Ft Myers Offshore, April-2010 Sanibel, run and pictures
This past weekend, we participated in the Ft. Myers Offshore (FMO) season finally, a circumnavigation around Sanibel and Captiva islands.
Bob and the entire FMO board, thank you for another enjoyable and safe day of hi-performance boating.
For us it started in the Myakka River, past Punta Gorda Isles, (where Tom joined up with us in a 38 Fountain), South through Charlotte Harbor, and down the ICW to the Sanibel Causeway bridge, the starting line.
Next the circumnavigation around Sanibel and Captiva islands, heading North in the Gulf, then in at Redfish pass, and South though the ICW, and back to the mouth of the Gulf, to the Sanibel Causeway bridge, now the ending line.
Lunch was at the Lighthouse Restaurant at Port Sanibel Marina.
I ran a total of 147 miles, and burned 66 gallons of 93 octane. That's 2.28mpg.
Here are links to the 65 pictures I took.
We are working on the video shot from my boat. It will take a bit more work.

I am not in the same class as the guys you mentioned, those 3 are the best of the best; however, it is nice to have our efforts appreciated and recognized.

I recently purchased and received the DVD of this event, from Freeze Frame Video. I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to share the parts that featured my boat, with my friends and family. With this in mind, I called FFV and spoke with Jeff, whom I know very well, from 20 years of racing. I asked if I could have his permissions to re-edit, and post 3 minutes of the DVD, this one time. Jeff agreed.
So here it is. The sound starts up at 12 seconds in.
2010 FMO April, 308 Skater
Enjoy! and do not forget to raise the quality to 480p.
