A group of boaters from the Key West poker run assembed an impromptu tribute this morning that was halted by the Coast Guard. In a report from the course, the boaters planned a three-lap tribute run, one lap for each of the fallen racers. The run was taking place after the completion of today’s first race. Approximately one lap in, the Coast guard moved a 100-foot cutter and two smaller patrol boats onto the course. Warnings were also broadcast over VHF. After approximately a 10-minute “discussion” between several poker runners and the Coast Guard, the tribute boats were forced to retire from the course. A light airplane towing a banner recognizing the racers continued to fly over the course and above the Key West harbor.
We will have more on this story as we receive it.
