&*%$# Winter

Mid 60's in jersey today. Might have headed out if the boat wasn't out of commission for the season.

I've had some great times cruising the Intercoastal waterway at night between St Lucie Inlet and Palm Beach Inlet. You can have dinner at Shrimpers in the Manatee pocket and 2 hours later be having drinks and dancing at The Waterway Cafe in Palm Beach!!!
 
You guys can have your salt water! I'd rather be cold than sticky every time I get out of the water, not to mention the damage it does to the boats! That don't mean I don't like to come down and warm up from time to time!

Keep telling yourself that when every inch of your roadways and vehicles are covered in road salt.:p
 
i'll second that CHECK16, and considering how many boats they sell in the south, salt water is hardly the problem,
PLUS for all you anti-salt water people, its not nearly as bad as its made out to be,
 
Around these parts we call that a creek, Looks about as exciting as pulling on to the expressway! I think you left your blinker on. And why did you slow down when you came up onto a 2 minute old boat wake!

LOL! LOL! Only kidding Have Fun Take Care Go Fast Enjoy Your Winters!:cheers:

That was a 28 I think. It had 300's on it. I also got passed by a 100+mph fishing boat.:drool: Kind of took the wind out of my sail that my boat broke 80 for the first time.:banana:

For most of that I was running 60 or better. I'm pretty sure that I made the whole run in less than 30 min and it was 32.7 miles back to the ramp. That was my first trip to the Suwannee.:bigthumb:
