The Florida District has a number (the exact number I don't know) of skippers in attendance at the Masters Championship in Ft. Walton Beach, Oct. 18 and 19. As reports come in I will post them here.
Hi all, Mark Taylor here. Time for another series of my Scot junk mails.
Day 1 - Thusday.
Dad and I left around noon for Fort Walton Beach Fl. We decided to go up the Vetran's expressway and 19. Trip was easy, dad driving the entire trip while I worked in the car.
We arrived in Fort Walton around 7pm and dropped the boat at the club. We checked into the hotel and looked for a place to eat and watch the Rays game. Stopped at a dive bar "Crab Shack" Jan and Dean met us at the bar for a few drinks and the game. We ordered a Bucket of seafood - Oysters, King Crab, Dungeness Crab, mussels, shrimp and crawdaddies. Great night of food and drinks - end of the game was crap. We made up for it with oyster shooters and raw oysters - YUM!
Go Rays!
Day 2- Friday
Went to the club early to setup the boat and scrub the bottom. Helped Dean put new jib cleats on seat. Al, Jeff and Amy arrived and Judy (Dean's skipper) arrived 30 min later.
We all launched are boats and went for a sail. Breeze about 8-12 with flat water. Everyone had their moments, we all seem fast. When we hit the dock Ron Plesh had arrived from Sarasota.
Had a quick burger/dog dinner out on the point at the club - weather degrading as front gets closer. We all decide to go out for raw oysters. 10 dozen oysters downed by Judy, Jan, Dave, Mark, Tom, Al, Jeff and Amy - WOW those are good!
Headed back to rooms around 9 - hope it is not blowing Sat.
Go Rays!
