If you would be prepared to consider "offshore US" on the
"unsinkable aircraft carrier", we have ~90 clubs all 70 miles
from the sea And if the beach becomes boring, there are
many other more interesting things to do nearby.

With the pound sinking like a stone, it would probably seem
quite cheap to you (typically $8/launch or $25-35 for an aerotow)
