I did a loop Sunday, I went out Stump Pass inlet north in the Gulf to Venice Inlet then north in the ICW to Nokomis bridge, did a u-turn and went south down the ICW from Nokomis to Boca Grande Pass(the southern inlet of Boca Grande) which I went back out to the Gulf then north in Gulf again, then through Gasparilla Pass back in in the ICW, then north to Englewood, FL —- AND I saw ZERO debris in the channel or areas of travel that other boats were traveling and I traveled (the ICW from south Nokomis to the Boca Grande Pass).

And I did not see any performance boats all day, I was suprised and disappointed by the lack of performance boat enthusiasts out on the water. I did see one large CC with quad outboards at the Boca Grande sandbar but no performance cats or V’s anywhere all day, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM

Around here they’re almost non existent until there’s an event to run in, otherwise it’s way easier to kick around in whatever ya got that’s low maintenance.

I do walk softly and with extreme caution when I am in the water though.

I don’t worry about debri while running though.

curious....how does your Aussie handle the heat down there year round? I have a 2 year old mini and have been curious if she could handle it.
