DQ- I ended up over in Sherman Cove/then over to the Fort. It worked out very nice and the show was great. I know Bayou Grande would have been a better view but we enjoyed the day. Anyhow, thanks for the offer and help. We need to get together sometime. And those are some great Pics thanks for shari...

Where would be the best place to see the show from the water? In Grande Bayou or out in the BAY? I know this show is a little different being on the base and not over the beach like the summer show.

Thanks,

I am in slip C-5. As you pull in the marina it is on your left about 5 slips before Calypso's. It is actually my Dads slip but his boat has been being redone for almost 2 years and counting!

DQ-

They are calling for winds variable to 5kts out of the north this weekend and 75 deg F.

ANNIE C is in Orange beach marina and the current situational report is good! Will be there Friday evening to make my own assessment.

amuh60

Anyone in the area planning on watching the show Saturday? Looks like the weather will be great! If everything goes as planned the family and ANNIE C will be on the water watching the show.

Good choice.

Thinking about bringing my boat over to Venice either this month or next. Is it easy to get a slip at the Marina there for a week or two? When do you think the tuna/wahoo bite is the best?

Thanks,

Andy

Harry-

Two new elbows were ordered yesterday. Those things looked brand new on the outside but had very few pin holes on the inside. Anyhow, they will be in the end of the week. I also appreciate the advice and pictures are great. Now I know what is inside the thing.

Mixing Elbow

DQ-

Thanks for the contact

My Turbo locked up. I took it and the mixing elbow off the engine and took to the local diesel shop. The mechanic informed me he had it freed up. He said the mixing elbow had some pin holes to be the culprit for letting some water corrode the exhaust side. He said it would be good to put back on. Sh...

Bruce- I just got my 1970 36 Hatteras hull insured and had a very hard time finding a carrier for that era hull. Believe it or not BOAT US is who I finally got the policy with. I believe they use a carrier by the name of CNA Marine, NYC. My premium was a little high due to the Gulf Coast area. I und...

Tommy- I had to run thru channel 5 in the keys. The Okechobee was closed due to lock maintenance for the sea cows! Anyhow, the trip was great but not a whole lot of sight seeing because I only had weekends to run. So it was run, run and run some more. I went from VA, MooreHead City, Charleston (jett...

John F.- I wish you would have let me know you were headed to Hawaii! That was my stomping grounds from 2006-2009. When I was not deployed somewhere. Anyhow, I had my 25 bertram at Haleiwa harbor.

I would like to post a sincere THANKS to everyone who helped and offered assistance and advice throughout my 1300NM maiden voyage bringing the new ANNIE C home from Virginia beach.

Kevin- Are there any military base marinas in the Ft. Lauderdale/ Miami area. I know there is Boca Chica Marina in Key West but cant find anything in the Ft. Lauderdale area. Only reason I ask is we are talking .50-.85 per ft vs 2.00. per night.

-Andy

amuh60

Kevin- Looks like I will only make it to Ft. Lauderdale this weekend. I only have Saturday and Sundays to run. Anyhow, it would be the following weekend (17-19) I will be making that run thru and as far north as I can get in 2 days and 21kts.

Thanks again,

ANDY

Capt Patrick-

I definitely like that idea better. Looks like it would save a good many miles. I am going to start studying the chart for that route tonight. I only draft 3' so looks like I should be plenty fine.

Thanks,

Just got off the phone with the Navigation manager and the waterway is closed 6JUL-5SEP. They are doing maintenance to the major locks on the Ft. Myers side. Looks like I will be heading around the tip! Anyhow, thought I would post just in case someone were planning to use the waterway.
