On the island now. Got in last night and took a late walk on the beach. I've been here before but never really payed attention to the trees--lots of oaks I'm not familiar with--live oak I think, and maybe laurel oak. It seemed like on the way down here everything on the sides of the road was either SYP or sweet gum. Lots of sweet gum. I'm not into turning pine or palm wood! Beautiful scenery and climate regardless. I plan on catching up with Peter tomorrow, and using the aaw directory to call some other turners. Thanks for the suggestions, folks.
