Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

There's a Poker run? Well if there is still room after insptech has got a seat in a boat then I would love to see how a US Poker Run goes in real life - they are a little smaller and slower in the England! Arriving on the 14th and leaving on the 24th and staying at the Doubletree the other side of the airport - I know its the other side of the island but they had room!

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Giddy up. :evilb: :evilb: :evilb:

welcome anytime...I boat in Lake Erie. we have plenty of Poker Runs. Let me know when your ready and we'll set ya up.


:drink: :drink: :drink:

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

I would be happy to give up a seat to you cookee. After your accomplishments this year and being your first time-you deserve it. Hopefully we can hook up for a drink in KW or at the poker run lunch stop at Gilbert's :drink:

I would love to do it this year, but if not the wife and I will take a lazy ride down the Keys on Tuesday, stop for Stone Crab, and then hit the docks for the PR arrival at dusk :D

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Cookee, If you try you could probably get a seat I will even start pimpin for you :D I think you said you get in on Monday or Sunday if so you will have to either hang out in Miami for a few days or return back. It always seems a majority of the oso members do the run on Thursday, which does not give you as much time in KW. Then there is the chance the boat your ride on could break down and that becomes another story, right Greeneyed Boatbabe :D

Ted what time do you get in on Tuesday, Ian and I get in around noon and then will drive down, where do you stop for the stone crabs, any good places for Grouper for some reason I have been craving that

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

just an f.y.i........
You can't beat Islamorada Fish Co. in Islamorada for any seafood, but just had the best grouper sandwich EVER at Cabot's in Marathon last night, and I've been here 18 years.
Keys Fisheries in Marathon gets the same stone crabs as Monte's, Joe's in Miami and Islamorada Fish.
Have fun getting to KW.......pd

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Danny - Thats a fantastic offer - sadly my only visits to the US in the near future are KW and Miami for the Boat show in February!

insptech - I couldn't take your seat - but if there's an extra one going put me on the list! It would be great to have a drink with you - just let me know where and when!

Ms PatriYacht - I arrive on Monday 14th - direct to Miami and then a connecting flight down to KW - I then have a hotel booked (the Doubletree) till the 24th which is the Thursday after the races - give me a chance to hang around a bit and chill before coming back to cold England! I assume the trip is based in SoBe not KW then? Maybe I should wait 'till the Boat Show Poker Run then?

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Cookee
The Florida Power boat Club has three KW poker runs during race week, they all leave from the Miami area and are One Way, from Miami to KW. The first one leaves Tuesday, then Thursday, then Friday. So if you want to do the poker run, and I think it would be well worth it, your best bet would be to cancel your hotel reservation on Monday in KW and stay in Miami near wear the boats leave from. The poker run would be your transportation to Key West, in lieu of a rental car.


Oh bummer, I just reread your post and see you are flying direct that might be hard to change.

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

We are arriving in Ft Lauderdale on Friday night. We are staying there and visiting, chilling, etc. till Tuesday then we drive/ride down. If you all want to cruise together we could do that. I like Islamorada Fish for Stone Crab and there is also a place called the Hungry Tarpon right next to Robbie's that has great fresh fish.

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Ted that would be fun, but we don't arrive in Miami until noon. You might already be on your way. I would like to make a few stops though one for lunch and then another for a drink.
This year I am traveling on the plane with Mr P, last year I flew to Miami for the weekend and he came in on Wednesday only he missed the early morning flight and arrived in Ft Lauderdale at 5 PM and his luggage went to Miami! I was not a happy camper :( This year I am not chancing it, I am driving him to the Detroit airport :D

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Anyone wants to drive dually and trailer setup from Ft-Lauderdale to Key West??? I'm sure I can trade something for that service...

No boat however....

Experienced and known OSOer's only need apply.... :D:D:D

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Is Ms.P bringing the avatar bathing suit? http://members.aol.com/melizards/ima...in%20smile.gif

:D:D:D

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

What day? Ian pulls a Black Thunder weekly so that Cig of your's would be piece of cake, oh that's right you said no boat, that makes it even easier. If you can get it to Miami around noon on Tuesday it could be a possibility.

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Noooooooo, not me to old, and the way I have been feeling I might be wearing a tarp :eek:

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

When is it going back up??

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

He is probably going to pull his boat in KW and take his boat and group home by land.

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

We'll be putting in the water Thursday 17th in Ft-Lauderdale (rig can go from then) and pulling back Sunday/20th night or Monday/21th early...

You can come back with us...

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Sorry we will be in Key West by then, otherwise it would have worked and saved us a rental car fee. Cause in Key West we don't need no stinkin car, it's scooters babeeee :D

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

Not to knock G.L. but if he cant have his set up in Miami by Tuesday at noon .. mine will be ready for the haul down. Im basically looking for the same thing. My truck and boat are already down there and Ill be in town on that Monday night

Take G.L. first if he is down there but if not im ready.

Bob

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?

Re: Key West 2005 Who's going?
 

GL,

We fly into Ft. Laud. on Thursday, we were going to rent a car. If we can put a plan together to get back to the airport on Tuesday morning maybe we can work something out. Give us a call either at home nights and weekends or work during the week, Peter knows how t o reach us. We will be at the Marina during the weekend closing things up Maybe one last lunch at the Turtle on Saturday.
