Clearwater will be a go for sure. We did ok over here and actually they have really started to market it this week. Plan clearwater to be ok and as usual

Awesome! Will be at Opal Sands. Not sure if our room will have a view of the course but that's not a huge concern.

You will see turn 1 and 2 as well as they come out to the race right in front of opal sands just feet away.

By far the best hotel on the beach with unblocked waterfront view of the sunset at their tiki bar, you will love it!

Thanks. Spent last Thanksgiving there. Agree on the tiki bar view!

I have enjoyed going to KW for a combination of Races and Poker Run for the past decade., and personally booked all my lodging and travel last winter....

Another thought..

Looking at the current disaster as it exists, ( lack of fuel, food , water, housing, electric, food, workers, and ect) it is going to be a long stretch to think that it is even humanly possible to host such an event in 7 week.

There are many people, (that lived in the Keys), that have lost everything in there lives. They need substantial amount of time, and support to rebuild there lives before anyone can expect them to care about a group of powerboaters, coming to there community for events

The infrastructure , community medical support, hospital staff, and general services need to be established to support the locals before any island guests.

Maybe the "true champions" in boating, will be the ones that make the donations and sacrifices to help the families in need to rebuild there lives.

It will be a while before there is some semblance of order there it's absolutely devastating from the pictures that I've seen, there is so much work to be done and rebuilding of property and their way of lives

. please donate asap https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-n...e-florida-keys

Why not set up a gofundme account were us way up north can give donations to further your efforts

There are ton of go fund me accounts, I have people shipping stuff to our shop via Amazon and I will be truckin it down. 7555 garden rd Riviera Beach fl 33404

When are you trucking down south, what do you think they need most, and do you have a loading dock?

A girl I went to HS with moved to the keys a few years ago but evacuated back here before the storm. She's heading back this weekend and has been asking for donations to take back. Water was one of them.......I bought a whole pallet they are loading on a trailer someone lent them for the trip.


BTW: I've never been to KW and this summer was thinking this might be the year I finally make it down there (maybe not now )
