Your dinner group sounds wonderful---we would love to join you!
The Beach Club is absolutely gorgeous---both the pool and beach areas are now quite busy. It is a beautiful environment to go to each day. Construction has begun on the RC Residences on Ben Franklin---completion is scheduled for Fall 2005.

Yes--we do LOVE cruising and enjoyed all 20 cruises.
My FUN job at RC is assisting Guests at the pool and beach area---sounds more glamorous than it actually is! My Husband is a Guest driver. Additionally, he hosts a weekly sunrise search(with RC Guests) for sea turtle nests on our Beach. These nests must be found and protected throughout the nesting season (May 1 to Nov. 1) and is conducted in partnership with Mote Marine Laboratory here in Sarasota. Yes-- Sarasota is a great place to live and work and we enjoy it so much!
