I wish I could go.  But its a haul from Lakeland and we are celebrating my grandfather's 80th birthday!  There aren't many things that are more important to me than a good boating weekend.  But that is one.  Take lots of pics guys.

It just so happens that I will be coming through there on Friday late afternoon or early evening. It is a 38 Tiara, named "Necessary Evil." We will be on our way to spend the night at Cabbage Key. Then coming back north though the Gasparilla Island Bridge the next Saturday morning. I'd love to meet some of you if our schedules work out. I'm not sure what time I'll get  there (I'd like to be early, but wives, kids, guests, babysitters will certainly all conspire to make it a late trip through the bridge Friday). I've got a 1976 22-2 that I have not touched yet, but I am dying to chat about restoration options. And, I'd just like to say hello :)

So, I hope someone will be monitoring a VHF?

In any case, best to all,

Any idea how deep the route to the beach is? I draw about 3 1/2 feet.

Charlie,
Although I'd love to be at the gathering, business comes first. as I am swamped.  But I want to tell you, Anna Maria is my favorite place in the whole world, been around there since '66, when I was 6.  

Still have an OP tee with Holmes Beach Surf Shop on the sleeve, and still love Rotten Ralph's...
