Default Quick story from today

Had an old freind from inland come over and wanted to give him a tour of the Anclote Key area. Wind was West @ 10 so a little choppy exposed to the open gulf between islands.
His GF put a plastic jar of cashews on the bow fishbox ( dia of a pringles can half as tall) as we left 3 Rooker Bar for Anclote heading N. This is maybe a mile crossing but exposed to the open gulf and of course the wakes coming the other way from the ICW, maybe 2 to 3 short chop with the tide against the wind.

Everyone especilly her and me actually, were amazed it sat right there and never moved the whole trip @ 3 to 3400- 22mph - Stilletto props rock, keeps the boat high and soft, props make a huge difference.

Been there done that. Coffee doesn't spill on the way out; beer doesn't spill on the way in! Amazing isn't it

It is amazing! I'm less likely to spill my coffee on the Seafari while on plane than I am walking on the dock!
