Moonstruck,
What are the anticipated dates? Would love to make it, but doing the loop early in 2018.
And I'm hoping you're kidding about the FPPD request, there's NO way I'd do that.

Carmelita's has a new spice rum so they now have three labels, that should hold Baker for part of the evening.
Don't worry about the cops, the assistant chief of St. Augustine is a good friend so we won't be held very long.

You know they only have two cops there right?

I'd like to come if that's ok. I promised to be there for the 2017 edition but couldn't get my ass in gear. But my ass is now in slow gear and I'm already halfway there, presently St. Pete. At this rate of progress I'm sure I will be on the east coast somewhere. I may as well be at Ft. Pierce as anyplace else.

Don, Can FPPD use our last years pics or do we have to update? Should we CC our parole officers on the 7 day advance too?

Fine with me but I'm not in control but first year attendees have to bring 10 cases of beer.
I tend to keep a good few cases of beer on board anyway. My blowboat friends have nicknamed my boat the Punjab Cantina and Launch Service cos I can carry a lot more supplies than they do so they come here for food, drink and a quick trip ashore when at anchor. But having been part of this forum for some time now I may have to admit that we just have to hire a beer truck.

So I'm sitting on my boat in Copper Harbor, Michigan, the very top of the "UP" upper peninsula. The sign in town says, "1,990 miles to Miami ". Will be leaving Sunday or Monday to head to Isle Royale (further North). Here's my point: if I can make it from over 2,000 miles away (with my boat), you all have no excuse.
Let me know as soon as you have dates; need to get the waxing and detailing crew scheduled.

OK, the pressure for dates is getting heavy. I will hold the dates open until a couple of guys work schedules are posted. We want to have everyone there. Are you listening? You know who you are.

I am new to the forum, but the talk of a rendezvous is very interesting. I will be, hopefully starting on the loop out of Fort Lauderdale in 2018, so the timing will be key to me. Please set up, and post the dates soon.

Your assumption is absolutely wrong! We have some members who are still working schedules that are on and off. Just trying to accommodate those. One is an airline pilot, and one a ship's captain. They did attend last year. Other than that I will check the dates of the Miami Boat Show, and probably do a poll to see if before or after is better. We have had some people who have stopped by because of the boat show. Just trying to accommodate as many as possible.

I suggest a new policy. If you attended the previous year you must atten the current year and if not the rotten bastard must return all the prizes he won and return the booze consumed. That should make the party grow every year.
Ted you are expected, your boat is the shining light that serves as our beacon.

Don't worry about detailing your boat, Ted. I'll have the dock master hold your old slip back in the corner. No one will see it there.

For the last 4 years I stayed for the month of February.
The staff told me for monthly rentals, call in July. Maybe excessive, maybe not.
Usually transients for a couple of days is no problem, but with the TF gathering last year, a few transients had to leave or at least switch berths.
The marina has ELCIs on the new floating docks so try and have that checked before arrival otherwise you might not have a slip, or at least shore power if they cant fit you into the old section.

If the dates do not conflict with a boat show then I want to get there this year. I can do a seminar on convincing your yacht broker that he has to pay you for the privilege of selling your boat.

Thus my warning, especially for older boats.

That wine was just a disguise, a half inch of wine riding on to of that great rum you had.
I just blamed the major rum consumption on Baker...he has broad shoulders.
Disguise worked pretty well...
I KNEW IT!!!!! Hahahaha!!! Well anyways, y'all hide your rum and your women!!!! We will do our best to make it...and I would say a very good chance we will!!! I may even travel with a little extra rum...ya never know!!!! See y'all early next year!!!
