Looks perfect. Also for those playing hookie and are so inclined, a combination trip to West End is only 80 something miles from FP.

Hey, if the weather is good I'm game. There are fish between FP and West End and you can always stop a try your luck. Still a ways off but ya don't want to wait until the last minute.

Are we talking a day trip or multi day? 82 nautical is a hike one way to reception for a day trip. If the weather is good and you can cruise @ 30 knots you are still looking at a 2.5 hour run which isn't too bad but weather can be a factor either way. When Mel and I went last time from Boynton it was only 52 nautical. Getting there was a breeze but it took 4 ugly hours to get back.... Well, it was ugly for me but not so much for sleeping beauty.

If this is really being considered for some you may want to get on the horn for rooms. Vita's place is usually booked solid but their prices are reasonable. The other place right around the corner usually has availability but its going to be 300 a night if you're not staying a full week.

Not worth it, IMHO. I did the run last year (2.5 hrs with great seas, 4 plus hours with anything else-That's crossing 56 miles, not 80-90miles). It would need to be overnight, which kills the chance to hangout with the CSC crowd who doesn't go (most members). No reason not to get way out there hunting dolphin during the day, though!

You guys are cracking me up...
Oh my a 3 hour boat ride to catch fish....

That is the norm for us running out of Ponce Inlet !

You clear the inlet at 6AM, Lines out of the water at 3PM....

Head in

That's why the CSC Bahamas Gathering at Grand Cay for 3-5 days needs to happen. Next June, brothers........It is not Grand Bahama version of the Bahamas, actually Walkers Cay type seclusion with way less pressure from the SE FL crowd. Rooms are only $125 a night for a suite with a kitchen at Josey Wales place......

I`m by the stairs, next to the ice machine, and picnic table.
Do they have an elevator?
I may upgrade.

I'm hearing about all these room numbers and I checked my confirmation again. I don't see any room number on it. Maybe I'm staying in the shed or boathouse or something.

Don - that’s my wife, not me. Thank you.
