Camping
« on: October 18, 2014, 08:12:26 PM »
Hi all,
For you local members, a few of us are going to bring our boats to Ft. Desoto/Bunces Pass and hang out a few days. We're starting the campout on Oct 24th and will be hanging until Sunday. What a nice place to hang - great water current, clean water, usually a nice breeze.  We'll be on the south side of the Bunces channel.

If you are in the area and want to stop by we'd love to meet you - Look for the Explorers tied up in a barge config - hang out and have a few beers with us.  

If you want to camp with us you're MORE than welcome - bring some fenders and have a great time. We for sure will.  8)  :drunken:

You bet - a floating hotel and party barge.  We have BBQs on board to cook a feast so we won't go hungry  :cheers:
We'll probably "unbarge" to go do some fishing and then meet back up to continue the festivities.
The boats all have fresh and raw water washdowns (when they work  :roll:  I just ordered a new fresh pump) so we have showers, "facilities" and plenty of room to hang out.
Good tunes, always good friends, good amenities, always good supplies, always good times - not much more to say.

Do you mean like no alcohol?  No cussing?  No doing stupid chit?  On boats?  Off course it's a family setting... :wink:

A few times a year and in different locales usually.  We usually leave the families at home and the guys chill out for a couple days.

A very windy Friday and Saturday at Bunces Pass

Saturday morning sunrise.


Breakfast burritos, a great AM laxative.


Ahhh, morning relief.


Saturday night sunset. The pic really doesn't do it justice.

We could probably do a camp out sometime in the near future.  Just like old times.
