St. Pete Poker Run

Anyone else in the area going to hang out & watch the boats run? Where would be the best place to watch them come by?

We will be at the Vinoy just north of the Pier. I suppose if you stand on the St Pete Pier you will see us take off.

I guess I should have said that we will be in our boat. Once we get down there I can look at our charts & try & figure out the routes you guys are taking. I just didn't now if there was a good spot to hang out, see the boats running hard & be out of the way.

Somewhere in the bay (roughly) near Coquina Key might work.
It's not far from the start- everyone will be running by the time they get there and hopefully nobody broke yet.

They will have to run a little closer to shore because of the point there.

Or... you could go down near the Sunshine Skyway. Should be a great day anywhere on the water!

Here's a view from the Skyway as a group approaches.

From the weather reports, sounds like there might be some opportunities for air time.
