Welcome to the "never ending club", although all boats are that way at least you feel good doing stuff.

Glad you got your dream boat. Now the fun begins both in using her and fixing her up.

I fish out of Miami all the time. I put in at Crandon park go to Government Cut and catch bait and fish from Monument to past Fowey Light. This Sat. I had to turn around and go home due to a bad storm which hit at 6 AM. I didn’t want to sit at the dock for a couple of hrs. Come first week in June I am taking a week off and will probably head down to Black Point at least once or I just might go down to the Keys for a few days.

38' holiday mansion. blue lettering, big navy blue aft deck cover. Name on the boat (from original owner) is Gunslinger. Can't miss me I look like a bread box on water. Normally anchor at the south end of the no wake zone of north elliott key. So south of sands cut but north of the elliott key harbor/ visitors center. We will have a 27 grady, 44 tolly craft, 18 potter from marco island, 20 potter from islamorada via naples and a variety of inflatables tenders.

Re: SECRAFT purchase
 

OK -- so the wind is blowing 20 Knts++. I'm gonna be either behind elliott (wind from the east) or Sands (wind from the NE) Some of my friends that were going to come have bailed due to the weather but -- i'll be there along with a 27 grady and a (sunday) 23 intrepid. Hope to see you guys out there. The bay will be just choppy enough let your sea crafts ride like they were designed to.
