first time in 10 yrs we have missed the show by boat, but I had to smoke a ton of meat for a catering that is coming up, and with the fuel issues I've been having wouldn't be a good time to sea trial.  Did the big storm miss you guys, slammed us around 1100 over here at the house, but looked to be traveling NE,  Mike (Glock Diver) called me this afternoon, he had a great trip out to the Oriskany for a dive.  Maybe we can hook up for next years show.

Hey, Marc,
           Yep, it never rained at the beach.  We saw the cloud line passing north of us.  We haven't been to a beach show in about 5 years.  I never saw this many boats at P'cola Beach before!  Weather was perfect for the show, but the bay was very rough heading back to Bayou Chico.

It was AWESOME seeing those jets take off in formation. I was about a mile away from their strip when we were unloading the dive boat, and they flew directly over us in that tight quad formation.  Rattled some teeth!  :lol:

Yes, it was blowing 20 from the west, at least you kind of had it at your stern once you were in the bay, how about those folks who had to head west to Sherman Cove or points further west :roll: maybe in a pontoon, or small bow rider?? Can you say "Sub-Pay"

Nice pics - always enjoy seeing them - thanks.
Looks to be possibly an Aquasport in the 3rd pic?
