Not trying to be doom and gloom but.........weather forecast is getting worse.......
Per NOAA: Saturday: Periods of showers and possibly a thunderstorm, mainly before 11am. High near 83. North northwest wind between 3 and 6 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. New rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible.
Will be checking radar in the A.M.

Let's use the weather channel forecast.
It will all change by morning anyway...

Good morning everyone,
Its about 12:30 AM and we just got back from testing and everything looks good. What a beautiful night to be out running.
John, Definately need to be positive. Besides it never rains in Florida that is liquid sunshine. See you all in a little bit.
A few last minute things. For those unfamiliar with the area, as we come into Capri pass please try to keep good spacing between the boats and lets not get too crazy in the intercoastal. There is one manatee zone for about 1 mile approx halfway down the inter coastal so watch for the boat ahead coming off plane. Once we start to near Naples bay there will be one very short no wake zone(100yds) where there is somewhat of an intersection. Once we get to the docks it has been decided that all boats will dock at the docks on fifth which is right next door to Joe's. We will be occupying all of the end docks. there is more than enough room for us all. Upon entering Joes they will have us set up in the party room just let the hostess know you are with FMO and they will direct you accordingly. The intercoastal is a great twisty scenic run but please be careful as there are many boats headed to Keywaddin using the same water. Lets have a great day and I look forward to seeing everyone soon

Weather channel radar shows more rain building from the southwest and coming this way for most of the day. The forecast shows a few rays of sunshine for noon-time and then reverting to thunderstorms for the rest of the afternoon.
