Yep someone crashed and died last night. Alcohol and speed are possibly involved.

So it's your fault she wants to go back ... LOL
We are taking the winter months to build a couple new sets of powerheads , a new boat house and storage area on our property. The cat was a new toy and I kind of ran it ragged ...

We do look forward to coming up a few times next summer. Some really great peeps up that way .. !

They said on the news there was an accident and death?

RIP to whomever it was that lost their life needlessly.
You guys , unfortunately called this one correctly.
I still really hate to see society as a whole have to pay the price for a few bad apples. Be it at the airport , a simple road side stop or out on our navigable waterways.
Many out on the water have no idea what the cute little red and green bow light's stand for. Seems like the law is : I got here first or my boats bigger than yours . Add that mentality to the blinders provided by too much alcohol and even the 15 knot speed limit can be lethal .
I guess until the day comes that people learn their limits , or friends step up and take the keys away from those that need to sleep it off. Then we will be stuck with ever tightening restrictions ..

All you so fla boys need to come on up to the St Johns and enjoy some FRESH water, WIDE open runnin any direction you want with out worring about depths, and some Old Florida laid back mindset, BBQ Brews and no Attitudes other than " is there anything I can help you with? " Mrs Chaz has just set the bar for the next "St Johns Run"

It's my understanding some renovations are underway to the last site, and some completely New establishments are in the making in the same general area. Belive me, I love the keys, and want to come when you guys do the "Toilet Seat Creek" runs

, absolutely love the area, we'll be there
