Performance Boats Magazine coverage
Pete Boden ( OSO - Pete B ) has informed me that his magazine will be doing an article on our New Years Day fun run to Marco. Pete will be positioned on the Ft. Myers Beach pier and will get shots of us doing a fly- by on our way south to Marco. We will stay in a single file formation until after we pass the pier so Pete can get his shots. Thanks Pete and Performance Boats Magazine.

When I go to FMO events, I come out of the Myakka River, go south down Charlotte Harbor, turn west near marker #5, and then either out Boca Pass to the Gulf or down the ICW. We always welcome other boats to group up with us and enjoy the ride.
Nancy and I have had something planed for New Years Day for months now, so we will not make this event. We are planning on doing all of the subsequent FMO events.
Those who run with me, should remember, captains are responsible for the safety of those around them, and for the actions of their boat and guests.

Sorry you will miss this one Frank. Between Jay aboard Team PREDATOR, Pete B on the pier and Jeff from Freeze Frame being in the helicopter overhead, there will be some great boat pics again on this run. We are fortunate to have so much camera talent right in the local area.
Also I took a look ahead at the long range weather. Looks like a warming trend after Xmas and could see 83 degrees and nothing but sunshine by NY Day. Hope it holds true.
Someday in the next while, I am going to contact you and have you show me around Cayo Costa and Charley Pass area to see if suitable for the April raft up / beach party.
