I just now cancelled my reservation at the Islamorada Motel, Thursday-Monday. Large room, two beds w/kitchen, $99/night, 1 mile from regatta site. If you need a room call them now. 305-852-9376.

What in the jumpin-G-hoso-phats!? Did you just cancel because of a 5 day forecast!? Aren't you a pilot and someone who studies the weather quite a bit? You should know better than that....

on second thought...go ahead. That pretty much GUARANTEES two of the most beautiful sailing days for the year.

And the air temps? Upper 70's, right? What's the water temp down there now, I think the Gulf near Tampa is about 65 right now so it's got to be a little warmer than that.

Um, excuse me Jake-butt, I am coming down on Thursday, sailing on Friday-Sunday and staying Sunday night, to return on Monday. I only cancelled my motel because I have found another location to stay. What day are you coming down? I'm only asking about the water temps because I like to sail in shorts and a T shirt, and if I can leave the wetsuit at home, I will.

Aaaaaaaa....it REALLY sounded like you were bailing there for a moment....you said "hotel canceled" Mary said "weather not that bad"... you started talking about water temps....aaaa crap....OK...I'm in debt a cold one.

I'll be there Thursday night and will have your beer waiting sometime Friday evening.

Actually the forecast sounds PERFECT to me. I was always coming because I have a friend flying in from Switzerland, so no matter what, we will be there, but I wanted it to be good for him.

I was worried it would either be too cold or too hot, and too much wind or too little, but it looks like it should be right in the middle, both days. The local Tampa Wx. men are saying a cold front will come about half way down the state and stall out on Friday, should be some good south winds with warm temps in the Keys, which will be on the south side of the front the entire weekend. Of course, you never know with these guys...look at how well they forecast hurricanes!

Hey now, if Jake had read the entire thread he would have seen my post from a week ago (look on page 2 I think, Jan. 8?) where I did say I had found another place to stay, and if anyone wanted my room, please drop me a line. So that's what you get for coming in late. And Jerry, don't you still owe me a beer for that free rudder casting I got you??? Sam Adams please, a 6 pack is all, since I'm on a diet.

Seth did say he might need the room, so I was "holding" my reservation for him, but on Monday it was decided he also had another place to stay, so I then cancelled my res. BUT, I was hoping any of you who might be having trouble finding a place to stay would be able to pick up my room, that's why I re-posted the info.

Just see if I try to do anything nice for you clowns again...STARBOARD!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Oh, that reminds me, Rick, do we need we need to bring some sort of proof of insurance with us?

You have a mile marker for the Pizza Place? This is for Friday night, right? I could be at the Miami airport until after 6pm on Thursday, from there I figure at least an hour to Tavenier?
