I thought that was what I was seeing. Are they doing okay with water levels now? Last time I was there the restaurant at the marina had water in it.

We will see you at the run. I will be in the Allison and my son will be running the blue STV with the 75 on it.

Yes some of the places have water problems just when high tide comes but my dads place is pretty dry , he only usually has a problem when there’s a storm surge and His house sits about 12’ off the ground, we’ll see u there joe I think I’m gonna do the fri ride to the gulf and stash some fuel at his house , I usually stay around my place but I’m ready for a good long ride

Until they are not. I know someone that was bitten earlier this year buy an 8 footer that sneaked up on him. Could have lost his leg but was very lucky!

Yes an any body of water I get in , I’m very aware of my surroundings , have yet to have a close call , thank god , what startled me the most one time was a manatee! Me and my son were in the river , bout waste deep and I know the current in the river but this was diff I grabbed him and backed him up and was pointing out that there’s something their and a couple seconds later his head popped up but he swam in right where we were standing

I was down there 3 years ago. Went to the dead end with the little park. Suwannee on one side and another inlet on the other side with a restaurant. Cool little bridge that goes thru an area with a store on the river side.

Sounds like down by the gulf

I have been to every event in Florida over the last 16yrs and I’ve seen more deer swimming or floating than gators at suwannee. The race boat events are planned by people who live in the area for 30+yrs. they plan them when it’s cool out for obvious reasons mostly due to the sturgeon jumping in the summer months. They are the ones that sneak up cruising at 80-90 that’s why we don’t go when they are around.

A little history of my place , my wife calls the adult fort which pretty much sums it up . My father purchased this property about 30 yrs ago, we’ve been camping on it ever since ,he then gave me sweetheart deal on it and then I purchased the acre next to me . everything that’s there has been built by us and then some rebuilt by me

This property is also responsible for me being here , me and my dad were down there to work on some stuff and there happen to be one of foleys runs going on , I had never seen so many bad ass boats in my life , we did nothing all day but sit on the bank and watch the show , I turned to him and said I’m getting one of those , he said bull**** ur wife ain’t never gonna let u have one , well here I am and btw way my wife was pissed for like 2 weeks but finally I got her to go for a ride and now I can’t take it out without her!!!..... I’ll post some of the beginning of the camp and some of the stuff we’ve made shortly
