What kind of speeds are you getting? Enough to handle VOIP?

 

[MrMoose]

Excellent pics.

Have the guys that were coming today made it over yet?

I saw a jetboat at the docks around noon today. It had a yellow quarantine flag on it, so it was probably a new arrival.

1 meg down, but VERY slow up...probably NOT good for VOIP

Nice to meet up with @kthrash and family for traveling and lunch together.View attachment 24854 View attachment 24855 .. In talking I mentioned the fish identification charts... Here are picture of ours to check out.

Thanks for posting the chart pic @Bruce, it helped me identify the fish that I caught at Three Sisters today. I used some beef jerky and caught a Palometa. My boys were excited because they watched me catch it while they were snorkeling.

What?...you used that TASTY jerky for FISH bait?...That was GOOOOOOOD jerky sir

I'm so excited and jealous to see all the wonderful pictures. The pig roast sounded fantastic.

On a happy note, I spent the day blowing out the engines, changing oil & filters, and getting new air filters. After a good bit of work, we got both engines emptied of water and fired back up. A few more oil changes and we're back on the lake. Woot! If anyone has ideas or part numbers on disc brake pads and hydraulic kits for the MFI trailer, feel free to drop me a note.

That's great news @David Hoff , Are you still in Ft Lauderdale? Or did you go back home?

Back home in Atlanta.

Awesome news. Run the piss out of the motor and change the oil again. You need to boil any moisture out of the internals.

Any electrical plugs that were submerged need to be opened and sprayed with dielectric lube.

Fresh water rinse everything and use salt-a-way.

Ok, @David Hoff , I'm planning on going out Sunday (just here in Biscayne Bay for some family time and BBQ on a sandbar or island).

If you were still in town I was going to invite you to join us. Next time!

Were you headed towards South Beach on the causeway earlier today? Saw an older sx being towed on a white truck.

That was me @MrMoose . Just got here today.

Glad you made it safely. How was your crossing?

 

[Eurocat]

@David Hoff Great news man. Glad to see it come back to life.

Here is some of our video from the July 6th crossing.

@SoFla David I'll be out on the sandbar on Sunday at Sands Key next to Elliot.

 

[SoFla David]

@Murf'n'surf , that was not me.

@Diana24 , I will keep my eye out. I'll be launching from Matheson. Exact destination in the bay has not been decided yet. Look for a black 2005 sx230HO with two pirate flags flying off the back legs of the Bimini top.

 

[1948Isaac]

Glad you made it safely. How was your crossing?

It was rough, but glad to be here again

 

[Diana24]

@SoFla David I'll keep a lookout as well. I've launched the past two times at Matheson and the seaweed is bad there. Ill be launching at Herbert Hoover Marina in Homestead this time.
