Thanks for the pic. I was actually in Florida on business this past week and came home to our first major storm of the season. It was nice while I was there and cold, snowy, and very windy when I got back. I only have a little over two months until I'll be getting it ready for the summer.

No offence intended, but I hate you. Things are a bit different up here ...

You Floridians kill me, Ours is wrapped up and winterized, and to add insult to injury, we got 3" of snow this Am. No wonder why I drink more in the Winter. Beautiful 10 Meter BTW !!!!

A friend took this photo of a post card and texted it to me while he was in Florida, having a great time. Some friend he is... :roll:

Hey - I did Orlando, Clearwater, and Winter Haven for almost 2 weeks in June and Tampa for 3-4 days in July. I would take that over February in Ontario any day. You just gotta get rid of that salt water crap and replace it with fresh water so it doesn't hurt my boat so much...

Plus we find plenty of ways to cool off.http://partycovefl.com/default.aspx

So true, one day I swore that the faster I went on the boat the hotter it got!
