Hate to do this but looks like mother nature isn't cooperating this weekend. Strong cold front forecasted to come in Friday night causing rain and windy conditions for the weekend. With the conditions we have to reschedule. I set the new date on May 5th-6th. Sorry guys and gals!

I'm planning on still taking my boat out around Tampa Bay area though. If you want to meet up and cruise.

That would put me down there in the bad weather and no where to hide.

Since the boat is ready and the schedule is already cleared I think I'm going to head north and explore some spots I've not seen yet.

Thanks for the update.
We will look forward to May.

Updated the meetup to April 14-16th so it's not too hot yet. Let's hope weather holds up if it doesn't might have to go til May.

My friend, who was going with me, alerted me to red tide in that area. I have looked at the FWC map and it does look like a medium concentration has been reported in that area recently.

Does any live near there to give us a red-tide report before we travel that way?

Please disregard my previous post. As it looks like the event has been rescheduled.

How many boats do we have for the 14-16?

I'm not sure yet but weather is looking good this weekend! So unless it takes a turn for the worst the meetup is on!

I'm starting that way tomorrow afternoon.

Awesome! I'm planning on being there Friday night. You know where to launch?

I'm launching at the Steinhatchee boat ramp.

I should be there Friday afternoon if I don't have any serious problems.

Sweet! Save us a spot on the north side of the island. Be safe out there

Less than 24 hours to go! I'm hoping to be at the island before nightfall tomorrow. Reminder we'll be meeting at the Northside of the island. Hope everyone travel safe!
