speaking of downwinders on sunday, I have a really neat idea.

How about Bahia bch to Skyway south , about 12 miles thru sand bars and mangrove islands in shallow water to occasionally deeper water with smal waves?

Lori and I will prolly do it , anybody else care to join in?

( this is all across the east side of Tampa bay if anybody needs a google map , this is pretty much the course:

)

I am definitely up for downwinders and now Donna has a dry suit! so this will be her first (long) Gulf DW (she did a fifteen miler on the East coast this summer). Usually strong NW means cold and she has passed.

Should be KILLA! We might even have a couple of east coast guys staying with me to join us. Start/finish ideas?

Raul,
That sounds awesome, except if something breaks, how would you get back? (Walk a few miles of shallows, I assume)

Oh... don't leave today out of the picture, it might blow around 2 or 3

[bayflite]

yeah raul.
come on man...letz get some wave action.
cowabunga dude.

Yeah , if something breaks in the flats then walk a few miles to Piney Point where the road comes into the water.

Or, wait for me to put the boat on my dock in the water to rescue you. ( Lori lost her board last year and I picked her up this way ). but chances are small.

HEY!!! THATS MY LINE DUDE!!!
