Greg,

I remember taking delivery of our boat last May. I couldn't wait to get it home!! There is always something going on in the Tampa Bay area.

Every Sunday at the St Pete Pier there is an event called Music Fest on the Water. We've never been but from what I hear you can anchor just off the pier and hear the music.

11/10 and 11/11 is the Ribfest at Vinoy Park. You can't really get to Vinoy by boat but you can anchor off in the water and listen to the free music!!

Other than that, the best thing to do is pick up a copy of the free Tampa Bay Times. That's how I usually find out about stuff. Didn't even know the air fest was going on last weekend until the Thursday before when I read it in that paper.

Thanks for the info. We're pretty excited about getting the boat and getting out there on the water. Hope to meet up with some of the other crownline owners at some point.

Steve,
We ended up getting the 320ls in the onyx color. We bought from Craig and the guys at Tracker in Clearwater. We are supposed to be getting it delivered around noon tomorrow so we're are pretty excited. I just have to learn how to use the lift at Mirabay and then I'll be ok. Looking forward to doing some boating!

Cool! I bought mine from Craig also...tell him Steve K said hi! I even walked around in that boat last time I was there...NICE Ride!

Dang, I totally forgot about the Jazz Fest.  We've got family in town Saturday but we'll try to make it up there.  How long of a run is it from Indian Rocks beach to Clearwater?

---

It's just a short cruise up the ICW from Indian Rocks Beach to Clearwater. Probably about 6-7 miles, but there are a few no wake zones along the way.

How was the Clearwater Jazz thing?  We didn't get the boat out this weekend.

 But we are a definate for the Blues Fest.

---

Anybody doing the Blues Fest?  Looks like a really good lineup this year.

 I think we'll definately be over there at least one of the days if not 2.  Thinking of cruising over Friday after work for a little bit and then back over on Saturday if logistics work out.

---

Cliff, I left a blue fender tied to your dock.  I am going to be on the water saturday, can you leave it out and I will swing by and pick it up?
