Getting any new converts now that the Christmas season has started?
So many sinners needing a good preaching!


I am looking for you to join my flock Donny. I can help you cleanse
yourself of the need to call folks names and insult them here.

What say you Donny?

After the antics of the Rev Jim Baker and the Rev Jim Jones...., I'd be
very nervous around any Rev Jims.....
They just don't seem 'Christian like'.

Saturday was absolutely perfect weather with temps in the low 80s and
not a cloud in the sky. The beach at Cayo Costa was more crowded than
normal however, maybe 40 or 50 people spread over 2 miles or so.
Usually we have it almost to ourselves.


This site has some photos of the boating at Tobermory at this time of the
year.
Very interesting waters.

Couple of nice photos there Jim, but you can keep the snow.
All of a sudden, our rain doesn't seem so bad.

Yep, as does *boating* in the snow. No thanks.

Hope all fellow boaters did or at least considered the same.



We were over in West Palm for turkey but we got out on the water
Saturday and today. The "birds" are back. Malfunction junction inside
Big Carlos Pass was packed. We stayed back in the mangroves and missed
most of the traffic. The tide was real low Saturday so it kept the
riffraff in the channel. I did see a few folks stuff it in the mud
trying to come over where we were. Ain't that "local knowledge" neat
;--)


I took the new boat south on Friday towards Naples Bay, Keewaydin Island,
Isles of Capri, Marco and Goodland. We tried to get lunch at the Snook Inn,
but there wasn't a slip available...and there were 4 or 5 boats waiting for
one to open. I ran towards Goodland, only to find Stan's still closed from
Wilma damage. Ran back to Snook Inn...and still crowded. Ran to Backwater
Nicks in Isles of Capri, and they're still closed from Wilma damage. Ran
back up to Naples Bay, and got hung up in a foot and a half of water smack
dab in the middle of the channel connecting Rookery Bay to the intracoastal
that runs from Keewaydin to Naples Bay. It was dead low tide. Got out and
pushed the stern to deeper water, and backed off the sandbar. That's the
second time I've run aground in a boat down here in 6 years...but the first
time that it happened in the middle of a channel. We finally made it to
Naples Bay, fueled up at the city dock, and ate at the City Dock restaurant.
Of course, all of the slips at the restaurant were full too...so I had to
pay the harbor master $20 to park the boat at the end of one of the piers.
So you're right...the snowbirds are back. I miss the summer months already.
:-(

It was the first long distance run that I made (except for transporting it
down here from Tampa), and the boat ran great. We had 7 adults and my 3
kids on board, and there was plenty of room for everyone.

No, I wish I could have, but it was waytoo cool (not cold) and breezy
for the lake I go to. Water gets pretty choppy, pretty easy.

No, insteaded my family, as well as mom & dad and my brothers family of
6 invaded my little brothers house for a fantastic meal and wonderful
time.

I'm glad he can provide a place where we can wreck the house then
leave. Justice I suppose, they all did it to our house for 10 years!

If y'll did go boating, I'm sure it was fun...or should ahve been

I try to go fishing every Thanksgiving, but waited until Friday this
year. Stripers didn't seem to be at the same place at the same time as
I was, and it was pretty nippy out, so I didn't want to run up and down
the lake looking for them, hence......skunked....
