The late departure puts us down there kinda late to spend a decent time there. I've got an evening gig so I've been waived off. Might go out and waive if y'all come through Haulover. If anybody feels like it, give me a call or shoot me a text message: (three oh 5) sleven 1 Zero 7 six six 4.
I'm headed to the Cove tonight to see what's going on there, and may end up in Deerfield for the races Sunday.
I've got to get into the local OSO events and meet everyone.
Thanks,
Michael

Bad News from CDR:
Boating accident near Miami kills college student, injures seven others

KEY BISCAYNE -- Two boats collided on the first day of South Florida's annual Columbus Day regatta, killing a 20-year-old college student and leaving seven others seriously injured, authorities said.
Monica Burguara, 20, of Miami, died about 9 p.m. Saturday when the boats collided near the Rickenbacker Causeway between Miami and Key Biscayne, said Jorge Pino, a spokesman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.
Of the seven other people on the boat with her, four were in critical condition and three others were in serious condition when they were transported to area hospitals, Pino said.
Authorities were still piecing together details of the crash Sunday.
Pino said one boat was towing two other boats in a line. Burguara was in the middle boat on the tow line. A fourth boat apparently came from behind, missing the last boat in the tow line and colliding with the boat Burguara was aboard, Pino said.
Hundreds of boaters were on the water this weekend during the annual Columbus Day regatta.
