Miss GEICO Mystic Speed Run from Miami to West Palm Beach Tomorrow AM

[JupiterSunsation]

probably jumped in the chase Cig and got lifted from there..

Considering a few of those miles are in Biscayne Bay and the ICW in WPB, thats pretty good time..

I suspect the "race course" was only from inlet to inlet, all open ocean.

 

[Cash Bar]

It was Waypoint-to-waypoint. I think it was set up just outside the inlets.

Haggin went into the cig and we turned around went back to Miami and restarted. It was rough and I am sore. Haggin did not want to get out of the boat but we made him but he rode above us in the copter. 78 miles 45minutes 59seconds. most of the run was in the 105-110 range but it got really rough in and out of some of the rain storms and we slowed to 80-85. First time doing it we went a bit conservative so we would at least finish and not break anything. We plan on crushing it in the summer

Great job guys! Hope Haggin is feeling better.

Can you guys give us the two way points you know in case we would like to see what you guys ran and have a frame of reference.

I'm going to boss my boss around as well. Are ya'll hiring if it doesn't work out for me? :sifone:

:cheers2:

Maybe between now and then someone may try to beat you to get a little battle of the boats going on!

Just look up the waypoints of the Lake Worth inlet (not S. Lake Worth/Boynton) and Govt Cut.

 

[Sea-Dated]

Congrats Team Geico!!!!

Great run guys I am sure in the summer calms you will blow that time out of the water literally.

Boynton Inlet is only 54.25 miles as a straight line on Google maps my guess they went to the Palm Beach Inlet that gives on Peanut Island which is 70 miles in a straight line. I imagine the extra 8 miles are due to curvature of shore and heading out a mile or two offshore.

That would be a nice run to try with the MTI if the weather is perfect! I better hurry before summer comes and they run it at 160 mph...

Now where do I buy race gas on the water in Palm Beach? for the way back! :ack2:

You are correct... Boynton inlet is called S. Lake Worth and the Palm Beach inlet, next to Peanut Island is called Lake Worth.

Race fuel.....good luck but there is a boat ramp just north of Peanut Island if you wanted to pull the boat out there. You also might be able to get the Geico boys to deliver some fuel to you since their shop is less than 5 miles from the inlet!

[OneBadInjun]

They cheated. They ran "with" the Gulfstream current, running north. lol:driving:

Congrats Marc and Scotty. That would be a cool run to watch. We did some testing down there in Feb. Did Ft Lauderdale/Dania Cut to biscayne bay twice a day!! Wow that kicked our a$$es. I gotta say that Govt cut is some of the wierdest/sloppiest water ive ever seen.

 

[Madpoodle]

Gov't cut has soiled many a pair of shorts in it's day
