What a bunch!! See you at Guy Harvey's.

Just got back and unbeleivably we did not get wet all day. To those in the Ft Myers group I am sorry that it did not work out the way we had planned and I know at least one of you did not get the notice of postponement until too late (Sorry Jack)
But at lunch today we hatched a new plan of coming up to Ft Myers beach to eat tommorrow so as to see our Ft Myers Brethren as well as not getting folks to far from home. I would suggest the Naples/ Marco gang form up at 10:30 but I would like to hear other thoughts on this. As far as The Ft Myers guys, maybe shoot for being in the vicinity of FMB somewhere around noon. Bob I have already forgotten the lunch destination you were speaking of so please jump in here.

BTW The Loose Cannon crew gets the Brass Balls award for not only driving down from Sarasota but battling the elements to join the coalition of the willing at Guy Harvey's. Joe and crew it was great meeting you and welcome to FMO

John

That was unbelievable. The rain started on Marco 5 minutes after I got back and tied Predator up. I don't know how we dodged the rain all day ! I will post some pics and you will see dark and threatening skies in every pic - but we did not get wet. Except for Joe and Loose Cannon who got into some rain between the Sanibel Bridge and Naples. Hope they have a safe trip back north and thanks for coming.
Thanks John for your organizing the run and I felt for you when a new plan evolved ever 5 minutes ! LOL
Bob

John. We talked of lunch tomorrow at Matanzas Inn at Ft Myers Beach. Nate called and will help organize the Naples boats. Rather than spend a lot of time tonight on planning I suggest we see what the weather is like in the morning and if it looks like a good day we chat then post the plan here by 9:30 AM. Nate suggested a later start say around 11 am. That would put us at Ft Myers Beach shortly after 12. I will call you in the morning around 9 am.

Some of the Naples Gang doubled up. There were only 7 boats but a good time was had by all.

Glad you guys got together for the run!! Cape coral just had some mist. Freakin weather!!! Satelite showed doom and gloom.

let me see what I can work out with the family to get out.
Will Jay be out taking pictures. If I can get out...Looks good. Jay can jump on my boat if it works for him.
Whats the prelim list for the gathering?
I check back around 8AM for the plans and see what thr weather is forcasting.

We missed Jayboat and his picture taking ability. I called Jay at 7:30am to tell him the run was postponed. He had just gotten on I-75 at Punta Gorda on his way to Marco and aborted his trip. Sorry Jay !

Dennis. The satelite images looked worse than was actually out there.
I will call Jay and let him know of your offer. That would save him some driving.
I would think there would only be 4 or 5 boats out of Naples and possibly myself so will likely be a small group again. Some have other plans. I am only good to go if it is a good day tomorrow and right now the forecast is much the same as today. This system has not moved completely thru yet.
Lets see what the morning brings and either John or I will post the plan between 9 and 9:30 in the morning.
Bob

Awww man... I knew that was gonna happen! Glad you guys managed to miss the rain.

Bob, did you get a new camera? some good shots there.

Thanks Dennis- I'll take you up on the offer if the weather holds.

Wish I could join you guys by boat tomorrow but I have some other business to take care of. I will be down in the back waters of fort myers beach all morning so I might come by and say hi! May be ill bring over my little boat for lunch! It has a unique outboard on it that you all might want to see!

Hey guys, we made it back to Sarasota safely with the Loose Cannon. We had a great time and it was nice seeing everyone!
We'll definately be down for another one!
