Crap, can't get it to play on my worn out i4, I'll watch it on PC tomorrow.
Met Stu and his wife at DS, shipped their boat out to Havasu one year. Great couple!

Kenny, there's another boat club that we're part of, it's Ft. Myers Offshore (FMO) it's people from Naples to Punta Gorda, we have run once a month in season, (October-April) and have charity runs and all the money goes to help fund kids college education, if you want to info let me know or just google FMO and it should pop, good bunch of guys.

Like Eli said, the water looks amazing.
I was talking to a guy from the gym this morning who is from Florida. He said what he misses about being out there is the water. He said out water out here is so dirty compared to Florida and the beaches are white sand.....I def need to make it out that way.

There's only one time of the year that the water gets murky, (a month or so) in the Spring during the rainy season the COE releases water out of Lake Occachobee and when the fresh water discharging from the Callosahattee River it mixes with the saltwater it turns the water dark green instead of the nice blue color, but it goes away fairly quick, the state is spending 30 million dollars for a retention basin upstream to keep this from happening, it pisses the visitors off when they're in town and hurts the vacation business.


The sand on the beaches is like powder, I'll post some pics of the sandcastle contests they have a couple times a year.
