Florida Powerboat Club Getting Biggest Air Yet
 

With high seas and strong winds forecasted for Thursday, FPC members will take to the air rather than the water for their trip to Cuba, http://www.offshoreonly.com/articles...iggest-air-yet.

Damn that sucks

Smart move.

I guess there lucky there not called the Offshore club :) But in all seriousness why not plan this trip a month later in the summertime when the wind and water lay down here in the south , they take jet ski's to the Bahamas in the summertime here the ocean is like a lake

So it's supposed to be like Loto?

That sucks. We've had to cancel runs in the past because the Pacific ocean kicked up to 8+ footers and winds 25+ mph. That boating is ZERO fun. A nice wind chop and bit of swell is fun. Huge water and wind? No thanks. Kinda gotta roll the dice when you plan this stuff this far out. Sounds like Stu is taking care of his peeps and earning his money to make it all good ;)

I went on a bunch of FPC runs long ago and most of the fun is not on the boat! Have fun in Cuba.

That's a bummer, we were in the keys last weekend and the water and weather were perfect!

The wind is blowing today in the West palm area ,

" SMALL CRAFT SHOULD EXERCISE CAUTION "


TODAY
EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS WITH GUSTS TO AROUND
30 KNOTS. SEAS 3 TO 5 FEET WITH OCCASIONAL SEAS TO 6 FEET.
PERIOD 5 SECONDS. INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED AREAS. A
SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS IN THE MORNING...THEN A CHANCE OF
SHOWERS AND A SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON

After seeing some of the damage on the NJ powerboat club's trip to Bimini (45 miles across).......definitely not worth it to run 90 miles across with worse conditions. Imagine one boat breaking and then having to drag it along or try to assist in 3-5's and the gulfstream running 5-6 mph north
