Alva, Florida was  the backdrop for a quickly organized hot boat gathering by Gary Williams and other boaters that were looking for some fast boating on short notice. 

The Caloosahatchee River, located  in southwestern Florida's Lee County offered the perfect location for calm, fresh-water boating and informal speed runs. 

Over 30 boats were in attendance, including an airboat that was giving some the high performance outboard crowd a serious case of friendly insecurity.

Florida has always been a hotbed for high-speed river boating, and the gathering at Alva serves to underscore that reputation.
