Key west here we come!Im actually thinking of stopping at this awesome waterside spot near Boot key in Marathon called Burdines...hands down best French fries in the world! also give you free koozies with your beer. I'm definitely making a pit stop there on Wednesday! I was of the understanding though that they serve the beer in the Koozies, and get added to the bill if you keep them. |
Hurricane Eta, winds 150 mph heading for Key West early next week...........
From FPC's site:FPC management is well-aware of Hurricane ETA which is currently tracking westbound towards Central America. Various hurricane models report a possibility of this storm turning back towards the Gulf of Mexico several days from now, so we are monitoring this situation continuously. Currently there are NO PLANS to change or postpone any part of the KEY WEST Poker Run Agenda, but this FPC Homepage will be updated by the day, as new information is available. Please refrain from calling the FPC office as our phone lines are at maximum capacity for staff. |
Pffffff.... hurricane? no worries. They ran worse waters in the movie Speed Kills....
|
Can i be the first to say it would be like a typical Sunday on Lake Mead. :coolcowboy:
|
Mother nature douching the streets clean before we get there is all.

Unless you live up in the northern gulf area, I think they are sick of hurricanes this year!

Tropical storm ETA is now aiming directly at Key West for Tuesday..............65 mph winds shouldn't be terrible but the pics will have cloudy water/debris might be in the water.

White tee shirts on ladies it is then |
Storm is curling up towards Tampa, I'd bet not too many folks run down the west coast to Miami to start.
Weather channel is calling for 2-4 ft storm surge in Key West (that seems extreme for a storm that is aiming for the middle of the keys). https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at...start#contents |

The storm will be in the North FL area by Friday more than likely. Be a little bumpy but should be just fine for everyone
|
Don't get me wrong because I love them but it's going to be a little bumpy for the smaller cats with egg beaters.
|
All the way to Marathon should be not too bad. Then pop out to the Atlantic side and the keys will protect from the Gulf waves. Or just pop out at Islamorada/Key Largo
I'm looking forward to it but the MTI group only going to Marathon on Thursday |

I'm looking forward to it but the MTI group only going to Marathon on Thursday This is 250 miles from Key West and about 325 miles from the storm and look how miserable it is: Jupiter Inlet Webcam The rain has been miserable for 5 days in a row! With the storm hovering 80 miles from Key West it will suck if it doesn't move on today. |
In Atlanta airport on the way. Tomorrow will be an interesting ride down.

If you lived on my Coast and planned to take the boat down to the keys via the Gulf, that might be a bad idea. |

We here, been nice enough all day but stayed raining tonight
|
Coming right over me today/tonight, still headed out in the morning
|
My ass should have been having breakfast at Pepe’s this morning. I am worthless and weak...

Cool pics Tank!
Look at the palm trees at Gilberts, they are blowing hard! That must have been a sh!t show docking in that wind. Nice day for a 450 NT or 59 Tiranna with 20K lbs+ and a windshield! Open boats/small cats not so much! It might make for some good pics if the chopper could fly today, hope it was a safe ride for all. |
Fizzling out before reaching full Mead intensity.

Water at Haulover ramp is a little high. Glad Brad already had the boat in the water. Had a nice lunch in the Miami river. A big thanks to Brad, Troy, and Steve for making this happen. We are doing the poker run tomorrow. Looks like the weather will lay down a little and be a good run.
