Just buy a few Donzi decals and slap them on the side of your boat, nobody will notice

I must say I hate seeing the limited resources of the MP being used for this purpose... it really makes little sense with all the flagrant violations of more important safety rules that occur daily.

Justenuff Senior Member Join Date: Apr 2004 Location: Wilmington, North Carolina Posts: 74 Blog Entries: 2 Thanks: 0 Thanked 3 Times in 3 Posts	Sorry if we got in your way I was out on my own little pokey run yesterday and almost got swashed by the fleet by Bear and Pine Island. The only indication I had of a what was going on was the lead boat almost running us over, followed by another 20 or so boats. Oh yeah the helicopter too, Initially, I thought it was for a rescue of some sort. How I wished I was in my big, heavy blow boat to absorb the wakes

OCDACTIVE Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2009 Location: Fort Myers FL / Moultonboro Posts: 1,045 Thanks: 444 Thanked 574 Times in 178 Posts	I had a GREAT time. What a great bunch of boaters... Everyone was being safe and enjoying the run. The helocopter took 1800 photos.. I can't wait to see them all. Thanks again to the Donzi club for putting it on. Looking forward to next year. .....................wakes???????? I think there were only 4 boats capable of making a wake out of the 40. (mine being one of them) Have you seen how small the draft is on a donzi. They are basically flat bottom. I was surprised at what little wakes they threw. So if you hit a wake, It was probably mine.......... sorry but at 45 mph I don't think it was that big. P.S. Wanted to shout out a BIG Thank you to all everyone in the Donzi club that purchased SBONH T-shirts or made a donation!. __________________ Have you had your Vessel Inspected Yet?

Also noticed the low flying chopper overhead too, at first I thought it might be a news crew from Channel 9 or something. Looked like you guys were having fun that's for sure and it sounds like you did, good stuff!! Yeah you got to post some pics when you get them.

There were about 35 I would have guessed. The Helocopter was taking pictures after we left from Braun Bay so some were doing that before heading down the broads.. I have actually never seen OCD on a video. Thank you RG.. Hard to tell but I am the white boat all the way out front.

Rattlesnake Guy Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Posts: 1,254 Thanks: 423 Thanked 366 Times in 175 Posts	RG took the video and I did the editing. To be honest, I took some artistic license and trimmed perhaps 6 boats that came through one at a time. As the editor, I felt it might detract from the effect. I apologize. There was one guy so out in front that it was kind of odd to have him go buy and then wait 30 seconds for the group. My son and I were working and stopped to enjoy the stampede go buy. I then made a comic version with boats going left then right. Up the broads and then down the broads (down faster). Fortunately I grew up before posting.
