If you like gray skies, constant rain, cold weather, and freezing oceans, Florida is not for you.
I go sailing and underwater fishing all year around on the warm ocean, and I spend long hours outdoors, especially on weekends.
I lived in California, but I had to wear a wetsuit to go surfing, since the water was too cold for me. I still think that southern California has great weather near the coast. I hope you enjoyed California.
