After lunch, I went over to the bridge to get some shots of the boats as they left the harbor... I wasn't quite fast enough to catch the first ones out. :(
Here's what I got:

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Once again - thanks for more great pics Jay. Sorry you had to cut lunch short to get to the bridge for those pics.
I can just see the calls to 911 when you stopped your car on the Sunshine Skyway and went to the guard rail. - We have a jumper , we have a jumper !! LOL :D

They usually have a trooper stationed on top, I am suprised you were able to get those shots! Great pics though!

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Verry cool shots !

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Excellent!! Wow those are great!!! :cool:

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

The road ranger pulled up 5 seconds after I got there but didn't bother me so I guess nobody cared. It is a loooong way down to the wawa from up there! Anyone jumpin is on a one way trip.

Pix are much better when shared, so here are some more from the day.

This one deserves his own thread...

The end!

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Outstanding pix ! Awesome !

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Any more pictures of that big black old-school V with the teal looking 3 pack ?
Is that an old Larry Smith Scarab ?

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Awesome pictures. What Poker Run was this and when was it? I boat all over Tampa Bay and have not heard of Tampa Yacht Club...were is it?

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

The Tampa Yacht Club is the Rattlefish

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Looks like posts 10 and 13 (last pic in both posts) that kids are driving the boats on dad's lap! That is a great idea in a poker run! Does PRA have that in the rule book? :eek:

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Steve took his SBRT sticker off, the boat looks like $hit now. :evilb:

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

OK, thanks! I go to Rattlefish 2-3 times a month and never new it's called Tampa Yacht Club.

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Mike,
From what I hear, the Tampa Yacht Club bought (or owned) the whole property. They are building a new dry stack and condos. The dry slips will be owned not rented and the Rattlefish will be closed to the public and open for members only :mad: It would be a nice place to keep my boat but the prices are ridiculous

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

Actually I think they do, but since I know the guy in the Cig with his girlfriend riding shotgun I know she hardly qualifies as a kid. Can't speak about the other boat. These may have been some of the boats that were DQ'd.

Same deal as someone riding on the engine hatch at speed while out in the ocean that I have seen photos of at other events. Not wise no matter what the rules are.

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

CR,

The Cig I was looking at was a 42 Yellow/Blue stripe and the pic has a huge guy sitting in the passneger bolster (shotgun as I would call it) and the driver looks like he is sitting with a kid on his lap. It could be possble that it is a woman standing in front of him but either way it is real tight and not what I would want to see running next to me at 60+ mph. I think PRA has the right idea with the safety requirements like PFD's etc.

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

great pictures man, :cool: but boy is it depressing for this way upnorth guy that has to look and drool and only dream of that chit :(

Re: Sarasota Lunch Stop and A View From The Bridge
 

OK, I lied. :D

I got a few more... after looking through the pile again last night, I decided these boats look way too nice to keep to myself.

Cosmic- sorry bout your geographical difficulties. If you arent too busy on Thanksgiving weekend, come on down... Ft Myers Offshore is planning a little fun run on Saturday... we can make room for one more! :drink:
