Bob, if the NT is still in FL what do you use when your home in Canada? I thought you took it home with you.

It's complicated. LOL The Nor Tech stays in Florida unless off to the Islands. I have a Formula 292 that stays in Canada at the cottage and is used on the smaller lakes and then a Donzi 38ZR that is used mostly on the Great Lakes. Donzi also goes to FL in winter so I'm not boatless in FL when NT is down in the Islands. Will go back and forth to Caribbean again in Feb - June like last year. Like I said, it's complicated and also a bit crazy.

1) & 2) Corals around the pilings.

3) The ferry to Key West left about an hour before us. We caught up and passed it about 20 miles out from Key West. That or the seaplane are great ways to get to and from the Dry Tortugas from KW if too rough for your boat.

4) Jay trying out the new harness he will use when shooting from a boat or helicopter to get extreme shots. Talk about a "Weekend at Bernie's" moment. LOL When Jay was hanging over the side to get that pic of the side of Team PREDATOR in motion we were a bit anxious. Had he gone overboard the Democrats on board wanted us to stop for him while the Republicans wanted to keep going. LOL ( joking, Jay LOL )

5) Group shot after breakfast at Pepe's before departute for Marco Island.

Sounds like you had a nice trip, Jim. We can do the Bahamas thing, I just need to figure out a good time. Also give some thought to shipping the Cigarette to St Thomas with me in Feb and I will show you around down in the Islands. An experience you will never forget. We will talk when I see you in November or sooner.

Thank you. I'm sure you have some amazing pictures of the Bahamas and interesting stories to go along with them. Nice to see OFF ( Old Farts Forever ) ( I think ) still getting together. While I hate to admit I am old, I probably do qualify in that sense.

Bob, thanks for sharing with all of us. I want to be you when I grow up.

You need to write a sport boat cruising memoir so that all of us Bob "wanna bees" can one day follow your steps.

Can't wait to see what you have instore next.
