Il est 08 :00. C'est le moment de retourner à l'aéroport. Vérifier la météo, déposer un plan de vol (il y a plus de difficulté à partir d'ici; la météo est bonne; en tout cas sans menace sérieuse), payer la note et dire au revoir.

Le vol se déroule sans incident jusqu'à Savannah. L'Atlantique nord nous attend. Gris et froid mais présent. Ça veut aussi dire que nous nous dirigeons vers le sud. Là où c'est beau et chaud. Nous suivons étroitement la côte. Les énormes bâtiments de Cape Canaveral se dessinent au loin. Quelque part un porte-avion est au mouillage.

Finalement nous arrivons en Floride. L'eau change de couleur, passant du gris au bleu. Du bleu à plus bleu. Et de plus bleu à génial. J'ai hâte de voir ça de plus prêt.

Il est prévu de s'arréter dans un petit aéroport pour éviter la congestion des gros. Ce sera Boca Raton. Une amie m'a prévenu, il n'y a que des québécois dans le coin. C'est le moment de vérifier.

Je passe l'après-midi sur la plage. Rien de mieux qu'un verre de vin blanc en bonne compagnie (la serveuse est bretonne, je ne lui en veux pas), les doigts de pieds en éventail dans l'eau en cet après-midi de janvier. Le français semble en effet plus populaire que l'anglais par ici. J'ai même droit de pratique mon russe : Cette glace était délicieuse. Tellement bonne en fait que j'ai bien failli devoir la partager avec un des locaux.

8 :00 AM it's time to go back to the airport. Check the weather, file the file plan (there's no more challenge from here on; the weather should be good; at least without serious threat), pay the bill and say goodbye.

The flight is eventless until Savannah. The Northern Atlantic is waiting us there. Grey and cold, but there. It also means we're going South. Where it's nice and warm. We closely follow the shoreline. See from far the huge building of Cape canavernal. Pass the Aircraft carrier somewhere along the road.

Finally we reach the South of Florida. The water is changing from grey to blue. From blue to bluer. And from bluer to really nice. I can't wait to have a closer look.

I planed to stop in a small airport to avoid the congestion of the big ones. It's Boca Raton. A friend of mine told me the area is pack with people from Quebec. It's time to check it out.

I spend the afternoon on the beach. Enjoying a glass of white wine in good company (the waitress is actually from Brittany), my feet washed by the waves of the Atlantic on this afternoon of January 06th. It is true, you hear more French than English around here. I even get a chance to practice my Russian: That ice-cream was delicious. So good I almost had to share with the local birds.
