St. Pete Poker Run
 

Anyone else in the area going to hang out & watch the boats run? Where would be the best place to watch them come by?

We will be at the Vinoy just north of the Pier. I suppose if you stand on the St Pete Pier you will see us take off.

I guess I should have said that we will be in our boat. Once we get down there I can look at our charts & try & figure out the routes you guys are taking. I just didn't now if there was a good spot to hang out, see the boats running hard & be out of the way.

Somewhere in the bay (roughly) near Coquina Key might work.
It's not far from the start- everyone will be running by the time they get there and hopefully nobody broke yet. :eek:
They will have to run a little closer to shore because of the point there.

Or... you could go down near the Sunshine Skyway. Should be a great day anywhere on the water!

Here's a view from the Skyway as a group approaches.

Yeah it was pretty snotty on the bay today but no rain till Sunday they are saying

3-5's today. Boating advisory is CAUTION. Small Craft boat warnings are out. Have fun!

I was on the Tierra Verde bridge this morning watching them come in, saw about 40-50 boats, an awsome sight!
The wind was blowing then but it is a lot worse now!
I don't think my 18 Donzi would have been a fun ride!:eek:

i hope someone got pics

Poker Run!
 

I was out in my Venture to watch the start. Very windy and close 3 to 4's in the Bay. We were sitting at the corner where the run turned for Tierra Verdi. Some very nice new hardware but it was nice to see Jimmy Willey out in front with XXX.

I took a few from the bridge but my "cheap" membership doesn't allow me to post them!:party-smiley-004:

How did you get that?:D
Nice shot

We rode up to the pier to watch the start, but that was about it. Nothing like organized chaos aka the start of a poker run... lol. What happened to the guy in the OL, it looked like he was late for the start, then it looked like the police boat went after him.

He took off early and he was coming back from where ever he went. Police boat just told him to slow down...not much drama

here's a couple:

Nice pics!

X2! There were some incredible boats out there!
