Hard to believe this happened just a couple of weeks ago, https://www.speedonthewater.com/catc...d-in-key-west/

A light read, for sure, but a fun story.

This dude came down to the LOTO CIG Randevous and gave everyone a talking to like we were 5 year old children about wearing life jackets.
I don`t come down to be scolded so thanx STUUUUU but keep it to yourself huh. I`m an adult and I`ll make my own decisions thanx.

don't take it so rude... he certainly needs to tell this every run he puts up ! and it is for safety so...
reason behind was good, just got a take it with a grain of salt imo...

If I'm not mistaken the event organizers asked Mr. Jones to give a safety briefing. Take it up with them.

Angry much, Daniel? Good lord.

He doesn`t organize the Randevous and in all the years Ive been going I`ve never seen him there .
I have no issues with a safety meeting and suggestions but (I`m paraphazing) " I see most of you aren`t wearing life jackets and that`s just not acceptable you should be ashamed of yourselves" blah blahblah ... I was like dude go F yourself.

I`m not angry, why would I care what some blow hard from Floriduh thinks?
I didn`t appreciate being lectured by someone who has nothing to do with that run. Lecture all you want in Floriday on runs you put together, that`s all.
1 minute later I forgot all about him and went on with my day till this post reminded me ..

Thank you Matt, have a super day.

His message isn’t for you. It’s for the dozens of others, with less experience, similar to those who have lost their life’s over the past 20 years.

Give the journalists a reprieve.

1. Guy runs the biggest poker run company in existence (so his experience supersedes all others)
2. LOTO has had some horrible accidents that could have been prevented
3. If the event stays safe then you will have future ones to enjoy!

Plus the organizers want to show law enforcement/ insurers that they were doing everything possible to keep the event safe for everyone.

You mention you felt like a 5 yr old and your post reflects that you were right!

Speaking of Florida hope they have some more events SW Florida safety is a good thing!

Stu is a man of the world!

ANYWHERE Stu Jones go's HOT boats and girls go! That's where I want to be.
