I was thinking we could get a few people to meet, and we could take a ride to The Taste of Pinellas at Vinoy this weekend. I would be launching from my house on the Manatee River, but would be willing to meet others at another location like Fort DeSoto or something.


Is anybody up for it?

you can pull up on the sand at vinoy right? It sounds like a fun ride. i may be able to get a few boats to join. i live in palma sola so im a hop and a skip away from you.

NRG

Yeah, they have got a little beach up there. I was thinking go for a ride to Ft. DeSoto, meet with some folks there, then head to The Vinoy after a spin around Ft. DeSoto. Keep us updated.

Isn't there a charge to enter? I wouldn't mind getting there by ski. I will see what we are doing. We would be coming from the Pinellas side probably Maximo.

Would you want to meet at Ft. DeSoto for a ride around the island before heading to Downtown? Or if you have some other ideas, please propose them.

NRG

Here is the shuttle and location map.
http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en...,0.038581&z=15


Here is a spot where we could park I believe.
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&sour...223e4944e8df1d


Here is another spot which I think we could do as well, and is closer to the event. But I am not to sure if it real sand or not.

And another spot.

I was kinda thinking of something like this for the DeSoto-Vinoy Leg.
