There will be a group of people getting together Saturday to run from DeLand (St Rt 44) up to Silver Glen and then to Renegades *if lake George isn't blown up". We are thinking of leaving the ramp around 10. The speed limit up to Lk. George is 30 mph so watch for grey and green center consoles (they carry lasers now). Should be a decent size group from the response so far. Everyone is welcome but please use your head as we already seem to have targets on our backs.

So, you should be coming through Astor around 10:30.
I hope the storms lay back by then. With this disturbance in the gulf storms have been starting up around 1:00 almost every day. And they are strong, lots of wind and lightning.
We’re doing a staycation in Astor this week so we’ll hook up when you guys come through. You going to be in the STV? What other boats should I look for?
And I can confirm the enforcement, we don’t even take the Talon south anymore, no fun at all. They sit in Beresford and then just north of the last no wake before the lake. Lately they have been doing targeted enforcement for sea lice (Jet Skis). They used our little community ramp to launch additional enforcement boats a couple weekends ago. I cannot believe how many skis are on the river on the weekends. One ass hat almost drove over my transom a couple weeks ago when I came off plane for the no wake zone @ South Moon
Kind of embarrassed to ask but I usually don’t need to refuel the Talon on the river. Is there anyone pumping Premium? I can get ethanol free at Midway in Astor but I think it’s only 89. Good enough for the Yamaha on the Key West but not for the XS.
30 mph speed limit ! Talk about some fun sukkers .

New Smyrna weather says 20% rain Saturday and of course it could change. Maybe we'll get lucky and the storm system in the gulf will keep us dry for the weekend.
Just got home and pulled the boat out, got oil coming out between the lower and midsection, looks like my shift shaft seal popped out again, get some good photos for us joe !!everyone be safe and have a good time
Pretty bummed, draining water
Give me a call-we have the fix.Quote:

...of course cruising is pretty nice when you get to sit back and enjoy the hum of twin 300's behind ya!Quote:
