My friend Juile and I are heading over tomorrow. I will be promoting Tres Martin's Performance boating school. This a a great way for all you performance boaters to save on insurance, and a great way for those with 125mph boats to get insurance. Not to mention you will learn a lot and its fun!
Looking forward to seeing everyone.

If there's a way to make a 26 hour trip longer, they may have just found it.

Forecast is much better for Sunday: 3 to 5's.

Do they have a "rain-date?"

Do they ever change the planned course, due to sea conditions?

A run north, inside, up Sarasota Bay into Tampa Bay would probably be only half as rough. And the macho-men could go outide either north or south, if they want to prove something. (Not sure if the tow-boats can get to them quickly in 6 to 8's.)

Of course, changing the lunch-stop could be difficult at this late date.

I suppose they could stick with the planned route, and give folks the option of going down to South Seas plantation inside, but with all of the manatee zones and speed limits, it's hardly a real poker-run. And it would take hours longer.
