Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

I just got my boat (26 Scarab / 575hp Chief) and have been looking for information about the Columbus Day Regatta. I've never been to it before.
Is anybody going?
Whats the deal?

Can someone post a map of were it is, & the closest boat ramp ?

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

Black Point Marina is the closest ramp, or Key Biscayne.

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

If you've ever rafted up on a holiday weekend at a popular lake then that's what it's like x's 100. It's fun, but nothing TOO special.

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

I,ll be there Sat-Sunday

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

It's a blast, but the hottest woman I've seen are still in the pics from Havasu..... :D

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

someone has to be my guide.... the lil injun party boat will be ready!!!

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

Sounds cool! We'll be plopping the boat in the water somewhere Saturday. If anybody wants to make a plan I'm game.
I would imagine that boat ramps might be crazy crowded. Does anybody have any advice on that?

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

you have no idea best advice get to the marina at like 7 AM unless you want to be waiting in line for like 2-3 hrs no lie

Mike

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

your best bet is to do like me, find a place to leave overnight so that you can enjoy all weekend. That way you can just sleep in and just jump in and go at any time, when you get tired just come back jump in your car and call it a day, or till the next day atleast. I usually put in @ 4:00 P.M. friday and take out Monday....No lines, no hassles with authorities and drunk people parking and ENJOY THE WHOLE WEEKEND OF PARTING AND BOATING........

Keep it safe and if your driving, DONT DRINK!!!!! THERE WATCHING..........................

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

so who's up to running together on sat

Mike

Re: Columbus Day Regatta South Florida
 

count me in... anyone that wants to leave from Ft Lauderdale let me know and we can all leave from here. You can leave a boat in the water overnight here if you want.
