Blue Angels in Pensacola
- Thread starter babncb
- Start date
This is the latest. With out electricity at Point Cadet, I am strongly considering an early leave and go all the way to Pensacola via the ICW. I hate to split from the group, but I do not have a generator and it will be hotter than H___ to sleep on my boat without the a/c.

Hi Babnab,
I was lost out there for a while but I finally found the group.
I have been in contact with La Yachting. I was advised that several boaters may stop for gas and move on. I intend to go straight through if the group does.
I will be in Mandeville tomorrow, attending the Seafood Festival. Stop by and say hello if you are in the area. My boat's name is Knot Again.

Well let's say we made it. We had a wonderful time. Smooth waters going and coming. Great weather the whole weekend. We were able to run 30 to 35 miles per hour in both directions. Went 8 boats, came back 6 boats. Two had mechanical problems. The group of people were great. They were all very friendly and fun to be with.
My wife has pictures and a Diary of the happenings. When she down loads the pictures I will post them here.
It was a 213 mile one way trip. I would call it as being a little far to make in one day, but we did. Going took us almost 12 hours with 2 fuel stops, and bridges to open. The dealer is planning more trips. They will be day trips and over nighters. I am looking forward to more of these.
There was another 3060(brand new & the newest boat) on the trip. It is realy a nice boat. That was the newest and mine was the oldest at 17 years old. The new boat was purchased from the dealer Wenesday before we left. Thursday morning at 7:00 am he started a 213 mile shake down cruise. That is what I call one hell of a shake down. I should have the pictures here by this weekend.

I am really looking forward to seeing the pics. My heart was in that cruise. Did you meet Hank? He owns a 33' Cruisers Yacht.
I am going to guess that the new 3060 was the Tan one? Beautiful boat. However, I don't think I would have had the nerve to bring a brand new boat on that long a voyage, prior to the break in.
213 miles is a lot to cover in a day. That says a lot about the condition of your boat to make that type of trip without problems.
