Legend has it that a Mercedes got hosed down by that roostertail and that he got a new car out of it. May be a tall tale I don't know.

[QUOTE=Bobthebuilder]I believe that is New Pass. Same bridge we idled under to get from Sarasota Bay to the Gulf a couple weeks ago on the Poker Run. That same pic hangs on the wall in the
"Boathouse" bar at the Hyatt.

I remember seeing it in the bar and we were looking at it wondering where the pic was taken. Good picture.
