We're headed to Destin in late July, really contemplating towing the boat 12 hours, looks like a lot of fun. Most likely won't do that though.
 
It's a great place to hang out. Lots of people and entertainment. You won't regret it if you do bring the boat.
 
Cool video @blackhawkpilot . Wife is out of town and I had training yesterday or I would have loved to have gone out there.

The Yamaha 242 you saw was Codie. He's the one that just got the graphics added on the hull. Looks sharp. He sent me a pic facing out of the rear of his boat and I could see the Chap anchored behind him. That's funny.
 
That was Codie's boat? I couldn't tell from that far away. We've been messaging via Facebook and have been trying to schedule a get-together. I'd like to get down there this weekend, but I'm not sure I'll be able to. My son is at Eglin and wants to come up here to get a new car this weekend. I'm trying to convince him to put it off another week so we can go play.

We're definitely coming down on Memorial Day weekend and spend a few days down there. Your wife may have to show us some places on that Friday or Saturday, but we won't keep her very long. ;)
 
Haha, yep, that was him.

Memorial Day will be PACKED here but it is what it is. I'm off that weekend so feel free to look at all you want and then we can launch the boats at least one of those days when y'all are done. Boat launch will get backed up on Saturday and Sunday. Friday shouldn't be too bad. Not sure which launch you've been using.
 
We've used several launches. Used Hurlburt Field, both launches on Eglin, and the launch at Ross Marler Park.
 
Forgot about you able to use the launces on the base. Marler Park will be packed on Memorial FYI.
