I love hanging out with the Delray guys but I do not live in Delray and am not a member (although Chip and Bob gave me an honorary membership one year). Also the locals did not like it when the race was part of the series. They felt like it was not their race anymore.

I do not live in Briny Breezes but keep my boat there frequently. I also started leaving my boat on Singer Island before I even lived there. I lived in hotels with no fixed address but my boat (it was actually my brothers boat) had a home. The key is to get to know the locals and they will tell you what you can or can't do. Also make friends with the beach bums. They make good 24 hour security if you let them sleep under your boat.

One of the local Briny Breezes residents wants a race there so we are planning one from Briny Breezes through the Palm Beach Inlet circumnavigate Peanut Island and back to Briny Breezes. The resident wants to put $1,000 toward the purse and the entries will be put toward the party with a band at the end.

Of course the Delray guys will get the first invites.
