I missed a run once due to nobody in town having any exhaust riser gaskets. It stinks when that happens. Merry ChristmasJohn

OK. Now I'm excited. Everything is packed and loaded. Leaving 4:45am for the Cape after I hook up the boat. Looks like weather in PA may get wet,but no snow on the roads here. Looking forward to meeting you guys and girls. This will be the shake down cruise after the re-rig and the first time the boat sees fla since the 1994 worlds.

Harry-
you may wanna re-think your actions.
I took a walk on the beach today and didn't see a go-fast anywhere.

I met Kevin H. and his buddy TJ in their Fountains today at Keewaydin. They will be joining us for the New Years Day run.
Kevin did last years run to Everglades City with his then Baja.
Nice to meet you guys again.

I have just added the weather forecast to post # 1. I have referenced both the Weather Channel and NOAA. Looks OK at this point. We will continue to keep an eye on it with daily updates to post # 1.

Rick. Anyone that is willing to drive over from the east coast on the morning of New Years Day for lunch, deserves a seat on one of the boats. While I cannot commit a seat myself at this time perhaps there is someone at FMO that can help. I have some family in the area for the holidays and expect that I will be full. If not then I can then offer you a seat. Anyone ??
Bob
PS. for those OSO's in the area that want to drive to join us for lunch, we will be at Guy Harvey's in the Esplande on Collier Blvd. ( the main drag ) across from McDonalds, Marco Island. 1:30 till 3:30 PM.

its a nice ride over, I just got back in from a tour of your coast today, came over on Christmas to the in-laws in Bonita, then up to my dads place North of Tampa.
I took another look at the rigging this afternoon, and may not be missing anything that I cant get, but will know more tomorrow afternoon.
