You're right Fred, it's Signature Finish paint . . tough stuff and very user friendly! Followed Capt. Chuck's advice and used leftover batches of paint on the cooler so it now matches boat!
Here's one cool shot of an F-16 flying formation with a P-51! The F-16 did some impressive maneuvers. Although it's roughly same size as a P-51, this shot shows how much more wing area it has(to carry it's much higher weight!)
Here's Fred headed home, with quite a crowd on board!
Since it was a 2 1/2 hr run up there with all the new idle/manatee zones in the ICW , I decided to enjoy the great weather and spend the night anchored out off the sandbar inside the inlet (60F and no bugs!) Shadow enjoyed a big steak bone, and the next day we ran up to visit with Capt. Chuck & return the charts he so generously loaned us for the Fl. circumnavigation trip last spring. Decided to explore the N. fork of the St. Lucie River, so continued on as far as White City, which is about halfway to Ft. Pierce. Here's a couple of shots from that part of the trip.
Shadow enjoys riding in back seat and checking out the scenery!
Ran a total of 115 miles and burned 25.8 gallons per I-Command gage, for an avereage of 4.5 mpg, not bad considering I was running quite a bit faster than optimum for most of the trip! Need to start earlier next time! Denny
