St pete beach area.. we saw a few sharks around the key

@john94si, Apparently our kids are "friends" because when my boys saw your picture they asked why they couldn't boat with us? As I tried to explain that we live in different areas, they broke down crying saying "We never get what we want, you just get what you want! You invite your friends on the boat, well what about our friends, why cant they come with us? Trying to explain that they've never met your chidren was a mute point... So there you have it. I'll be sending your family invites to their birthday party this fall. LOL

Thank you for posting such a great photo. You calmed down 2 cranky little boys who went from tears to "Oh so thats what the fishes see when we're on the boat?" in 10 seconds.
I need to read this forum when everyones asleep.

A repeat of Wednesday on Lake Zumbro, MN for me. However I didn't surf, slalom, and wakeboard. We've been bringing the kneeboard the last few times and today my son who is 9, successfully tried it and couldn't get enough of it. My youngest who is 7, skied without the bar holding the front of the skiis together so I'm happy, even though I didn't do as much as I did on Wednesday. I'm hoping to do four wake sports the next time I go out, ski, wakeboard, surf, and kneeboard.

Teaching our Italian exchange student to drive the boat on Utah Lake Monday evening

The blonde kid reaching for his wakeboard seems distracted! No??

Getting the boat washed down before storing her after a short trip to Pine Island from Cape Coral FL...

We have a golden retriever that we can't keep out of water and this guy who does not like swimming. But he loves sitting on the tube at sandbars and people watching.

@njmr2fan here are a couple of videos I took yesterday of the process. The forklifts are wrapped in carpet and so far I haven't had any problems--with the exception of once the forklift was broken for about 10 days and they couldn't get my boat down. They have two forklifts but only one will reach the very top.

They wash off the exterior before putting the boat in storage and will flush the engines if you want--but I do that myself. If you give them a couple of hours notice they will wash the interior before you take the boat out--no charge. Also they have work racks if you need them. Overall, not bad for $235 a month IMO.

Did you go to Wood's?

Did you go to Wood's?

I'm not familiar with "Wood's". We went to the "The Waterfront Restaurant" just at the entrance to Pine Island coming from the ICW.

 

[The Wanderer2]

Wood's is the next canal up, I believe it's Monroe canal. Very nice Bar Restraunt we go to when we're out for a cruise. Ragged Ass and Low Key Tiki are down the same canal as Wood's.

I'll try it next time we go to PI--been to The Waterfront Restaurant a couple of times but always looking for something new to try...

I think you'll like it. They usually have entertainment on Sundays and the food isn't bad. It does get crowed when the snowbirds return.
