Anclote Key Gathering 04/28/2007

Wavelength- Is that a CC or a SeaVette on your Avatar? I would really like to get a first hand look at one of those SeaVette. Maybe I'll get lucky and one will join us at the gathering.
I did see a fairly good deal on a Sceptre, in case anyone doesn't have a CSC and would like to drive themselves to the festivities http://adcache.boattraderonline.com/6/3/6/87377336.htm

For those of you trailering to the gathering you can get an overnight permit for Anclote Park and boat ramp for 5.00 a night or 20.00 per month, day use is free but they close at sunset. Call the Holiday Rec. Center @ 727-934-4198 for directions. You must pick up the permit at the Rec. center but It can be done in advance for the weekend you want. No mail in or online registration and they close at dark.

You must have your boat and car registration, it was just such a pain I never even did it. I will checkout a spot to park around the corner by the power plant that might work but thats why I suggested Nicks Park on the Cottee River in NPR

I may try it next week I wanted to do a test run with my new camping gear. Details at 11:00

I'm leaving shortly and this just popped up:

Small craft exercise caution in effect from this evening through Saturday morning-except SeaCrafts

LAST TIME I GOT AN OVERNITE PASS IT WAS VERRY EASY AND THE EXIT GATE WAS MOTION ACTIVATED SO YOU CAN LEAVE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT IF NECESSARY ALSO GOOD SECURITY PASCO DEPUITY LIVING AT THE PARK. YOU JUST CAN'T GET BACK IN
UNTIL MORNING.

OK on the ramp issue- we can get the info they require and I can have Mike at American Marine swing by and pick them up ahead of time. This will certainly be the best ramp option as to ramp quality and safety, plus its the closest. Required info:
Vehicle: make-model-color-and tag #
Boat: Registration #- make and model- trailer tag

The next hurdle will be to get them to folks depending on when the arrive.

PS Had a great weekend out there and learned alot, will give a recap with pic's but left the camera at Susans.

Is their a marina near by that has fuel? I can hold enuff to get there and back from bradenton but it depends on how much fishing and how far I plan on run and of course how fast. At WOT an EFI is a thirsty animal!

Yes fuel is not a problem you run a short distance up the Anclote River there are marina's
