E-Dock Jacksonville Poker Run Picture Thread
 

I think between two cameras we have about 550 pictures and about 45 min of video. I wish like HELL we could have got some pictures of the fun run on friday. BLee, me, B's gf, deena and kevin got a wild, wet FLYIN ride in 6-8'ers! It was the time of my life!

Im just gonna start postin in the order i took them, may take a while!

Thanks to Jacksonville for hosting such a fun poker run. I know everyone had a blast! We got home about 8 a.m. this morning from a 22 hour drive home. No issues on the WAY HOME.. ;-)

Nice pictures, looks like a great time!

Which boat is yours?

...after lunch we all stopped by a party at pyburns place on the river for some swimming, awesome wings and burgers and some shti talkin:grinser010::drink::ernaehrung004:

mine was on the trailer back home. RBHudleston and I towed BLee's skater 368 from Edock down there. Its the blue/white/yellow skater named Hysteria.:ernaehrung004:

I got some amazing pics of Pyburns place but I hate postin pics of peoples homes without their permission. He can PM me if he wants them posted. The party was so much fun. Listening to everyone swap stories, talk horsepower and relive past poker runs was so much fun. You can really tell how passionate this group is about their hobby/lifestyle. I felt priveleged to be a part of it.

More wings..


One of the COOLEST, most laid back dogs you'll ever meet and a bunch of manatees. Bein from oklahoma, id only seen them on signs so I had to take a picture, hahaha..

:drink:

:cool:

Thanks again to EVERYONE for making this such a fun, memorable run. Cant wait til next year!

Keep'em coming, 51 Pics Posted, 499 to go.........:evilb:

Thanks for the Pics, looks like you guys had a good time.

it takes too long to post here with all the restrictions on size and resolution. theres about 1000 pics over at the other site.

what other site?

The water was THAT big on Fri?

on the way back after lunch on the friday run. \A lot of the big boats still hadnt even launched by that point. It was 2-3' on the way to lunch.. I thought my eyes were deceving me but BLee confirmed my pointing out a few, honest 9 and 10 footers inshore from where we were. We caught one that seemed like we were never going to land, most of them were swells that were off our starboard side in the shallows but they were there.. Im still sore. My shoulders and back are in knots! Anyone know a good chiropractor?:-)

believe what ya want, I saw em!

good seeing you again, Waterboy as well as all the E-Dock guys...are you guys coming down for Royal Purple...and thanks for getting a pic of my boat in there, another one for my archives.:ernaehrung004:

No problem. Always enjoy hanging out with you guys. Your wife is so funny, she got such a kick out of our "minor catastrophe" story sittin at the hotel bar. :eek:

Friday morning was bigger than the Coast Guard said. We went out about 30 minutes after everyone due to a Smartcraft malfunction we had to sort out. We saw honest 4-5 foot rollers with some 5 foot holes.

I believe some would call that 9-10s.

Seriously, its all in perspective.

well, i got picked on relentlessly about my claim of 6-8' from people who didnt make it out there. :grinser010:
But what do I know, The only true 8'er ive seen previously was coming out of the back of Jim Lee's carver on Grand:evilb:

I took the outside going to---saw 5-6' religiously and a few bigger--great run!!

Wait, wait, let me clairfy brother. The "cuts" were massive, which is par for the course because the current is generally ripping in or out. Port Everglades, Govt Cut, etc, all behave the same as the entrance we used due to depth. Those rougher parts were shallower water breaking. When I told you guys it was about to get big and to hold on, that was crossing the cuts we passed. You have to stay trimmed good, and higher than normal to prevent a stuff. However, it was so damn hot I wouldn't have minded a few sprays.

You definitely got a fun rough water experience in a cat. There was no one out there on the way home, and the way there and back was like driving a dune buggy. :sport009:

It was a great trip. Glad we are converting more people every year. :cool:

ahhh, that was what i was trying to say, just didnt know all the terminology I guess. Whatever the hell it was, it was the time of my life. It was the only time ive felt adrenaline come back in my system in years! fast is fun, high speeds are fun, turns are fun... BUT flyin and skatin in big water, thats what got my hair on end! Thanks again bro!

Thanks for sharing

What a great event and venue.
So much fun seeing Jassman, Stu, Sydwaz and other old friends and meeting new one like Cashbar, David Woods and others.
Thursday night at the hotel lobby bar was a hoot. Laughed so much and drank even more.
Oh and how could I forget the "shark show" at the marina in Ferdindina Beach on Fridays lunch run..better than Seaworld.
The run offshore that morning was fun but some accounts may be like "this is 6 inches"form of measurements.
the rollers were nice with the occasional SURPRISE..5 foot hole.
One hellava weekend that will be done over and over again in years to come.:evilb:

B Lee knows how to run the big water. He is the only guy that I know that can keep up with Jim Lee with 10 foot less of a boat in big water. I wish I knew how to load video of Brandon running in the Chicago Poker Run last year.

Looks you guys had a blast. Great pics.
