I left Eatons Beach and rode on around the lake for some other views....



This air boat, like most, has a big V-8.....this one being a big block.  Sounded more like a rail dragster than a boat taking off....

Can't tell you the name of it but it's on that road that has one of the mountains here in Florida.  :P   I could show you.....let's ride!
