Sounds like you put quite a few boat miles on John. Have a safe trip home.

Scoot

Today was my last day in Florida. I drove up to Palatka and launched on the St Johns River. I headed south till I got to Dunns Creek then proceeded to Crescent Lake. Ate lunch in the boat while drifting on the lake. Then went back through Dunns Creek and proceeded south on the St Johns till I reached the Oklawaha River. I cruised up the river a ways but it was getting late so I decided to start heading back to Palatka. I got back at five o'clock then drove back to Tavares. I will try to get an early start in the morning. It is always hard to leave Florida but it is also good to get home again.

It was no Crestliner, but very nice.

I believe he is mistaken. His is a run-of-the-mill vagabond.

I do believe all the motors and the nine boats belong to Alan.

Thanks for the photos! Is that trailer full of motors from one guy, or is that the communal display pavilion?

Lastly my 1950 FC Skipper on a Holsclaw Boat Roadster trailer on display Friday in the AOMCI FL chapter area. I bailed Fri. evening to be able to go on the Silver Springs trip. I probably will not display at the show next year so I can do more boating! Great times! Great friends! Saturday morning my camera hit its memory limit so that's it for my pics other than a few duplicates. I hope others still have some to share. Lesa?
