2008-03-25 Tuesday - after a most enjoyable dinner ( not as good as the RPYC ) all of us signed up for the Yacht Clubs Bingo Night .. and what a good move that was for Len ( YATCH Z ) who won the Grand Prize of the evening ..

2008-03-26 Wednesday - as we headed out from Venice Ed ( MAD HATTER ) had a rocky start .. first an Officer in a Law Enforcement Boat said that he rocked him in a No Wake area then one of the Bridge Tenders TOLD Ed that he did not do anything on 'demand' only on 'request' .. Bob and Judy's ( INTERLUDE ) day started with a sputter .. one of their Engines started to sputter when we were just a few miles from Venice .. when we were in the Sarasota area we passed Steve and Mary ( LIBERTY BLUE ) from the Legacy Harbour Marina in Fort Myers .. they are going to head up the River System to Wisconsin for the Summer .. all of us except INTERLUDE made it to the Bradenton Yacht Club ( about 51 miles ) by 01:15 pm .. and INTERLUDE was docked by 02:45 pm ..

.. CHRISTINA ( Chris and Len ) were unable to leave Fort Myers yesterday due to LOW water in their Cannel .. they were able to get out today and joined us at the YC about 05:30 pm just in time for our 06:00 pm Docktails .. the Marina was FULL so they rafted off next to DEE LIGHT .. and Len said that he NEEDED a Docktail after his trip here .. went aground etc .. made for good dinner talk .. and yes right after Docktails at the Tiki Hut we had a great dinner at the Yacht Club ..
