I have a Whaler banner

Update: Baja has been sold for about 2 years now. All I can do is maybe 40mph in my 1976 19 Revenge(115 Suzuki 4S) on a good day. I actually might bring up my 13' if we are not going in the gulf. Bought it new in 1982(father), sold it in 1986 to my neighbor, then just bought it back and shipped to FL in July....weird but cool.

Then again I do have that Kawasaki Ultra 150 that will run 70(can't get better than 68 with my fat ass on it). For sale by the way.

Whaler group is probaly gonna show,,,,not definate yet.

If anyone is looking to buy camping stuff I just bought a new tent from these guys, island tents have unique requirements to be small for storage and open windows for the wind-if the fly comes down too low the tent will blow over-not good. Here is the link to what I found to be the perfect island tent-and its cheap. I bought cots too and the taller ones fit and give you storage underneath. I have been through a couple that just plain didn't work.

ESD, the wife and I will be over on Sat and I will bring my nikon digital. We are coming from Gainesville what is the best route?

dljohn, I would come south on I75 to SR56. West on SR56 which turns into SR54 until it dead ends at US19. South on US19 to Alt19.Alt19 to Anclote Blvd. Follow that west to Anclote River Park. That is the closest ramp to Anclote Key.
Wavelength, there is no facilites there at all, you have to bring everthing with you.

No overnight parking at the ramp but I have a guy that has a private ramp that I will try to get permission for us- Tom its the Landings, either that or drop the boat in take it around the corner to the park at the power plant. I'll know more in say a week. Tom how about Nicks Park for him easier to find at least.

Can someone post a link to a map or aerial view of Anclote Key?
Thanks, Brian

Here is a link to terraserver that should show it and then you can expand and move around with the pic;s Anclote is the northern island the bar to the north is the North Bar. I'll check the link myself.

Closer view, the target spot for camping is right at that tip of sand on the north end or the North Bar - you will need 2 anchors.
