Bob, any thoughts about Hamilton Harbor for March 2 they usually put on a nice spread for us. I have talked to a few of the fort Myers beach boaters they all like the picnic idea so far.

Bill, Tom Cullen has some great Naples connections and has set up the Hamilton Harbor event for us in past years. HH dropped the ball last spring on us with a staff change and told us at the last minute they could not take us. We went to the Lighthouse instead you may recall. They had also warned Tom that they were getting their marina pretty well filled up and may not be able to accommodate us in the future. This year Tom could not even get them to return several phone calls to discuss the October 6th event so to he!! w them. We will wave of coarse as we go by. LOL

Thanks Don. I expect you are speaking on the inside ? ( ICW ) There is the Eagle Restaurant at Boca Grande Marina ( used to be known as Millers Marina I believe ) just a couple of miles north of Boca grande Pass. I was there years ago but think it has changed ( for the better ). They could probably handle us either early or late in the season with a small group but dockage would be a problem in season. Also further up is Gasparilla marina which I checked out last year and decided the restaurant was not big enough to handle a group our size. I always felt it would make a good run going up that way. We did enjoy the ICW running up to Sarasota last year when it was rough on the outside. Venice has the Crow's Nest just inside the inlet is nice but a bit too far for most in our group.

What about Barnicle Phils?

A lot of docking for us, and more of a beach/key west feel.
