Default Boating in Dec at 100+mph

Oh the joys of living in FL.

Earlier today, my 11 year old son and I lowered the Skater of the lift, and spend some time together at 100+mph.

Air-temp: 84
Humidity: 56%
Winds 9mph ENE
Charlotte Harbor, light chop <1ft

POB: 2
Fuel on board upon return to dock: 45
Fuel on board during speed portion of run: 50

Construction details and photos, delivery photos, tons of technical data, and many photos, plus discussion at http://www.offshoreonly.com/forums/s...149139&page=11

We ran up through Charlotte Harbor a few days ago. Here we are at Harpoon Harry's.

Read the board under Fort Myers Offshore and join our next fun run.

Nice... as I read this the sheriff’s office comes across the TV stating we are now under a level 1 snow emergency.

I'm not complaining though we were in KW just a few weeks ago.

Next time you get down here, you need to call me. The last time you were here, we could not get the OuterLimits off the lift, due to a very low winter tide. Next time, we will hope for just a little more water, and go have some fun. My office number is 941-697-0200.

I still think alot about the race boat days, when we were living the dream. Everyone here, has fond memories of those days.

Always good to hear from you.

No kid'in, this sux! I just walked out to the beach here on the lake about a half hour ago (dont ask me why) it is pure evil out there. Got my azz back in the house quick. Its blow'in pretty good and the snow stopped out here but i could see a band of snow over the western end of lake Erie, could see Monroe and Detroit glowing in it. Oh well . . . . head'in back to Fla on Thursday . . . screw this!

It's gotta be cold coming off the lake!

I talked to some family from down river (Riverview) earlier this evening and they were getting hit then. I tell you what it sure is nice here during the summer but man once this cold sh*t hits I'm all for the south!!
