Finally in Tampa!
 

Ok, Ok, only for those who care or have been following my year-long saga of gettin out of Jersey.

Finally moved in a couple weeks ago, got the boat at Home Port Marina, and just finished cleaning it up. Have not splashed it yet... bought a new C-MAP chip to keep it off the rocks.

Now I have to look all you guys up in the area that have been giving me pointers.

I thought I would miss 'Jersey, but I have to tell you, it's kinda hard when its Dec. 21 and 75 degrees and sunny.

Good luck down there shooter! My sis just moved down there about 8 months ago. New Hyde Park. She's actually coming up to NJ today for Christmas! I get down there quite often.....heck, free room.....sun.....rough choice, huh? I hooked up with a bunch of Donzi guys down there and they showed me Shell Island.....very cool spot.

Enjoy the sun !

I'll bet if you were there during the hurricanes you'da missed Joisey :p

Seriouly though , I've been down there many times between Thanksgiving and Christmas and it's really neat buying Christmas tree wearing shorts :cool:

Matter of fact, I bought my house during hurricane Jeanne.

Thanx Mike, I'm off the next two weeks and looking to go out for the first time. Sticking to the channel markers to start.

Too bad it's supposed to rain the next couple days... been sunny for the last week or so. That's my luck.
