Destin FL Labor Day Excursion
« on: September 09, 2010, 09:44:57 PM »
I have been trying to get around to posting from last weekend, but this week has been a blur.  We had 12 people with us, and two boats, the wife took her pontoon, and I cruised the Osprey.  This was definitely her big shakedown, 90+ miles round trip without a hickup.  Gas mileage blew, BC I had to keep up with the Pontoon, I was trying out my new Yamaha FMS, and I was burning as much fuel at 18 MPH, as I was at 28 MPH, about the time she wanted to roll over on step, I had to bring it back a little.  And the trip home (Heading West) the wind picked up due west and was slamming the pontoon, so she had to stay in close on my stern.  All in all, we had a blast, Lots of "eyeball liberty" over there :cheers:


The dolphin were loaded up in the ICW narrows around Ft. Walton


Arriving at Crab Island

Cool pics!

Without oilmageddon that spot is like that every weekend in the summer. That is the Hwy 98 bridge over the inlet at Destin. There is even a guy that gas an inflatable with a banner and cooler with dry ice inside that cruises around selling ice cream. He even has the stupid music!
