.. Usually this time of year, the flora & fauna is quite colorful.

Regarding Yolo, how does the owner get the motorcycle off the aft upper deck? I don't see a crane or any type of visible rigging, that would assist in getting it down to the ground???

Thanks, James. I've been very happy with the way the Nikon processes color. I like it bright and colorful, so I keep the vivid setting kicked up a notch.

Of course, the paint on Ken's boat makes it easy.

There's a winch on the boat for the bike and other toys. You can see it from this angle.

Anytime you are ready Rob. Always looking for an excuse to make a short getaway to KW. It is an easy 1.5 to 2 hr ride from Marco if straight shot or 2.5 hrs if we run the coast south to Marathon then along Hawk Channel to KW. Looking forward to your return to SW Florida and you joining us for some more FMO fun runs. Ken and Karen head back to MI tomorrow and I to ON. Back in FL in 10 days for our season opener.

Marc, always a pleasure with you, Hans and Jay. We will look forward to the diving trip out at the Dry Tortugas I promised you. That will be special as well.
You will not want to be where I will be this week. Flying back to CAN for 10 days and then returning. See you then.
Bob

Thought I would add just a few pics taken w my li'l point and shoot.

1) Bob, Jay & Marc as we idled out of Marco

2) Hans checking his e mail on arrival in KW. Proudly wearing his FMO hat !

3) Running a few miles south of Marco. Water was great.

4) Ken / Karen, Glen / Laurel in the OL. Weather in S Florida has been perfect this last week. Even low humidity which is a bit unusual.
