Before we get to the details on the fun run we would like to bring everyone up to date on a couple changes to the FMO Board. We have some new board members. The current FMO board is made up of Eric Belisle, Meghan Brousseau, Tim and Cyndee Hill, Bill Forenski, Troy Schirk and Nick Amelio

General Information: We will return to the new Naples Hyatt House on the Gordon River bordering downtown Naples.

Attending Captains will need to read the information below.

This fun run is free of charge to paid up FMO members and there is no event fee

Registration: To register for this club event Captains can e mail us at [email protected], post on our event thread on OffshoreOnly.com (OSO) or let us know on our Facebook group page.

Start time: 11:00 AM from the our usual place on the south side of the Sanibel Bridge.

Departure time from Hyatt House after our lunch and social time will be at your leisure.

Membership renewal: If you have not yet renewed your membership for 2018, now would be a good time to do so as we are now into a new year. Please go to our website at www.ftmyersoffshore.com and complete the online form or download and mail it in. Please note that to participate in FMO events you must be a paid up club member and your boat must be insured. If your insurance has recently renewed or if you have a different boat please e mail your current info to [email protected]


Route: From the Sanibel Bridge we will start behind Eric Belisle’s MTI which will be the pace boat. We will run a coastal course south that will take us past Bonita Beach, past the Naples high rise buildings and just 2.75 miles past the Naples pier you will come to Gordon Pass. The coordinates for Gordon Pass are 26/05/44 N; 81/48/82 W. It is recommended you follow the pace boat or someone with local knowledge up the ICW to downtown Naples as there is a short idle zone just inside Gordon pass and also idle before you get to the Naples City Docks. After idling past Tin City and under the US 41 bridge, turn right and you will see the Hyatt come into view a few hundred yards along.

Dockage: As is the case with all venues please have fenders and lines ready. Be prepared to raft off as docking is limited.

Fuel / Distance: The distance from the Sanibel Bridge to the entrance of Gordon Pass is 30 miles. All boats are urged to leave with sufficient fuel, particularly if you use high octane fuel that is hard to get. 90 octane fuel can be obtained at either Hamilton Harbour Marina inside Gordon Pass off the ICW or Naples City Docks on Naples Bay.

Food: The Hyatt will be serving us a buffet lunch. They will be setting us up on the outside patio next to the pool


Waypoints:
Sanibel Bridge: N 26 29 00; W 82 00 88.

Gordon Pass ( Naples ): N 26 10 40; W 81 49 00.

Weather / Sea Conditions: to be posted on our OSO Ft. Myers Offshore forum 5 days in advance and updated if there are changes in the forecast referencing The Weather Channel as well as NOAA Marine Weather.

Safety: Each boat captain is required to operate his/her vessel in a safe manner and is responsible for his/her crew and their safety. When running in the ICW please be aware that this can be a high traffic area and we ask that other boats be given a wide berth and that the rules of the road be adhered to. As always please no alcohol for the captains. Our event is concluded upon reaching our lunch destination. Everyone can leave when they are ready

I got the flu and have been down the last few days. Unfortunately I will not be able to make the run. Everything is set up with Hyatt. They have docks available and are looking forward to having everyone. With the cooler temps they will have the buffet set up inside. Seating will be available inside or outside. Forecast shows sunny skies with a high of 65 and only a 30% chance of rain after 4pm which will not be an issue

After reviewing the weather and the wind and the extremely low tide in my canal, I am sorry to say that Paul and Sue
will not be able to make the run to the Naples Hyatt in the Renegade. See you all on the next run in March.
Paul
