SBI race, Clearwater raft up?
 

Who's going to watch the race on the water?
Check in, and let's find a spot for a raft up.
The more the better. :)

Stupid question but what day/time?

1st race starts at noon. I should be there around 11:30ish.

We will be there but in my buddies center counsol...

We will be there, leaving Anclote river at 10:30 , should be down at beach at 11:30 ... we can raft up !

If it floats ? just tie up. :)

Still on the fence about what to do. Will be down there for sure but leaning toward getting a room at the marriot and partying it up.

Nothing in stone though.

Will be on a tour boat to watch. Anyone that doesn't have a boat and would rather watch from the water let em know. $75 includes buffet lunch and unlimited beer.

Nate, I have watched from my boat and from the beach. Nothing like being right there on a boat.

Cruise boat
 

Can you please provide some details for the cruise boat?
Thanksa!

I am on the boat idea....GF wants the hotel room.

We said we will talk abouy it over the week and hopefully she sees it my way.

Check in Clearwater Municipal Marina 10 am. Depart 10:30. You can look them up at thetropicsboattours.com. She is doing $55 for lunch & 3 beers. I spoke to her about unlimited beer so she said she could for $20. If you call tell her you spoke with me, James.

Paradox Me and the crew will be there! You know it's always a good time when we all get together, for some reason you always end up licking a girl's toe :lolhit:

Here's proof lol

I agree nothing is better than being on the water when they come screaming by......

We've got a slip at Caladesi Island for the weekend. We should be rafting up in the spectator fleet somewhere at some time. We'll look for the OSO floatilla.

WTF, Peter?! :eek: :D

Don't ask Nick... It was my Sons BD, and we got stuck in the rain, inside the cuddy. Just goofing around.
Come and find us. I should be just North of the pier close to the entrence back to the Intercoastal.

Do I get any perks? you advertsisng on this thread?? :evilb:
(just kidding, it's ok)
Let us know where the party boat will be anchord, will try to be close by, just in case I need some ice cubes.

Nothing to do with me. I was considering going until I secured a boat for the day. Just a good deal, good boat, very nice owners and probably a lot of fun for someone who would otherwise be watching from the beach. I have done both and definitely prefer watching from boat. I will look for you guys to raft up.

This should be fun! :cool:

Should be a good race then, the boats will be getting some air.

Should make the run from south St Pete fun!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm lookin' forward to it. With winds straight out of the north most of the weekend it'll be a great run from St. Pete up to Clearwater.
:cool:

It'll make it interesting in the spectator area, though, with all the idiots dragging their anchor banging into one another.

I'll be heading South from New Port Richey, wind behind me. :)
Anyone wants a ride, let me know. I be driving to the race solo. Have planty room.

After seeing some of the pics from your previous adventures I have to ask- was that supposed to be "have panty room"? :eek:

Just kidding... should be a good weekend even with a little wind, last year was pretty windy and there was still a great turnout on Sunday. Think they guesstimated 2500 spectator boats last year.

Juat a little BD get together, what can I say? All in good fun. :evilb:
I will try to get a ballon in the air with OSO letters on it, if not, just look for the Avanti.

I will post what color ballon I got this PM.

:evilb:

Nick,

We are going to run up there as well in the Donzi. Email me your cell and I will buzz you once we arrive!
