They can call them nuggets, but your really getting a rubbery piece of tail

I saw the boat, but haven't met them yet. I will try to make contact next time I see them. How about you Bob?

Can you tell me who and where?????????

Nate,
I have seen that guy who needs help finding his boat. It is really nice of you to be so kind to your "special" friend. He's the guy with the jon-boat and trolling motor right?

Hello Dennis et al;

Sorry went missing for awhile. Had to venture over to the east coast for a day and a half. Back at my post now. Sundays forecast is looking better each time you post. Temps are inching up and winds are laying down. I would think 12MPH out of the North West should not be a problem for you.
I would say 2 to 3ft max wave hight and less as you get the protection from Sanibel. Certainly looking better.

Just not sure which boat. There is a great looking Top Gun on Marco. Met him two years ago at Sarasota poker run but lost touch. The one I have in mind has his boat on a lift on the way into the Esplanade that I mentioned awhile ago. I will try to track him down soon and let him know about our plans.

Here's the lates wind and wave report from NOAA. In my experience, if NOAA is predicting 2-4 footers, count on 4-6 footers. If they are predicting 5-7 footers, as they are forecasting for offshore waters on Saturday and Sunday, beware.

Sorry I cannot make this run. Have great, safe fun. I'll think of you Sunday.
