I also got a call from my buddy Fred who was driving back to Ft Laud from Key West Sat. and saw that boat on the way to the Keys. At first he thought it was my old Predator but was not of coarse. Understand it is in Chicago. There is an active thread going in that boat right now called 41 Apache Predator. I understand they are going to race that boat this year. We wish them well. Quite a history to that boat.
I trust you had fun in the keys on the weekend ?
6 more sleeps and I will be back down there.

Anything I can do to help let me know, are we having lunch at keywaddin and what should I bring.
Cant Wait

P.S. Are you doing the FT. Myers PRA?

Looking at the tide charts for Caxambas Pass we have hight tide at 10:14 AM and low tide at 3:11 PM. I know the waters at the south end intimately and we may have to idle in the marked chanel along the Caxambas seawall.This will add 15 minutes to the round the Island trip. I usually run outside the chanel near the islands on plane in that area but not at less than mid tide which is what we are looking at here. I will not lead a group into trouble. We will play it safe.
As for what to bring - lunch, girls in bikini's, beverage, girls,
sun tan lotion, girls, good music, girls. That is about it. LOL
Yes, I will be doing PRA Ft Meyers Poker Run on May 6th. We will have to get together on that. I know The Menace
[ Dennis ] is planning on it in his Skater as well. Another great boat & guy.
Bob

It is shaping up to be a great day. Let us know if you are able to track down that Top Gun you speak of. I will call you on Monday sometime.

Re: Ft Myers Offshore
Bob, that 41 is a 87 and been named that since it was built. It will be great to see her on the race course again, she has been run in like 10 years. Hope all is well, sign up for www. boynethunder.com it fills up fast. Steve
