I like the dude on the far left just chillen. He looks like he just smoked a doober and is hoping they are stopping sometime soon for a angry whopper.

I hang out frequently with those old guys on T-dock, and know quite a few from down on the river. Those T-dockers got 20-30 years on me, and I still hit the Vberth long before they do! Maybe you recognize these two guys....
Yep I know dem guys

What about Streetlife or ol DILLIGAF sat in the river before the lock

And on your topic, put me in the Apache. Saccenti on the throttles, of course!
We need to have R'Addiction post the videos from the Thunder Run a few years back up on YouTube. Specifically, he needs to post the one where I have an argument with my 'other' passenger about our navigation path. Clark was 100' feet away and his 37' was disappearing from view as we took turns cresting.

We always find the roughest water once we make the turn in Miami and head north.



Is it spring yet?

Thanks. I remember when Jimmy took that. I was gonna post that vid. That is nasty! Looks close to my last trip out there. Same cut and when idling out we were stuffing the bow about a foot down into the next wave. Think we lasted maybe 20-30 min and said F that we gotta go back.
