Picture this: It's a sultry summer afternoon on the Alabama Gulf Coast. There seems not to be a breath of air stirring. What's the perfect antidote? Speed! Hop in a go-kart and get the wind whipping through your hair. Or, catch a ride on a fishing charter or sight-seeing cruise. A few laps around the track or an afternoon on the water is a sure way to beat the heat.
