    Default Florida Gathering in October, Another Ditch Run?

    I am gauging interest in a weekend run in October. The dates I am looking at are the 18th-20th. I am also thinking of a run from WP Franklin, east to Lake Okochobee and staying two nights at Roland Martin's Marina and Resort.

    This would be a fresh water run of about 60 miles e/w and would allow us the option of playing out on the lake if weather permits.

    We have been to the resort for a lunch stop on our cross-Florida trips and it is clean, has plenty of boat parking, fuel, pool, and a great outside bar/restaurant. Smokediver and I have been discussing this for a couple of years and I think it is time to make it happen.

    Let me know of any interest?

    I'm interested or if no interest what about a lake gathering somewhere else with clear water? I have never boated by you or in Sebring area.

    Actually Lake O is pretty clear when you get away from the coast.

    We have more interest from Smokediver, Mark (Naples), and Budmann. That is 3 or 4 boats so far.

    Steve (Fegettes) can't make it.

    The greatest risk is not taking one.

    This isn't about Clewiston. This about boating, with friends, and the comradery that exist between Donzi owners. Can't you feel the love?


    Thought was to run to RMs on Friday, eat, drink, be merry. Saturday have a run across, around, about the lake, (weather dependent) to somewhere undetermined at this time. Saturday eve have a party at the tiki bar. Actually, they do have a nice restaurant and bar there. Last time I was there, the food was excellent.

    This is trip that doesn't require a lot of things. Some of those being, thought and money. It is nice run, not too long, decent place to stay with plenty of dock space, decent price, fuel, and fresh water. Is it the Hyatt in Sarasota, no, but is something to do.

    It is what it is. Nothing too exciting, but something to do.
