Boating in Dec.
 

Went for a nice ride today with some friends of mine from Naples . Just four an hour. We took out my 24 Skater with 200's. I ran a set of a 14.5x32 3 blade cleavers. We race 95 with 3 of us wich was pretty fast for my boat. We ran up Sarasota bay and out Coquina channel, down LongBoat to Siesta Key. It was 1-3 on the outside but still nice. Just a quick little ride but always fun!
I love Florida!

Auh.....cry me a river.... I wasn't trying to make anyone jealous....oh wait yes I was! Too Old you know you are welcome in my neck of the woods ANYTIME for a boat ride!

Hi Ryan,

It was in the high 60's today in Vegas, with crystal clear blue skies. My only problem is my 40' slip at the LasVegas Bay Marina is EMPTY!! I'm boatless for the moment, but that will be changing. Hope you had a great day on the water. I usually boat year round on Lake Mead.

50s, 60s, hell I woke up and the bay was frozen behind my house.

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I don't want to hear that **** Fred. It was suppose to be in the 40's yesterday but never made it! High was 38, low last night was 23. The fog here is terrible. Everything has a glaze of ice on it.

We will be hooking up to the 36 in a couple of hours and heading south. Just wish I was doing some boating instead of delivering the boat for repairs.

Take care Mark

I hear that Ron

Smitty almost had to call the coast guard in to break the ice leading to the travelift so he can get the rest of the boats out.

I havent seen the bay frozen in a long time. Then again Im not generally down there this time of year either.

My dock area is froze already. We may get a hi of 29 today.

I must say, Ryan...The wather was simply boat perfect this weekend. It was fun! :D:p:cool:

For what it's worth I got to wash the duelly today without water freezing on it!

South for the winter
 

Doc Holiday, and the rest of the guys, I think I'll head south. Just got power back at 6pm this evening. Has been out since 6:30am on thursday due to the ice storm. Florida's looking better by the minute.

Weekend
 

Went out at 2-00pm this afternoon, cruised up the ICW, water is cold, motor took forever to warm up. +- 70 outside air temp, totally awesome. Did't see many boats out today. Move to Florida!
Gotta love it....too hell with that white snow stuff:(

I am soooooo jealous!! When I got up this A.M., it was a high of 13. WOW. It's time to move so I can enjoy boating year round;) :cool:

Just sent you a Christmass present ,(hint: you'lle have some more gas money);) since We did'nt find you while in Key West......Merry X-mass . Bill. BTW my grandparents used to live on Longboat Key ! What great memoriies there ! Happy Boating, I'm off to finish studding my snowmobile track LOL. See ya:)

Bill, to think that 2 1/2 weeks ago I was in KW...80 degrees, buzzed, happy!!! Now it is in the 30's for a high!!! Save me a spot Florida i'm heading down for good!!!:( :D

I HEAR THAT !!! The lucky bastage's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D

I'm going out now. Sunny and nice after a hell of a rain yesterday. New (older) little 24 Pantera with 2 -2.5 Mercs. Just got it and now the weather is great. Going to send it to Germany for sale after a little thrashing. Anyone else have one of these? This little bastard hauls ass. Hope it gets above freezing up north today guys.:p

EHHHHHH....stop beatin on us

ahhh come on just having a little fun. Plus a couple of my Joisey friends that live here now always have to tell me how Joisey is the best place in the world to live. I laugh every time I here this crap, as a native I say, then why did you move ? he he he, Gotta go, girls just got back from the store with full beer cooler and sandwiches, time to lower boat in the water. 76 on the thermometer out on the lift :D

You guys in the Carolinas had a pretty rough week,we've had storms like you guys had a few times up here and it's not much fun.

The more you guys from down in Fla. bust our frozen asses, the more I think about movin too

Ryan , whats up dude, are you coming over for the Toys for Tots Run this weekend ?

No Mike I am racing BMX on Sat and going to NYC for 4 days on Sun. Are you getting ready for St Cloud yet?

Boatnut,

Do you know of any covered slips available at LV/Hemmingway or Calville?? the boating on Mead is great year round we will be out either new years eve or new years day..its kind of turned into a tradition.

I just came back from charlotte/lk norman/ lk wyle(sp?) What a disaster it was up there. I went up there towing 25k gen with a couple other guys towing too from work to help restore service to the folks up there. Looks like a great place to boat, and the irish que was quite a trip! But i'm glad to be back in WARM FLA! Now where did i put the boat keys....:cool:

I'm gonna try like hell , got alot of projects going on over here, right after the first of the year I'm gonna do a little work on the boat so It will be down for a few months, I should be back in the water by race time, have a super holiday season and keep that boat right side up!!!:D
