FMO Fun Run to Hyatt Naples w/ DJ Troy
We will return to the Naples Hyatt House on the Gordon River bordering downtown Naples. FMO Board member and world renowned DJ Troy Schrick will be providing music for our party by the pool! Hopefully the weather will cooperate better this year than last.
Attending Captains will need to read the information below.
This fun run is free of charge to paid up FMO members and there is no event fee
Registration: To register for this club event Captains can email us at [email protected], post on our event thread on OffshoreOnly.com (OSO) or let us know on here on the face book event. When registering please include Make and length of your boat.
Start time: 11:00 AM from the our usual place on the south side of the Sanibel Bridge.
Departure time from Hyatt House after our lunch and social time will be at your leisure.
Membership renewal: If you have not yet renewed your membership for 2020, now would be a good time to do so as we are into a new year. Memberships can be done on line at the link below: https://ftmyersoffshore.com/membership/
Route: From the Sanibel Bridge we will start behind Tim Hill's Sunsation CC which will be the pace boat. We will run a coastal course south that will take us past Bonita Beach, past the Naples high rise buildings and just 2.75 miles past the Naples pier you will come to Gordon Pass. The coordinates for Gordon Pass are 26/05/44 N; 81/48/82 W. It is recommended you follow the pace boat or someone with local knowledge up the ICW to downtown Naples as there is a short idle zone just inside Gordon pass and also idle before you get to the Naples City Docks. After idling past Tin City and under the US 41 bridge, turn right and you will see the Hyatt come into view a few hundred yards along.
Dockage: As is the case with all venues please have fenders and lines ready. Be prepared to raft off as docking is limited.
Fuel / Distance: The distance from the Sanibel Bridge to the entrance of Gordon Pass is 30 miles. All boats are urged to leave with sufficient fuel, particularly if you use high octane fuel that is hard to get. 90 octane fuel can be obtained at either Hamilton Harbour Marina inside Gordon Pass off the ICW or Naples City Docks on Naples Bay.
Food: The Hyatt will be serving us a buffet lunch. They will be setting us up on the outside patio next to the pool
Waypoints:
Sanibel Bridge: N 26 29 00; W 82 00 88.
Gordon Pass ( Naples ): N 26 10 40; W 81 49 00.
Weather / Sea Conditions: to be posted on our OSO Ft. Myers Offshore forum 5 days in advance and updated if there are changes in the forecast referencing The Weather Channel as well as NOAA Marine Weather.
Safety: Each boat captain is required to operate his/her vessel in a safe manner and is responsible for his/her crew and their safety. When running in the ICW please be aware that this can be a high traffic area and we ask that other boats be given a wide berth and that the rules of the road be adhered to. As always please no alcohol for the captains. Our event is concluded upon reaching our lunch destination. Everyone can leave when they are ready
