tphinney said:Spent the whole day out at Egmont Key. since it was over cast it wasn't so hot as to be unbearable and the kids had a blast jumping off the swim platform for nearly 2 hours straight.
we managed to avoid any rain or thunderstorms while we where out until we where on the way home around 4 PM. then we had to run the guantlet of rain and thunder storms going up the bay. I could see lighting in the distance as we passed St. Pete and we had some near by lighting as we docked up at home, but all in all it was a great day out.
the kids and wife crashed early from the day on the water so I was left to myself for the fireworks show. I met up with some friends around 8 PM and we rafted up to watch the fireworks show. all in all a good day.
we did have the usual idoits on the water with No lights, Dumb ass flashing his spot light in my face, an other bumb ass using his as a head light to run the channel even though there was a line of boats all going in the same direction no more than a hunderd yards apart. basicly a typical 4th.
Oh before I forget. we had phosphoresent algea in the water last night. talk about cool. my propwash and wake was glowing bright green the whole way home very cool.

get google earth and do a search on "Passage Key" ( 27°33'20.19"N 82°44'28.23"W ) thats the other Key the Cr0ck refers to. it's a long time hang out of the Nutical Nudist boating club ( see www.boatclix.com crusing refence) and just about any other uninhibited sole who cares to let it all hang out. So to speak.
the Key has all but vanished and now there is a shoal which uncovers during low tide. the last time I was there about 3 weeks ago the tide was running out so fast over the shoal the at least 1 boat lost his anchor and it was nearly impossible to walk without getting dragged.
don't go there thinking your going to scope on supermodels it's mostly an older group and if you don't strip down you will be harrassed for even coming out their. guackers are made to feel unwelcomed. other than that it's actually a real friendly group, more so than the average boating group.
if you get the chance you should at least check out for you're self at least once, just remember to go heavy on the sunscreen for those sensitive part which don't normally see the light of day. a sunburn below the breif line really does not feel good.
