I went on the new years day fun run from fort myers beach to marco island in fla. with pasunbum. It was a great time with no expense except fuel and lunch. You guys should get in touch with the fort myers powerboaters for more info and maybe some advice.. It makes more sense to me to do a fun run instead of the expense your club has to do a poker run.Still have ball breaker and the fun stuff on shore..... Just no (poker run), fireworks and diner... all the stuff that is such a hassel. Just my opinion.... I think ther was at least 28 boats that did the run. check it out on there forum or go to freeze frame video. A fun run with all the same people that have attended in the past with one or two stops would be great!!!!

I hear the problem is if there is any organized event on the water then the big Insurance bill comes into play. To cover that bill comes all the work. Getting sponsors, advertising, entry fees, t-shirts sales, regatta permit, Sheriff patrol with diver, etc. Which is more work in itself.
The talk is to have a member picnic on that day whoever shows up shows up. What they happen to do on the water and how they get there is up to them. Then the club does not assume the liability for an organized event on the water. They are just having dinner at the showboat.
Some of the guys on the Kryptonite owners forum are planning on playing on the lake that weekend. Our plan is to meet at Glen Harbor Marina around noon Saturday, run the lake maybe stop @ Drysden Creek (warm water outlet) swim some and around 5pm head to the showboat for dinner.
This is just what I have been hearing maybe someone from the club can clarify.
