FPC Sanibel - Friday Lunch run

**bluellama** · 03-21-2010 09:36 AM

Thanks to a amazing invitation from BobtheBuilder, my Dad and I were lucky enough to spend the day on Predator for the FPC Sanibel Lunch Run.
Bob's Canadian crew for Friday also included APBA Offshore racers, and TUFF boat builders Mark and Dana Weigl.
A few minutes into the run, Bob proved once again why he is the Canadian Ambassador to South West Florida, stopping to pick up 5 more passengers.
We had a great lunch at Cabbage Key with Jackie, Stu, Laura and Bruno from FPC, and Elizabeth from Beer Money.
Bob, thanks again for a memorable day, being able to spend time with my Dad on your boat was an experience that neither of us will soon forget.

Thanks, Steve. Nice to meet your dad and have some time with you as well as Mark and Dana and various FPC members again. We had a fantastic ride both Friday with you and Saturday on the club run down to Everglades City.
Keep well, my friend.

Bob

You ever notice that no matter what pic you see Bob in, he ALWAYS has that same grin on his face...

No Tom. That is Bill Lemanske's 34 Fountain CC. There was a Deep Impact CC there as well but did not make the Friday lunch run.

Bob was grinning when he pulled up, and he was grinning when we left him 8 hours later

His great attitude set the tone for the entire day .....

seemed like MI was out in full force, Bill on the CC and John on the Apache are home boys also

Steve glad your dad got to enjoy the day and Bob's hospitality is second to none, sharing something like that with your dad makes a good day, GREAT and one to remember forever.

We had a blast on the run friday with my boat, and on saturday we ran in Michigan's "Big Ken" & Karen Trelfa's outerlimits with world and national offshore champ Jeff Haylett, btw Jeff drove my fountain cc on friday and got us first to cabbage key, not bad for a center console and a ex champ.
