More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A warm Florida sun bakes the deck as the 25-foot sloop slips away from Lake Fairview’s public ramp. The wind tugs at the sails, the captain calls trim, and the water opens—calm pockets dotted with birdlife and the occasional wake from a distant motorboat. This is Orlando without the soundtrack of theme parks: wide sky, shallow flats, and a small crew learning to steer a tiller.
