I have not been able to organize attendance at a reunion or even a "mini" to this date and it doesn't look so good going forward. But I want to meet you.. maybe not all of you but a few more would be pleasant.  I have met two Fans who have come to visit and I enjoyed both days thoroughly. Gentlemen both who could be trusted with a boat. Just as I expected. So that said I extend an open invitation (as if it had to be said) to all members who find themselves adrift in the S Florida-Naples area. Conditions: You must like and appreciate warm buttery salt water, miles of white sand beach, cold beer, kids, dogs, bon fires, my beautiful wife and a full pull by a bow-tie powered gen II Ski Nautique? You are invited! Its February! Spring is here! Have a great summer everybody! John ------------- Jesus was a bare-footer............. |

My in laws have retired to Bonita springs ! I don't think that's too far from you! Would be awesome to meet you and your family and get some local knowledge as we may make several trips to the area over the next few years! John and Lisl, John Jr (13), Abby and Sara (10), and chocolate lab Kaycee! (Don't think she will make the trip!) ------------- Old school goin back to school! |

John I was just thinking about my swerve down the mangroves a few days ago. I some times overnight in Fort Myers. That would be a nice quick drive down to you. I'll look for something in next months schedule. I always keep a pair of board shorts in my bag just in case. ------------- 1999 Ski Nautique 196 |

Good idea Chris. Right now the center console is in the rack cause the water is 68* and my kids are sissies. End of March will see the boats swapped out and the SN back on the rack. See? winter and summer boats! Its no big deal to drag her down to the ramp if you are around though. ------------- Jesus was a bare-footer............. |

Early summer trips are finished, All peeps are In Da House. Water is pushing 86* I doesn't get dark till after 8:00 pm. The boat runs like, well, like she always runs>>> Perfect. I'm peeling days off here and there cause I can and its hot a a biotch. Haven't seen hide nor hair of Chris nor Kostas. Word on the street is we may see a CCF barefoot legend here for a weekend clinic in the next few weeks. Not like I need a third but I thought a friendly reminder was due. Just a thought, how much is Hollywood getting per appearance these days? Do you a get a discount for the whole wrecking crew? Is there some crazy binder like no brown M&Ms (per) Van Halen? I'm sure I could never afford it being but a simple man but I was curious none the less. At your service, John ------------- Jesus was a bare-footer............. |

Went through Naples 2 winters ago going from Miami to Clearwater. Salt and sharks would be something new for me. Could care less about the M&Ms, I'm careless and have melted enough chocolate everywhere and anywhere so that stuff typically stays home. Coors Light though, Miller and Bud give me a tummy ache.  ------------- |
