Caught this pic at Lowe's on the way to dinner about a week ago. With 5 exits on 1-75, I see everything come through here, just wouldn't expect to see one at Lowes.

Andy0331,
Yes, Team Virgin's new home will be Ocala. Tres and I have decided to relocate our business to Ocala. It all started about two years ago when we visited Ocala and we fell in love with the beautiful hills and grand daddy oaks trees, horses, we just love it. We decided that this is the place where we would retired but then after driving up here every other weekends and looking around some more we just could not wait to live here. We decided to make the move now. Tres and I also found out that we have a passion for horses, so we picked up a few horses Paso Fino and we ride them every chance we get. We have a lot cooking right now, Tres school is doing well, and it is located on Lake Harris in Tavares which is about 45 minutes drive. It takes us that long to get to the shop now because the traffic is so bad in Fort Lauderdale (595). Tres will continue to rigg boats but we definitely are downsizing, I will let you know more about Martin Offshore plans for the future later on.
Well I have to go now, my horse is waiting for me!

Welcome to Ocala! It sounds like you've got things pretty squared away, but if you need anything, feel free to give me a shout. I've got a Real Estate brokerage here & if you or any friends or relatives need help or advice, I'll do my best to help.
On a related note, if Tres is running the school on Lake Harris, I have no excuse not to go since it's so close. I'll try to call next week to see the schedule for the next few months.

Thanks guys,
Andi, We are getting 16 acres on SR326, it is beautiful property. Tres's father is also looking to buy here but everything goes so fast!! Give me your number and I will call you.
We have not been to the museum yet, just been so busy with our horses and fixing up the house on the weekend. I have made many trips to Lowes
That is where you saw the Virgin truck, it was me shopping.
It is so different here, people are so nice and laid back.
Brad, we will still work on boats for sure just not in Fort Lauderdale.
Tres just got a John Deere lawn more, can you believe he is cutting grass? I hear him full throttle
Got to go........
