Time to start planning

Key West is 10 weeks away.

I'm meeting with Stu from the Florida Powerboat Club this week to start planning the run.

It really is time to start the planning now so let me know or contact Stu directly so we can make plans, get decent docks and rooms!

So there isn't a question we are going to run with the FPC this year so that more owners can have larger windows of opportunity to leave on different days and utilize the FPC events such as banquets and parties.

Thanks, Pat

Are previous AT owners permitted to join in on the fun?
Can you give me some details??? Looking to make a end of the season trip.

You wouldn't know first hand because you are afraid to get that boat out in January and join us for a some fun in the sun. I will give you that we were in a foot of water but at least it was sunny and I learned that anything over a foot of water is overkill anyway.

You looked fine.....however the lady with the GPS batteries was looking (and sounding) a little nervous.

Somehow Forrest Gump is coming to mind here!
