Pre Spring Egmont Key Gathering date Poll

[Group W Bench]

Excuse fairy, my ass. I brought the whole famn damily to the specified location at Fort D with dozens of steamed blue crabs and Corona with lime for y'all. Hailed a bunch of times on 16 and 69 to no avail. We played around on the beach for a few hours and shared the crabs with a bunch of geriatric Russian tourists walking the beach. We had a great time, but were hoping to meet up with the crew.

Lookin' good fellers!

Ya'll hear from Skoot and Eugene?

Nope, they were hanging out with the excuse fairy.

Eugene called this afternoon to see if I had heard anything from you guys. Had been trying you on 69.

He was at Desoto looking for ya'll.

Gave him SB's and Skoot's cell #'s.

Had a great day out on the water.  It was WINDY!  I was starting to wonder if it was worth heading out, but when I called Aaron and Fernando on the way to the ramp they were already on the water!  Reel Crazy didn't miss a beat.  There's a learning curve to a new boat but I'm getting her figured out.  I was able to get her into skinnier water than I thought I could today.  I wish the weather was better for other members to be able to make it out.  Seabob was grinning as he crawled all over an in Reel Crazy.  

Group W we had our radios on 69 but with the wind it was hard to hear them.  Also there was a small sailboat race going on and they were using channel 69 and they apparently had two Aquasports and they were hailing each other as Aquasport 19 etc.  What time were you trying to reach us?  Were you on your boat or in a car?

Maybe we can do one on the 24th or something.

Here's a few pics:
 EDIT I labeled the pics:

Looks like you all managed to have a good time despite the weather, I'm jealous that i didn't make it, got stuck doing honey dew's and spent alittle time on the boat.

nice pics guys,ok,whats Bob explainin,looks important!

[gran398]

The guy that you mention...is that Bob?

He looks too young to be Bob.

What... He ain't old and fat

 

[pete]

Thats gotta be Bob,he's talking to Bruce about some very technical stuff about his new boat,and Bruce is paying very close attention,kinda like Yoda talking to young Skywaker.....

KNEW I shoulda flown down there

 

[wingtime]

you two are too much...  Did Pete just call Bob yoda?   "learn much about boat you will"  LOL     Yeah Bob was spewing all kinds a Aqua knowledge!   I think he was telling me about the fish box pump and the macerator pump mod.  I feel bad we didn't meet up with group W.  I guess he didn't see the post on PM me phone numbers.  I guess we will do it better next time.

[pete]

[gran398]
