The only non-Skater outboard allowed......

From the Manatee Ave Bridge, the Tampa Sunshine Skyway bridge makes a nice backdrop. However, it's a long way off to the Skater and the bridge for my equipment to do the shot justice.

Next year they should consider having an award for the most secure tie-up at the docks.

This one was rumored to have taken 4 people an hour....:sifone:

Just got home. What a fun weekend. 3 days of boating without a drop of rain.

Used a line on each of all 6 cleats. Circus act perfection.

Used a line on each of all 6 cleats. Circus act perfection.

Looks like some of them have more than one line. Like every helper had a different idea of how to tie up. Too funny.....

But, it was not going to get loose and rub the dock in the night.

We had such a great time. Chris throttled for lunch run Friday. David and I ran around Thursday and Saturday. All the tracks on GPS made navigating easy for me.

Met a number of people and learned a few back stories on my boat and Troys boat.

Already looking forward to next gathering.

Cheers

Thanks to Chris Lamorte!!
