Had to cut a sea turtle from a trap.
We ran the inercoatsal up to Venice and ran back south in the gulf , Whan some people on a pontoon boat flaged us over. There was the bigest turtle you have ever seen, He was all tangled up and fixing to drownd. When me and Bill pulled him up by the rope he took a big breth of air and just floated there till we got him loose. You dont realize how masive them thing are till you have to pull one up. I cant think of what would happen if you hit one with a drive, It take the hole thing off the boat.

It was in a crab trap. The way it was tangled The waight of the trap was pulling it under.
Running up the inside is real nice if you have time. there are a few no wake areas but nothing bad. we took are time and it maby took 90 min. Let me know when and we will plan a ride.

Who says us go fast guys don't slow down to help nature? We may be loud and sometimes obnoxious but we do care about the places we live and ride....good job Tom. I hereby reccommend Velocity Tom for the most prestigious "OSO Member of the month" award for his heroic efforts. All in favor.....?
