Month Long Cruise PCB - Key West - 340

Keep your trip pictures coming....You are doing a great job and certainly have awesome memories.....By the way, your wife was attractive 3 1/2 years ago, but she is even more attractive 3 1/2 years later.....I hope you will not be having a child in 8 months.....

Attractive is an understatement she is absolutely Gorgeous ..

No wonder he keeps her to himself on his flash boat i would as well :thumbsup:

Good pics as usual your doing great,and make sure you keep your wife safe at all times ..No boating in thunderstorms :smt001
 
Thanks, everyone. I'll let her know a little about your compliments, but I can't tell her everything! I wouldn't be able to live with her on the boat.
 
Yea, you just can't win. Tell them they look good and the head gets big, tell them their ass is big and the knot on your head gets big! :smt021:smt043:smt043:smt043:smt043:smt043

John, wish you had somehting other than photosucket, I have been able to see your pictures one time but they were fantastic. I am looking forward to getting down to Sanibel this weekend. :thumbsup:
 
You are having problems seeing the pics?

We left Longboat Key Club intending to cruise about 10 miles North and anchor out and play in the sandy waters. There was a bunch of can boats at a shallow, sandy anchorage and trawlers in the deeper one. Neither looked like our crowd, so, we headed out the Longboat Pass and started North to join our friends we met in Key West and went to the Dry Tortugas with (along with Kevin and Nicole, of course).

The trip North included un-forecast 3 - 5 foot following seas. We couldn't stay on plane at 20 - 22 knots. Some waves were so big, we would get stuck on the back of them and feel like we were heading up hill untill we fell off plane. At 3450 RPM, I was able to hold 24.5 knots and stay on plane. We were doing 30 mph at times! Good economy, none the less.

We passed just outside the Tampa Bay outer markers. In Clearwater, we paid 3.45/gallons for basic car gas at the city marina - they have jets here packed tighter than 757's.

Pelicans do grow on trees here! (Not in Panama City, though)

Our friends got stuck in Key West for winds for a while, but then they raced home past us and were here ready to accept us into their lovely home. They have a guest dock - we may never leave. We enjoyed the afternoon at their home, then headed out for dinner. What a great little town Clearwater is!

John, you must be living right. First the 30 day cruise. Then I sneak a peak at July on the CSR calendar and there's Shell's Island anchored at Shell Island!
 
You cheated! Yep - I forgot about that. My CSR calendar is always on that month!
 
By the way John....We have been given props to your wife looking good....Because no women cruise this site or very few do and I am very comfortable with my sexuality (love woman), I will say you look good too...You guys make a great couple.....Okay, gotta run to Provincetown

Love you too, man.
 
Today, we took our boat out on a local trip - can you believe that? It was great. We cruised inside to the North to the inlet at Caladesi, cruised out, then turned South and anchored out at the island, stern in, near the beach, the way we do at home. We had a nice day. Afterward, we cruised back South on the outside then into the Clearwater pass, under the low bridge, and back to our hosts' home. We're headed out to an aviation-rich local place to meet some more of their friends. Should be great! Tomorrow, off to Cedar Key.

If you drop your keys in P-town, kick them back to Hyannis before you bend over to pick them up!:grin:
 
John,

Beautiful pictures from Clearwater. I can't blame you for heading up there quickly!

Mike and Wendy
 
Looks like your having a great time in Clearwater! I am shure you can see why I love the area. I ordered my new engine couple of days ago and should get it early next week. Nicole and It can't wait to get back on the water! Have fun and be safe on your way to Cedar Key. Talk to you later.

Wow, those pain meds must be doing a great job!

Great to hear from you, Kevin. Hope you get back cruising soon!
