What do you mean only 164 days until boating come back to life?!?!?! In my opinion, boating season is just beginning!!!!! Only 164 days until it's way to hot to boat!! After all, loading the boat in the heat, towing in the heat, launching in the heat, going through manatee zones in the heat, getting to the destination and then going into the cabin to turn the air on seems rather dumb. I might as well have stayed home.

Then of course, reversing then entire procedure.

Boat season - October through May! June to October park the boat.

Capt', quite possible. The club has a cruise planned for Hontoon Island the weekend of the 17th. That is the weekend of the show. Are you going to be down for only that weekend?

I had the pleasure of taking JValich's offer for a ride on Tampa Bay in Jan. of 05. My wife and I enjoyed our time with John and his family. We had a great cruise! Boating all year long is always been my dream, God willing that may happen next fall!! When that happens I hope to hook-up with John only this time with my boat. Currently I'm have our home for sale in Michigan and we're getting our home in Florida ready (painting,new carpet,ect.)as well.

Wish I could find work in Florida, I'd love to be able to boat year round.
Enjoy the nice weather, and take an extra ride for us yankees up north.

Like most of us, we have to work for a living, not like some of us fortunate few. HA, HA! I just don't have any time off from work to get down there even next year. This winter is booked, unfortunately.
