I was hoping to party with some of my fellow RDP'rs! For anyone that has never gone, you have to put it on your bucket list. It's part New Orlenes carnival, part insane boating weekend, part paradise. Insane weekend! We try to make it every year. This year should be exceptionally epic since our buddy is flying us out on a Gulf Stream and running us down in his 43 Nor-Tech Cat. It will be well documented for RDP! :champagne:

I'm thinking your overestimating the RDP members net worth by a couple zeros....

Remember we get excited when 2Forcefull adds headers to a hallet or gets a new used van;):D

HAHAHA! I think you underestimate how cheap you can do this trip for actually. Trust me, I'm no baller...Not even close....Tickets to Miami or Lauderdale are anywhere from 3-400 round trip!! Rent a car for a couple days and stay at motel 6. You can be into this whol trip for under 2k. Especially if you bring a buddy that will split the car and room...Not much for a trip of a lifetime!!;)

There's always people with open seats for a little gas money...You gotta be creative bro.

And you're talking to a guy with a 2.5 y/o at home. Wifes sister is watching him for us.

DO IT! you wont regret it. You don't even need a boat to have a good time. Unlike Havasu, SCOPE and some of the others, the KW poker run is a point A to point B run....meaning once you're there, you're there (except for the fun run to the sand bar on Sat.) everyone ends up partying in town on Duvall and watching the races. You absolutely don't need a boat to have a great time.

Say hi to Jay for me...

:beer

:champagne:

It's possible that I won't even see his big azz in the crowds.
Maybe he will wave as they run under the Card Sound Bridge. :D

I'll be shooting the Saturday run from the swim platform of a 92 Ferletti.

Jay, I swear I've never made Saturdays run in all these years because I'm so f*ckin' hung over I can't even get out of bed. Was supposed to run over with GL in the Drambuie boat last year. He calls at 8 am, I couldn't even answer the phone. HURTIN'!! I'm making it my mission to get over there this year. You going to be riding with Bob? Look for us, we'll be on this....

I've wanted to go for a long time. I have the time now so maybe I'll do it!

Sure would like to haul my boat out there but it would probably cost me $3K just in gas between the truck and boat!

Anybody need a driver to get their truck and boat out there?

Hey Al, a few SCOPE guys are going. Tim McCray, Dan Ellis, Mike West, Tom Witham and I think Sean Clancy are all going. Mario Lapke is taking out Tims Cigarette, coming back and then taking out Mikes 40 CC. I don't know how tight you are with those guys but might be worth looking into;)

I'll post on the scope sight. Tom, Tim, Dan and Mike were all down at Dana over Memorial Day with me. What are the dates?

Last year on the Saturday run to Boca Grand I went out with Bob and came back on Jim Wiley's 70 Azimut to get jump shots of everyone.
Didn't work out all that great because the Statement turbine ran out of fuel and we had to tow it back to the fuel dock in Key West. :grumble:

This year I will be on Flight Club's 92 Ferletti out and back.
Hit the wake and I'll get some air shots of ya. :D

Here are a few shots from Saturday run last year. It was a blast. Try to pace yourself this year. :champagne:

So looking forward to this trip and like Tank says you don't even need to have your boat to have a blast.

The only issue people could have now is getting a room, it seems that a lot of people want to get married on 11/11/11 so there are a lot of weddings this year.

but that also means that there will be a lot of drunk bridesmaids running around :)

Yes, Friday nights seem to really catch up to me. But that's after partying til 4 am wed and thursday nights too! I just may be getting too old for that type of partying! I don't even remember that pic being taken. :hmm But I do remember you falling down onto the couch in the bar that had the drag show!!!:D:D

Of course the main problem is that drink in my left hand....After drinking 10 redbulls and Vodkas in 4 hours, I'm like the walking dead!!:champagne:

Man, I see a few boats that I recognize in those pictures!

Sure wish I could be there but we just bought a house so we're going to be busy.

Of the many times I've been to FLA I've never boated. Someday I'll get to spend some time out there.
