    If you didn't know tomorrow is the 60th Annual Billy Bowlegs celebration in Fort Walton Beach. I'll be there in the middle of the crowd somewhere! This will be my 22nd year straight of enjoying these festivities, forecast looks great, sunny and 90 tomorrow with little to no chance of rain! Leaving Hurlburt Marina at 7am sharp

    Go early Frank and as far as getting raped or spit on at 6'4" tall and 260 lbs. I haven't had any issues in the first 21 years! These days we sit on the boat most of the time and watch the shenanigans of the younger party crowd that show up a little later in the morning after they get over their hangover from the night before. Good times!

    Good plan Frank, we'll be grilling on the boat too! I normally take my boat but this year I'm going on a friend's 24' Robalo Walk Around, a lot nicer that my 20' Nautic Star center console. It's going to be nice to sit back and relax with no other job than to be on time and help the Captain when he needs it.

    That is always the best way unless of course you have the nicest yacht in the basin!

    Belle you don't need much to get you there from shore at the The Landing park in Fort Walton Beach. I've seen guys use cases of beer as floats to get out there.

    I just mean driving my butt out there and not getting killed or vice versa. Lol. Sounds like a big crowd but soooo much fun.

    Take i10 and go down through crestview.

    My lady and I were thinking about heading back to jimmies this weekend, thanks for the heads up. I dislike crowds as much as dense traffic, looks like I'll have to stay home and do grown up stuff.
