Florida Powerboat Club Key West Poker Run participants will be watching the weather carefully this week, https://www.speedonthewater.com/fpc-...st-departures/

Ya, its not fun being pelted with rain for hours.... We have decided to scrap the run and fly direct into KW.

Forecast to turn in a 1 Hurricane ?!??!!!

Keep in mind landfall is projected to be 150 miles north of Haulover inlet. So teams driving down I95 will be more affected than the teams leaving Haulover on day one. Seas can still be bumpy or as Cashbar calls it "sporty" but the hurricane isn't going to be in the neighborhood
