Just got a call from Ken Trelfa and Ken advises that there are an additional 5 boats coming that are friends of Ken's and Jeff Haylett. Some will be on their first FMO run. No particulars on the boats were given. That will make for 15 boats we know of.
I will be posting the weather later today or tomorrow but right now it looks like 71 deg and lots of sun.

Thanks, Bill. Our current boat count may be closer to 14 then. I have found that our head count on average is 3.5 people per boat. When it is a drive to location like this is it could go as high as 4 X the number of boats but so far I do not know anyone driving. I had told Hamilton Harbor some time ago we should have around 15 boats and now looks like we will surpass that if the weather forecast holds true. We will continue to monitor it. I'm looking forward to Saturday.

Saturday Update
I just want to confirm that Saturday's fun run to Hamilton Harbor will go ahead as planned.
Some were wondering if we should move it to Sunday as it will be a bit warmer. Whether it is 69 deg Sat or 71 deg Sunday, jackets will still be required on the water. Another factor in keeping Saturday for the run is HH cannot accommodate us on Sunday, so Saturday it is. Sea conditions are not a factor as winds are fairly light with seas 2ft or less. Lots of sun in the forecast so we can peel our clothes off at Hamilton Harbor. LOL
So whether it is by boat or by car, come out for a great lunch with your FMO friends. The address is 1600 Danford St; Naples, FL 34102 Ph - 239-417-6717 http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...,0.087118&z=14

Hey Guys have a safe run.
Just you there is no confusion on Saturday, there is a group (15 or so) smaller outboard boats that are meeting on the inside of the sanible bridge by the Punta Rassa ramp and heading to cabbage key. We are suppose to be leaving at 10:30 but if we are running late I didn't want anyone to be confused.
See ya all on the next run!
