Hi Guys, I'll be down in Ft Myers, but leaving on Friday so I can't make your run. Maybe next time. Does anyone know if gas docks are closed on Thanksgiving day down there?

I hope to ride along Ron the fountain and me can be the slow group. Looks like for now no mec problems will hold us up. Not been a real good year for boatin for me sad..

Looks like 20 or more boats on this run. I have spoken to the Rod and Gun Club in Everglades City and will be expecting 60 or more bodies for lunch, no problem. I am currently working on arrangements for a fuel truck to fuel the boats with 93 octane while we have lunch. 89 octane is available there.
Will post more details later on the Ft Myers Offshore forum later.

Jeff, I hope you will join us for the run. Terry Sobo is planning on bringing a group of boats as well. On Sunday
[ day after our run ] us locals will be getting back on the water and hanging out at our party spot Keywaydin Island between Marco and Naples. If you or anyone else want to stay overnight in Naples or Marco just let me know and we can help with arrangements.

How many miles are we talken here?? give me a start point when we are talken miles

Bobthebuilder

Brian,

It is 45 miles from the Sanibel bridge to Marco then another 25 miles to Everglades City via offshore route for a total of 70 miles down. On the way back it will be 10 miles shorter as the tide will be up and we can take a shortcut on the backside of Marco.

Thanks Bob, I was hoping to meet you and few of the other boaters, tried to hook up in KW. Unfortunately we wont make that date either, boat is supposedely being tested Monday, then needs to be dialed in as well as a few hours put on it by Terry. Heck, Terry could just bring it there, rather get it with little or zero comebacks vs getting it rushed, at this point. Then back to Pat/Painter INXS motorsports for some touch up. Ya'll have fun, catch up with you guys next year. Jeff

Come on down, Scott- there's plenty of room for you.

There are two ramps in the area for anyone interested in trailering in. Cocohatchee at Wiggins Pass (Immokalee Rd) and Bayshore Park in Naples. No overnight parking at Cocohatchee, not sure about Bayshore.
