Super Bowl Ad Replays

wrote: damn bridges. :) thats why i like the contender - not much height. how come you are leaving the gb at St. Pete? We are driving back up Thursday night to play race committee boat for one of my oldest son's sailing regattas this weekend - 505 mid-winter championships or something like that. We did it last year and had a good time. The boats are exciting to watch in any kind of breeze - lightweight planing dinghies with the crew hanging from a trapeze wire out over the water. These things get going about 20 kts in decent wind and capsize in spectacular fashion if not handled just right. I'll post a couple of pictures later. After that I'm taking a weeks vacation from my stress filled life here in SWFL and we will cruise somewhere, haven't quite decided just where yet but there are lots of choices ranging from Long Boat Key, Sarasota and Venice to the north, or south to Naples, Marco Island, the Everglades and Keys. There is an inlet to the Everglades at Shark River that I've been itching to explore. Supposedly it is only habitable in the winter when the skeeters are dormant. If you see a flying GB49 that is making funny buzzing noises you'll know that we got it wrong... |
