TF Southeast Florida Gathering?

Is anyone interested in a gathering at Fort Pierce City Marina this winter. If there is interest, I think I can make the arrangements. Just let me know what dates the group would like and how many. There should be slips available.

Looks like I will be there again this February...Lehman willing.

Can't decide to make it Feb 1st or 15th as there may be a Canaveral launch or two early in the month.

I would attend unless they vote me off the island before I get there....

Yes to a TF GTG in Ft. Pierce - good idea!

Might arrive by land, but if by water, is there an anchorage or mooring field nearby to the City Marina?

A good possibility could make it by land dependent on when it is....

Depending on the date I'll come over. Will have to see if the FL West coast (Best coast) can send an armada over.

We would attend as well.

P.S. Maybe Oliver will be there and I can steal his shoes.

Where is Oliver? Down Island or shoe prison?

Fish Camp, Bimini House, Shoe prison or whatever you wish to call it.

I won't be attending as it isn't south enough.

Yes potentially

I'll sure try to make it. The only time I can't is during the Miami International Boat Show in the middle of February.

Anchorage fairly close by.

The response is encouraging. I will check about available dates. What date is the Miami Show, Parks?

Oh yeah, if Oliver comes he will leave here shoeless.

Never crossed the lake in Feb are the mosquitoes any better?

I heard in winter they dont die they multiply

Yes, will attend, by land or preferably by water.

Don, the boat show runs February 11 through 15 th.

Sounds like fun!! Are left coasters invited?

Sure thing Al. We'd love to see you.

Hmmm. This sounds like a ploy for Don to showcase his super-gloss hull and bikini-clad beauties and I, for one, am falling for it. If Oliver is coming, we'd better call this the "Barefoot Rendezvous".

Just a chance to get a shot at Don's beer stash is a heck of an incentive.

If Oliver tries to weasel out, let's go get him. What the heck is Fish Camp anyway?

I think this is a great Idea I want to plan one eventually here on the West coast of Florida

After following his adventures vicariously for a while I know about where it is and Nordhavn's don't even go there. Only a 20+ knot sport fish can get you there.

It's the place where we camp out in between fishing trips, or base out of when fishing. Right now it's been more relaxing then fishing which is fine with me. Love Bimini.

Come and get me! I just can't guarantee you'll want to leave.

That's a great thought. Why don't we wait till Don selects a date, and sabotage him with a Gulf Coast Rendezvous that will draw the East Coasters with offers of chips, dip, and boat shoe accessories.

It won't work. We have the whole Hopkins Carter store over here. A few nabs won't draw a crowd.

Well I think either coast will work. But they do say "West is best"
Was hoping to have the big boat in Fla this winter but a certain yard has pretty well killed that idea. So a land based we'll be.

I'm sure we'll be coming.
Not sure if floating or driving across the state, but we should be there.

Would love to meet some of the folk here.

No problem. I'd just save up my orders for a new Lofrans Tigress, a Rocna, and a Lehr outboard, and we'd probably get a Hopkins-Carter sponsorship. You know, we could meet in Okeechobee.

I give up. Parks will never forgive me for buying a Sarca Excel. He is so fickle. I probably can't get a cup of Cuban coffee in his store.

All is not lost. The only Sarca Excel known to be in Florida is on the bow of Moonstruck. That will be draw enough. Everyone will want to check it out.

Parks is going to need an 18-wheeler to stock up this Redneck Rendezvous!
