Re: Fun Run to Marco Island - April 22/06
Terry,
Great to meet you, too, as well as Bob, Jay and John in-person finally!
As I was coming back towards Fiddlers' Creek on 41 I saw this huge boat being trailered coming from 951. It was that Regal that fell off the trailer that you were talking about. It must have been brand new, but now it's F'd up! It was covered in mud; the railings were all bent, and the arch was ruined. Glass was broken and there were huge scratches but I didn't see any fiberglass damage. I can't imaging there wasn't any. Drives looked OK though - they can probably buff the rest out and it'll be fine
!!!!!!!!
Wouldn't be surprised if it's sitting at Naples Marina when I get there this morning - maybe that's where they were headed...

Craig,
As I drove back to Marco from the Cabana I saw them lifting the Regal out of the mangroves onto a trailer.
Was wishing I had my camera as it would have made a good pic to post. 
Great meeting you and others at the Cabana and look forward to next time we meet.

Bob,
Great to meet you, too, and good luck at the poker run in Ft. Myers!
I just hope that guy had GREAT insurance. He's going to need it - that claim is going to be a mess - it didn't look like the truck pulling the boat was very large - I wouldn't be surprised if he was well over his towing weight...
