March 8th
 

Anybody got plans for the 8th. 2 boats from FMB, near Fish Tale Marina going somewhere for lunch!

I will be on the water for sure. Kinda thinkin of running north to Cabbage Key for lunch. I hear there are a number of boats that want to get out that day. I will be passing by the Sanibel Bridge at 11 AM ish that morning so if you want to join in see you there.:D

I have not been to cabbage key in a while sounds like fun.

Couldn't think of a better place to be on the 8th . See everyone at the bridge, 11 ish.

That might be a good day to keep going and come back around the inside thru Matlacha. Ive never done it, looks like a nice ride.

I drove by there this weekend and it was packed. Boats were parked in every slip, The smaller boats were beached on the shore and you couldn't even find a place to sit if you wanted to. They might have enough room for 1 or 2 boats but I don't think they would have enough room for 5 or more.

Have fun! Hope to see some good pictures!

Don. You have confirmed the one concern I did have and that is Cabbage Keys ability to handle a number of boats. I have a couple ideas I need to investgate and will have something to suggest soon.:D

You have to be early or lucky. If you sitck a scantily dressed bunny on the bow the waters will part.

I tried that last time we wanted to go there, didn't work. :D

The dock master told Amanda and I that he was too full to accept us. So I turned around and left and went to Tween Waters.

If you get there before 11:30 you should be OK. By 12:30 the docks are usually really busy. last time we were there (late fall) we had such a bad time, and really bad service that we haven't been back since and don't think we will be back anytime soon.

How about the restaurant at Burnt Store marina?

If you all wind up coming North, I may come along; however, I need to work on 1 thing and hope for the other 2.

1) Get my wife in the Skater. She has never been in it, and it will need to be a very calm day. Actually, she has only been on 1 of my last 5-6 boats.
2) Get my new prop from Mercury Racing.
3) Tides need to be favorable to get the boat off the lift, and then back on at the end of the day.

I'll be down there then .... hope to see you guys at Cabbage Key on the 8th ! .... yes , gotta get there EARLY !!!!

Weather is looking really crappy for this weekend....:(
