I can only imagine how rough it was for them on Sunday. The wind was kicking here in Tampa bay. I stayed in the bay and they were calling for 3-5 waves with a small craft advisory. I don't know exactly how big they were but it definitely looked like 2-4 with an occasional 5 footer. I was very surprised at how well my 30 concept handled it. Kudos to everyone that made the trip I bet those ocean swells were not fun.

Thanks Pete for the picture of my New Boat, it was a hell of a trip with a lot of damage to a lot of the Club members and their boats!! I stayed until Tuesday morning for gentler seas and ran home with a Coast Guard Helo following me, apparently I should of turned my VHF on!!! LOL
Rubber Ducky was waiting for me when I entered Ft Lauderdale inlet. Safety Check and I was on my way!!
Great Weekend!!

Saw you out at Whiskey Joes a couple weeks back on a Sunday. Was driving by (in car), boat looked good!
