Ft Myers Offshore, New Years Eve, 49 start photos

[appsyscons]

Earlier today, I participated, in the Ft. Myers Offshore, New Years Eve run.
"FMO is a not-for-profit coporation, dedicated to raising funds for academic
scholarships in SW Florida to help worthy individual graduating from high school,
continue their education at institutions of higher learning including college and
university as approved by the board of Directors". Additional information
regarding FMO can be found at "http://ftmyersoffshore.com/". For various
reasons, I left my boat home, and rode along with my friend Jim. For us it was a
round trip of 175 miles, by water.

We had bright blue skies, lots of sunshine, and very calm seas.

I will post the remaining 100 or so shots at the docks, and highlight a few,
in another thread, in a day or so.
