Ok it's a new year and since it's colder than hell outside I'm thinking happy thoughts, like poker runs. I'm just thinking about which runs I would like to try to get to this year and I've got a bit of a dilemma. Do we go to the James run or do we go to Destin? There is no way we can do both or that would be the easy answer. I think I know Mark's answer but I like going to new places and we've never been to Destin. I know a few of you have done both so what do you think?
What other runs will see a cult presence this year?
P.S. feel free to PM me if you would like to avoid the wrath of Shack

Impossible to choose! TOTALLY different events.

1 is a 200 mile round trip party by boat with some of the best boating folks on the planet..

The other is a 200+ boat party in the heart of one of the US Spring Break Capitals.

If you have to chose, you can't go wrong.

Destin ..trust me. Totally different than anything you have done before. And they have shrimp & grits!! and A.J.'s(very famous hangout)
and Hellin'BacK!!!!!!!(that's a pizza bar)
and don't forget hanging it out and gettin' some serious airtime in the jetties..
If you have to choose between the two..you've done Jammin..and whatta party and group of good friends and boaters..BUT,..try something totally different!
no offense Mark.
But I'd have to think about forgetting them all to do the Bahamas!!

Gotta agree with that!

I would say you are right but I don't think I would feel real comfortable in an aging boat like mine. Pat we need to go and take a new 525 boat.

I need a ride....

Anyone renting??

Hmm, could be. Might do an all boys run up river this year and let my rev limiter meet us at Tidewater.

Just a thought at this point...

I like Chuck and Pat's idea of hitting the Bahamas.

On the other hand, wouldnt mind trying all three.

Time to get out the calender and start making plans.

There's always room for 1 more steve.

Really enjoyed Jacksonville two years ago.
The prerun to either St. Augustine or the one to Fernidina Beach and then the poker run great scenery and stops with the occasional party. Fun central location. Splash the boat ..park the truck and trailer until you need to leave town..hotel, docking entertainment all in one location.
Actually you could leave Jax and on the way home leave the boat in Destin for the run about 8 wks later.

Thanks Brian.

I know the James pretty well now.

This will be the 5th year in a row.
