SBI will be coming down the Weekend of June 12th. You and the wife should come down, and help me empty my cooleravho said:Nice Pics! I miss living down there watching those guys come into town and tear up the ocean every few months. Awesome site.![]()
Yeah, I went to look for Brett, and Bruce, after the race, at the ramp, and then the cranes, but didnt see them, DID see the Nichols offshore boat going out to test, so we went back to the bridge to try to get a glimpse, but didnt see much. Then Jen wanted to relax so we went back to the room, and Pool for a bit before dinner. Went to the dry pits Sunday, and seen Lap Dance, in the back corner, but no Truck, and no Brett.lucky strike said:My parents did. They talked to Brett for awhile after he and Bruce retired. They went down there Sunday but he was no where to be found. I'll post some pics tonight.

The restaurant was GREAT!!!! I have wanted to go for a while now, But last November when we were down for the Worlds, Florida Powerboat Club had it blocked off for themselves![]()
So we ate at this Dump across the way, they had great food, but the place was a mess

Mai Cai??avho said:Emptying the cooler is my specialty!Did a little too much of that this weekend celebrating our 2 year wedding anniversary at Mai Cai in Fort Lauderdale. Their drinks are VERY good! Expensive, but worth it.
When you make it back to Key West there is a small shack a little ways off Duval called BO's that has awesome Dolphin sandwiches. It's the ugliest restaurant I've been to, but the food is incredible. Inexpensive too! Some locals pointed it out to us the last time we were there.
OH YEAH,avho said:Sounds about right! :laugher: Out in the middle of nowhere, and ugly!
Mai Cai is a Polynesian restaurant that has a Hawaiian Lua right in the middle of the Main room. Drinks were like $8 to $15 a piece, with a $35 drink for four that comes with a personal dance from one of the hula chicks. My wife wouldn't let me get one!:lick:

It was on US1 a few miles south of Commercial Blvd. Very cool place.
My camera makes it deceiving, it was pretty choppy. Not 4-8, but this was bayside of the bridge, looked a little worse(betterSwamplizard said:thanks for the pics dude! Surprised it wasnt choppier - someone turn the wind machine off will ya - we've 4-8 footers for months here in lauderdale area....getting old
Helluva drive just for dinner! We wanted to keep the Hawaiian theme though because we did a cruise around Hawaii for our Honeymoon. Not too many places like that around our neck of the woods, so Lauderdale we went.RCHEVELLE71 said:OH YEAH,
I know the place, never been there though. Thats quite a ride for you isnt it?? We usually just go to Shooters, or the Roadhouse on the water down there, or head down to Beachplace, and go to LuLu's.
That place in Key West is a trip, I asked the waitress where the Mens room was, and she says over there, OK, so I head over there, and cant find it??? I musta looked like a Drunk idiot scratching my head lookin' lost, after a few minutes I figured what the heck, so I go to the bar, order a beer, and ask the bartender this time, he says over there![]()
, So I go look again, and cant find it, So by this time I really gotta go, so I head around the building to take care of business, and I find a door behind the building, guess what, its the Mens room :banghead: :banghead:
DUDE,shane b said:RCHEVELLE71 you were in Marathon and we didn't get a chance to hook up again
We were at a friends house on the oceanfront at MM 74 from Sunday the 9th until Saturday the day of the race, and it blew out of the east at constant 20 to 30+ MPH. The Atlantic was rough as hell, but the wind seemed to drop somewhat on the day of the race. As our luck had it, we had to be back in Lauderdale in the afternoon so we missed it. Thanks for the great pics!!!RCHEVELLE71 said:My camera makes it deceiving, it was pretty choppy. Not 4-8, but this was bayside of the bridge, looked a little worse(better![]()
