Ok, so I am making an appearance...it's Erin here; Nick's wife for those I have not met.
I have to say; what a GREAT weekend! And what a wonderful crew to be with It's been years since I have shared residence with brothers....they treated me like 'one of the guys'; that's all I'm saying
The experience of riding along with the kids and families was quite eye opening; and made me realize how fortunate we are. They were so excited to get on the boat and did not stop smiling the entire time!!!! Especially those that can go back to school and say they 'drove' a boat that Friday. What an experience!!!
Saturday was just as awesome! Stops at Cabbage Key and the ad-hoc Tween was great. We just were not ready to go back in for the day. The day unfolded with more and more laughs, good times and camraderie; even though I was the sacrificial lamb...
I want to thank all for their hard work, dedication and open hearts!
Alec, Chris, Craig and Nick (ok I may be biased with him ) are one class act!
Thanks again for one hell of a weekend; Key West watch out!

Hello Ms Patri Yacht! Nice to meet you virtually. There was no keeping in line this weekend; it was more like go along with the flow. I had an awesome time with these guys
I would say the big kids had their fun in our own kinda way.
Look forward to meeting you in KW.

Hello Erin
I'm not bias, and THEY ARE A CLASS ACT.
I'm so upset that I missed out, but I'll see all of you in KW.
PLife is: what happens... when you plan something else.

10-19-2009 03:02 PMThe weekend was magical! 102 powerboat rides given and just under $10,000.00 raised for children in need! It is the big hearted individuals that make all of this possible! Thank you to everyone involved, especially the volunteers that gave up their time to make a difference! A special Thanks to SOS, Teague Custom Marine, Nor-Tech, Taod and Mti for sponsorshing the event! The Platinum Powerboat Club may be a small intimate club but as everyone can see very powerful with it's intent! Granting wishes, 1 event at a time! So far the club has raised over $60,000.00 for children in need, $15,100.00 has been raised because of Michael Cooper's Bicycle! Over 400 Make a Wish family members have shared our passion of powerboating! Pretty cool stuff! Don't forget to visit Performance Images for all of the photo's!

Bob gets it.
Giving back to those that need help and sharing his prosperity with the community we all live in." It's all about the kids"
Kudos to Mr. Teague for presenting this event and the other sponsors that made this happen. A special thank you to Team Nortech for all their assistance to the SOS guys.
