Columbus Day Regatta 2003
 

The 49th Columbus Day Regatta will take place in Biscayne Bay (Miami Florida) on October 11th and 12th. Anyone planning on attending? Trying to get a head count so I know if I should plan on making more then the usual 300 Jello Shots......

John,

We will be there, I hope to get my 73' 20ft in the water she is a sweetie. So everyone gets an idea of the Colombus Day regatta it's MArdie Gras in the ocean god bless Christopher Columbus and his crew.

Ok, great, and yes, it is one BIG party. You will find me, if you can, in a Concept23 with Black and Blue Checker graphics, blue T-Top. I know, I know, I should be in a SeaCraft......

I have decided to make 500 Jello Shots this year, simply from popular demand. I will be back in town two days before the Regatta so I will be very busy......

Ha John
I might stop buy Saturday for a while I probably will be fishing if weather permits and might peek in on all the action after I get done. I have avoided the boat crunch for years plus all those naked girls (eye candy) at the moment really looks great but then for weeks afterward I have to keep on remind myself I am a married man and cant go there.

Fellow-Ship,
Good luck on the fishing. The weather is supposed to be fantastic!!!! Maybe I will see you, maybe I won't, depends on how creative you are in finding me. I will be anchored near a 48 foot houseboat. I have turned the fishbox in the floor into a VERY LARGE cooler since I will not be fishing much that day....

I made the trip down a couple years back & the place was "out of control" [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] I blew my lower unit Sunday so I'm high and dry this year [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] Take some close-ups of the local color for me!

Re: Columbus Day Regatta 2003
 

Forget about fishing its way to hot and the water is to clear.Go check out them beautys at the regatta,but be carefull its a crazy place.

Re: Columbus Day Regatta 2003
 

Well as usual I avoided the regatta again. I looked at pictures of last year’s turnout and figured that if I went I would be there for a very long time and it was getting hot. I did go fishing and got two very large mutton snapper a few amberjack, one grouper and one rainbow runner about 6 lbs. but by 10:30 the fish turned off. I fished another hr. or so and then headed back to the barn.
