I would like to thank Larry and Brad for making last weekend happen. I use to race and now poker runs. The opportunity to do both in one weekend was a fantastic opportunity for all boaters!! It was a GREAT weekend and I cant begin to tell everybody of all the great times had by all!! Thanks again!!! Jim Lee

Jim- every time I saw you there was a huge smile on your face! You are a fun-lovin', talent-finding machine. :drink:

Looking forward to the next time we meet.

Thanks! We had an absolute blast.

This unique event was so much fun from start to finish that it's hard to describe it all to anyone who wasn't there.
All of you who worked so hard to make it happen deserve a ton of credit for creating an offshore boating event like no other. :ernaehrung004:

Thanks again for the hospitality.

What a weekend! Brad and larry really hit it out of the park. I still can't believe the turnout. With all the bumps they had along the way, with OSO backing out with days left, things were looking a little rocky. All I can say it was the ones that didn't show that really missed out. Thank you again for a most memorible weekend!

You said it, Gino!
And Lori and I have a ton of pix to show em what they missed. :drink:

A few more from Sunday and an aerial of the park:

Thank you again to everyone you came and supported this year’s event. Larry and I and the entire team are very grateful.

If you did not attend you have no idea what was missed. From Thursdays VIP welcome in the penthouse of the Sayan with Miss Florida, TV stars, NFL Greats and race boat legends new and old.

The Bimini Ocean Race brought speed and the pics to prove racers and performance pleasure boaters can run together!

Friday’s party was incredible with a great band and what can only be described as the greatest Rock themed swimsuit show ever. With the band playing Crazy ***** extended long play version. Betty Bangs girls absolutely brought it!

Saturday 17 Boats ran to Jimmy Johnsons Big Chill, relaxed in the pool great food great people in what was described as a true recreational boating event.

Saturday Night's party was another example of only the best spirited group ever and Sunday’s racing brought some thrills no one could have expected.

The pictures only tell part of the story and they are some of the greatest ever.

Brad, the times on "to fat to fly "is wrong according to what was writen down on the time sheet on friday. To Fat To Fly was mixes up with miccosukee

That's my job!!!!:chimp: Look forward to seeing you again Jay!
