Pre Toys for Tots Lunch run.... Not for the weak hearted
On Friday Dec 4th we are going to make that sensational run from the host hotel in Palatka to 3 Bananas in Crescent City. The lunch run will start at 1:00 midday from the Palatka Bridge and proceed South to Dunn’s Creek through Dunn’s and then across Crescent lake [the location of many world records ] across the lake to 3 Bananas for lunch.
If you ever saw the chase seen from the old James Bond movies “Live and let Die” and wish you were in that action ,,,now is your chance . Dunn’s Creek has turns twists cut backs and all the winding action you would ever want . Some have said that it was the best part of the TFT run last year.
The Fish and Game guy said that they would put me in Jail if we ran the Toy run again in Dunn’s Creek but he said nothing about a lunch run . So this year we will make it our Friday lunch run. The Creek is tight enough to challenge the handling of a 18 foot tunnel but big enough to accommodate a 43foot Fountain . [I saw Bill Mazzoni of Taboo do it ] . This is going to be SENSATIONAL FUN,,, and if the Fish and game guy comes by and put Rus in Jail I know you will all bond him out. Some one from this posse knows the Sheriff maybe we should take Mr. Hardy with us . . That Twisty winedy snakey creek and a great lunch… BE THERE

I have some fresh water boating friends in Orlando.I will pass your original post to them. In case they left the local area. Which is probably the case. Others should do the same, maybe we can cover the state at least.
good luck,

We haven't heard anything. Please keep an eye out, but the chances of getting the boat back don't look good. I hear that there have been a lot of problems at Lee Wenner with theft, so everyone be careful if you put in or dock there.
Plastic tank. Fiberglass would deteriorate and I believe that aluminum oxidizes. Not iron oxide rust but oxidation nonetheless. Boats made after 1994 are supposed to have ethanol compatible gas tanks. Do you agree? Do you replace the water separatio…

What is the status on your boat? Have you heard anything?
I am still looking on the weekends.

Saw your boat heading in at the port Wednesday. We had been out to 8A and points north of there, not a lot of luck, Cuda and sharks. Was looking to see how you did Wednesday for comparison, I hope your report doesnt depress me too much.
