I have seen no news on the St Pete CG approvals yet... :( I'm still holding on to my reservations in hopes they will get St Pete approval.. |

Yes, they are talking about the Huron race. And they told you that they got their CG permit two weeks prior to the race. Where were the "concerned citizens" in this case?

For reasons I don't want to discuss in an open forum, you want to stay as far away as possible from my phone.

Re: Book your rooms for the St. Pete OSS race!
So where is the best place to stay?

A couple of racers got into a fight in the Vinoy lobby back in 1999 or 2000. I can't remember who it was though...... |
Re: Book your rooms for the St. Pete OSS race!
The Fish and Game commission have officially recommended against the coast guard approval for a powerboat race in Tampa bay. Is the CG going to approve the race against the commissions recommendations?

Re: Book your rooms for the St. Pete OSS race!
I stayed at the Holiday Inn in 2000 for the race. The Vinoy was good because it was right there. It should be pretty warm there in the end of June. The Vinoy might be a better choice.
Good bars I can't remember the names of. I am looking forward to this year. pat W |
