AT&T cell phone photo transfer from Cedar Key is a little spotty. Two pics are all that I can load. Will try again mañana.
Bare Bones is working great.

Richard, your boat looks great, but where's the poling platform? Are you going to put a platform on the boat or no? If you're bringing it to Jensen Beach we can have an FS18 race. Hope to see you there. Mike

Mike, I’m probably not going to make Jensen. First grandkid is due in two weeks, very excited. :D
Poling platform will be on sometime in the near future. It’s on our TTD list.
The race would be fun, we will for sure have to do it.

Time to bust the dust off this thread. :D
Hand Turkey is off on a solo adventure to Mosquito Lagoon.
Wish I could have went-maybe next year. Life tends to throw some mean curveballs.
First day pics of the soon to be documented adventure...
