We drove to Jacksonville and headed to Sawgrass golf course (pretty good one apparently) for a steak and a meet up with one of Neil's childhood friends, a golfer perchance! It's always nice to meet your friends friends - if they don't have long term mates then give them a wide berth, they might well be Freaks or often be parasites, after something you've got or once had looking for an 'in'.
We had a nice night, a very good steak, 2 amazingly expensive bottles of wine and learnt what a 'Florida Fountain' was from the Waiter (don't ask). Next morning woke up with a red wine and rum hangover, and red teeth to match! We trickled around to the players lounge, coffee, eggs ben, a casting and a half of a Man City game ensued on the telly.
"Whata we gonna do car sales are slumping, if it wasn't for me turkey farm and thanks giving we'd all be proper fucked!" "Hold on.. I've got an idea that might just work.... free turkey with every test drive?"
Now we were lucky as it was dark when we got there and Ryan had just come back from a surf comp, he ran a proper surf shop with his brother and dad, his dad opened it in 1962 selling t-shirts and boards in an area his dad had let him have.
If your ever in the area go see Nomad Surf, its really chilled out there, we hung out at the beach chatting to frisbie girls and his mates, it was just what we needed before Miami!
