Made It, No problems
 

The 900hp Chiefs never missed a beat, the idle is incredibly clean.

THATS IT FOLKS !
 

Back on the trailer, never a problem during the five days of running ! Mary and I can't thank Robert enough for allowing us to ride along and experience boating in the keys as few do. Great people , great places, great experience. Next year we're gonna bring WickedWon down but, I'M NOT GONNA TRY AND GET INTO SNAPPERS !!!


Thanks, Jim & Mary Deitz

As long as your part of the authorized tour I'm sure they will guide you in. Its the tag-alongs that get hung up....haha:D

WickedWon

What do you mean you're NOT going into Snappers? You've already been there. Now you KNOW how to do it. We just have to make sure that we are running on a high tide. We didn't stop at World Wide either, that's anothe one that can be a little fun, just ask Stinson (hehehehe). We did buzz by it, we just didn't stop. Then we never got to go to LoriLei's either, that's another fun one, but limited to four boats because of the tie-up. Again, thank you for all the pics and crewing the boat with me.

I didn't get a confirmed answer the other night from your lovely bride on the KW trip, but I gave her ya'lls options. It's a long way to Chicago to have to kidnap someone, so make it easy on me and just come with.

Only In The Keys
 

Another strange site while cruising back to Holiday Isle one evening ( I keep finding more pics) JD

Woops, I'll Try Again

Hey JD,
Great pics. It was really our pleasure to meet you and the rest of the gang. The saturday cruise of the keys was terriffic. and we were honored to have been invited along. I too am amazed at the way Robert and Mike get those big hogs around and such, but man do they ever.
Hope you all dodged the rain on Sunday. We got back fine and nary a drop.
Angela and I look forward to seeing you and Mary again soon.
Best,
Rice Hauler

I thought we waited long enough for the rain to be over Sun. morning, but on our way to Snappers we did get a little wet. Then we had a nice lunch and the rain was over and it was just chilly sailing after that. Had a GREAT time on Sat. and thanks for getting us into Hawks Cay.

Robert

Entering Hawks Cay
 

Speaking of Hawks Cay here's the Cigarette "gang" following us into Hawks. Rob, it's every bit as nice as you described it, definitely " family " oriented and yea we're gonna book Christmas vaca down their with the kids. Angela taking Mary on the "tour" really set the hook, do you split the finders fee with her?:D

BTW Went up to the Lake last weekend, the ice is over 3 inches thick in my boat well, ya might as well leave the Cig in FL till June:mad:

Meanwhile 1200 Miles North
 

The following Sat. ( March 1 ) I'm back at Lake Erie, man how can this be?

This is looking across a frozen Lake Erie from Marblehead to Kelly's Island last Saturday, and spring is here in 20 days ?

wickedwon: where in marblehead are you looks like shrock, or Misuricks (sp).

I can sure sympathize with you. On the 19th I was crusing up A1A from Miami to Lauderdale and that evening I was in KANKAKEE!.....AW CRAP!!!!...I`M STILL HERE!

Snappers
 

The Tonto / Snappers shot - hell yes - the best bloody mary's on the earth - BH (w/ P3-1)

Hey WickedWon, we are going to be at Hawks during Christmas season 12/26 to 12/30 The Kids love it! We bring our boat and a babysitter and head to Islamarada at night. 12/30-1/02/04 in Key West, Linda and I live in Ft Lauderdale but can't get enough of the Keys!

JD,
The pleasure was ours. As you could probably tell Angela and I love the place. And showing you all was just passing on what was shown so freely to us. The real deal is the villas especially for families or if you travel with another couple or two. check out the website www.hawkscay.com if you haven't yet you'll get the whole scoop.
As for the ice in your boatwell. if it does not thaw by spring you could probably convert Wicked Won to ice breaker duty right?
Best,
ROB..

Tonto
 

I'd be remiss if I didn't thank you for another steller leg in the big dog. As always, impressive.:D Thanks for your other offer, sorry I couldn't attend. You never called back to let me know how she ran? NK:cool:

Wickedwon It was great meeting you and your lovely wife. I appreciate the offer for June in Grand Haven. Please let me know as we get closer if that might work. Look forward to seeing you soon. NK

Stinson Nice no show dog :eek:

Rice Hauler and Freinds Thanks for the invite in the first place for Saturday. Thanks also for playing a little taxi. You are the man.:cool: NK
