That was Bananna Boat, Gary Ballough showed up with the Race Boat:driving:, but I guess he likes the food better across the canal at 2 georges:cheers2::sifone:

Not a bad spot, just inside the Boynton inlet so it is easy to get to (while on plane!). Too many good restaurants are after long no wake zones in S. FL.

Cool to finally meet you RChevelle (and Pat too!). I had a decent ride down (20-25 miles along the beach) but got wet on the ride home. 5 miles north of Boynton inlet the rain came and the temperature dropped. At Palm Beach rain was so hard I couldn't see the FPL red/white smokestacks 1/2 mile offshore (they are a landmark that can be seen 1/2 way from the Bahamas on a clear day). I went in at Palm Beach and took the ICW the rest of the way in a cold 60 degree drizzle. It was damn near 80 as a high that day but got 30 degrees colder the rest of the weekend!

We made it back to the ramp before the rain, As I was walking to get the truck/trailer the monsoon started. If you thought it was bad east, when I got back home out in the glades, I had trees down in the road

We frequent both Places, Bananna boat

They are both about equal, good food, decent prices, and on the water across the canal from each other.

There is also Old key Lime House

Rick how many hours you have on your boat, you are all over the place?

 

[bigboat28]

Rick you ever boat around Anna Maria Island? How far is it from there to Key West by boat?

 

[rchevelle71]

Left the hourmeter out of the dash cluster on purpse, but it has been in the water for going on 3 years, and already on the 3rd motor Of course I only blew the first one up, the other 2 were upgrades:driving:

I have boated in the area, but not Anna maria itself. The ride by boat is doable, as people do it all of the time from Fort Myers. Not sure on distance, but I would guess 100+ miles. I am more of a trailer boater, I trailer within 30 miles of my destination, and go from there.
