Hope to move my boat down to Fl next year, store it some where near Boca.
On some of Jay's pics where you see the boats lined up it was in a section between Cape Coral and Pine island called Matlacha where we ran in single file for about 15 miles. It is a well marked but little used waterway has lots of twists and turns with some 180 degree switchbacks. We do that once each year at high tide and it requires that we have our wits about us. Lots of fun.

So that is what that means. I thought it had something to do with getting older.

Jay, those are amazing shots. I have no idea how you get some of them. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Bob and the rest of the crew for putting on the event. Looking forward to events in the future and getting to know everyone better
