Well, thanks to you "well intentioned party boys" you reminded me that absolute and lemonade is absolutley the best summer drink of all, especially while watching the Car's cartoon movie. :D

Re: Another Summer Roundup

It's even better if you use the Absolute Citron (lemon flavored) and a splash of marishino cherry juice. I'm slowly but surely making my way thru the iBoaters roster, converting them into lushes like myself...misery loves company...

Just remember, the liver is an evil organ and it must be punished.

Re: Another Summer Roundup

SWABBIE, if I may call you that, I believe there will be get togethers every year, now. Our St Augustine get together was at the end of June, as you know. Start makin' plans for next year, Pal!!! I'm Quite sure that all it will take for a get together to happen is a post.:D

PS: Oh, and by the way, you may want to leave your liver at home!!!:rolleyes:

VH...hold on a second, my friend. You totally missed the fall. After Sasto's get together in Spetember (isn't it September yet?!?), I still have to get our boat back to Sanford, Fl. That means another trip back around thru Jacksonville around the end of October. Doesn't mean we can't stop for a day or two in St. Augustine or Jacksonville...:rolleyes:

How far is Jax from you guys??? :D

Well... If I had actually thought about it, I might agree with you. I never even thought about the fall regarding SWABBIE, because of his wife's teaching career. He had said that when school is in session, they can't go on vacation. Now that I'm thinking about it, I don't even remember if there is or isn't a fall break.:redface:

And another thing... When it comes to talk of stopping in St Augustine or Jacksonville, I'd appreciate it if you'd get that sarcastic look off your face.:rolleyes::p;):D

And one more thing... Regarding September...

VH, theirs not a doubt in my mind that this great thing you guys have going will continue on......

God willing, one of these days, you are "guaranteed" to see my smiling face.
And I'm buying. :D

Blank? What blank... I didn't see any blank!!! If I had seen a blank, believe me... I'd fill it in!!! We're talking about sasto, now... Better make it a big blank.:D

Middle of August, huh? You must like it reeeaaally warm... and humid.:eek:

The St Augustine Get Together Is based on Fireman's 250+ mile voyage to get his boat 35 miles from where it was.:cool: That is just SOOO cool.:cool: If I remember correctly, he embarked later than he would have liked. I'm pretty sure he generally takes off prior to June. Either way, we'll get together. One thing I learned very quickly about Fireman... Well there was probably more than one...:rolleyes: But anyway, he loves to be on the water with iboaters. We had an incredible time, on and off the water.

With enough prior planning, I believe I can safely say that we'll make it happen. I think summer is the best time for sasto and mrs sasto. I'm not sure when the best time for nlain is; but I'm sure he'll let us know. SWABBIE? How about you?

Buying??? What are you buying? All of the bullpucky we've been throwing around?

Hopefully you're reading what I was posting while you were posting...:)

What do you think?... Is next year enough notice?.. Spring, summer? Let's see what we can get going.

Fireman will chime in soon and say, "What's wrong with next week?" Don't worry, though, he'll come up with some brilliant way of convincing himself that next year is only a week away before any of us can finish telling him, "It's not actually a whole year away.";)

Fireman, I'm taking full advantage of your discovery of the fountain of youth!!!:D

Re: Another Florida Summer Roundup

Regarding the trip back around to Sanford, I can do that one with less than a week's notice. Only Mrs. Fireman needs to arrange time off from work (hack, hack, cough, cough...to sick to come in...)

Hell, VH...arrange something in your neck of the woods. It's all dry roads 'twixt here and there...we'll be there! Gauranteed!

Shoot...let's all do some driving and make it a Keys trip!

Re: Another Florida Summer Roundup

As to the best time for me to attend, well at this time I work the first Saturday of every month, that weekend is out, the rest of them for St Augustine/Jacksonville Fl would pretty much work for me. Close enough if I brought the boys they would not have to miss school for a weekend trip, as long as the money holds out. :D

Now, Swabbie, I went to Google maps, Carbondale to St Augustine is only 14 hrs 8 mins away from you. :rolleyes: I will have to say that is quite a drive, I would want a little more than a weekend.

How about your next Carib vacation take place at the Rum Cay, Bahamas Marina. Another favorite little hideaway of mine. We will be glad to join you. We can catch a puddle jumper from Nassau.


Blank? What blank... I didn't see any blank!!! If I had seen a blank, believe me... I'd fill it in!!! We're talking about sasto, now... Better make it a big blank.

I found the blank! I rec'd swimmers ear a couple days ago spearfishing. I layed on my side and Kimi treated it with a mix of alcohol and peroxide. It came out my other ear and now I have it in both!

Good to hear, coolguy.

Want to go for a sightseeing cruise or go fishing? Sure thing.

Bring what you can..... and no worries.

What's wrong with tomorrow?

Nothing, Fireman. :D

I'm all for that!

Hey Everyone! Hope that you don't mind one of the "upper Chesapeake" guys posting in your thread :D I have been watching this thread for awhile and having a hard to keeping up sometimes :)

When I saw Firemans statement above it really got my attention! I have only been to the keys once about 10 years ago for just a couple days but I can't wait to get back there someday. If you guys seriously plan a Keys trip sometime, I may just have to jump on a plane on join you guys!

Hope that you have a great September gathering!!!

Welcome Blue Crabber! Anytime anyone wants to make a quick Keys run, we're there! We have stayed everywhere from Largo to Key West (...OMG...the Duval Crawl!!! :eek:)

Looe Key is a great place for snorkeling, fishing, and not too far from the end. Pick a day and count us in!

We will let you join us in September, probably will destroy your liver, that would make you ready for whatever comes next. :D:D:D

I was typing while Fireman was posting, I must warn you, watch out for that guy, he is the reason your liver will get destroyed. :facepalm:

Thanks for the welcome guys!!! I would love to join you for September but the Admiral and I are headed out to Lake Powell for a houseboat rental for our 5th wedding anniversary during your gathering. Just cant be at 2 places at once.

Maybe next year though.
