Good food, good time, great people.
It was nice to meet everyone and thanks for not picking on this "northerner" too much.

See you next time we are down this way.

Thanks Ken. It also killed us that you and Patti couldn`t make it. You were greatly missed and constantly in our thoughts. Cracker Air is awesome.





The Keys lifestyle fits Skip to a tee.




The master engineer in his element.






The Seafari really is the most versatile platform made.

The 21 ft version will just be that much better!









Here we find Carla ridin` the bow in search of the perfect Bug holes.





There are some real characters in the Keys.





Mmmmmm Bugzzzzz!






Wonderful hosts with a wonderful view.










The planerboard was a deadly weapon for spotting Nobone`s many years of invaluable numbers, if you know what you`re looking at. I skipped over some great spots because I was lacking valuable experience. Lessons learned.





Martha Stewart doesn`t have a view like this.





Many many thanks for all that I have learned and for the gracious hospitality.


Cheers,
Sandy

I think GFS said it all and showed some great pictures.
A fabulous time with great people and even meeting new friends.

Ken, we left some lobsters in the water and look forward to your visit!

Great post Sandy! It really was a fun trip - got to meet lots of nice folks!

With a full width 30" deep swim platform and full sun top for plenty of shade, it's hard to find a better dive boat (unless it's a 25!) We ran into Tiny from Lake Park with his similarly outfitted yellow I/O Seafari. Sorry I didn't get a picture of that rig.

Here's a shot of the crew reeling in 300' of hose from Ken's Cracker Air rig! Sandy cranked the reel, Skip guided the hose and Carla stood on the reel to hold it down!

Thanks Carla, Danny, and Denny.

Sorry I didn`t get a pic of Tiny`s boat either. I see old SC`s all the time, and always wonder if they are on the site.

Denny chased a Moray eel out of a hole shared by a nice fat bug. The big ones are crafty and they all seem to have back doors. Saw some small nurse sharks, and didn`t even hum the theme from JAWS.

Cheers,
GFS

I hear there may be another monumental gathering when plumbing improvements are made.

We also need to head down for some sandin` and glassin` parties on the 21.

Cheers,
GFS

Thats why there is 150ft of clear hose and 150ft. of yellow
hose, so you know who is where and what is what.....
That little dive rig has produced hundreds of bugs over
the years. I know it is a "PAIN" in the azz for who ever stays in the boat cause of the noise... but,
the end result is what makes it worth while!!!

See ya, Ken
