I'm all about long weekends. Once a month would keep me sane during these dreadful winters.

I don't reasons, I need logistics!!

After this year, I will have the required 2 years of cat ownership so my insurance goes to no lay up period.

I could be on a plane tomorrow for a long weekend if my boat was there now. It's only going to be a high of 19F tomorrow. Already sick of it and it's just starting.

You east coast people are funny!! Here in Californa the low goes to 30 and we flip the hell out!! Lol... And we don't have humitity in the summer, but hey those of u that have been out here or to Havasu it just flat out gets HOT!! But that's better than what- a high of 19? Hell NO!! Idk how you people even live in that weather for more than an Hour!! Haha... Plus it hardly ever rains here!! Just unfortunately it's the worst state in the Country by far to own a business in!! Oh well can't have it all, cause if one place did- well u think China is crowded? Ha that would be the most perfect place on earth and everyone would live there... Anyhow, ya that would be sick to be able to boat in FL in the winter

If I were buying a place it would be there, but Miami is a better set up for us with my engine builder there, the direct flights, and KW and Miami Boat Show Poker runs.

Love yer style, dude.

I moved to Cali about 15 yrs ago. Didn't last 2 years
Frankie and Annette NEVER told us about that chit! Come to think of it- they were never in the water, always playing bingo on that beach blanket.

Get that biatch on the road. You can park it at my house for the next couple weeks.
The Ritz Carlton is 5 blocks away, you can work on your tan there.
Then, do the FMO run the 30th, Ryan's run on the 1st and drop her in Miami to prep for the Miami Boat Show run.

Simple. Problem(s) solved. Welcome to Florida boating.

You're welcome.

I left my friends topgun and my truck down in pompano beach all winter at Brand X. We are planning on flying down a few times to use it and do some poker runs.
