Not the best picture but a small 4th gathering

I've never seen a boat with an offset radar before.

If everyone gets to the starboard side he can squeeze under the lower bridges.

Radar array is on top of a gin pole, the highest unobstructed point that will not move. The 6' offset has never been an issue.
As far as going under bridges, luckily not many nearby, but that is why the outriggers were removed (and then as luck would have it had a tree limb fall on them). Lowest fixed bridge I normally would go through is 22' and only have to drop antennas

Lucky.  

On some of our bridges I couldn't get an fv235 under them without letting down the bimini.

Thats a good day fishing

It wasn't bad at all. Water was a little rough.  We caught lots of edible sized grunts and yellow tail snapper that didn't get pictured.  Also got 2 remorah.  Usually I take lots of pics but we were bouncing the entire time, only got shots of stuff we don't usually reel in.

Sunset on Day 5 of our Loop:  Schaefer's Canal House in Chesapeake City, Maryland.  I've never driven a boat this far north before!

Very cool!⚓️
Is there a reason for your swim platform to be up?

You are right down the C&D from us. Schaffer’s is where we go for our lunch shake down runs at the beginning of the season.

@aero3113 - gotta have the swim platform up when underway so it won't drag in the water.  

Pic of the day for us:  While leaving Shady Harbor Marina this morning, my starboard prop somehow got fouled by a 1" line that was solidly anchored to the seabed.  The engine stalled and we came to a firm and immediate stop.  Had to call a diver to cut us free.  We caused quite a kerfuffle, sitting there anchored in the middle of the fairway!  Here's a piece that the diver cut off.

Glad you're ok, could have been a bad situation

I was thinking that @LaRea

That could’ve been bad, and luckily no damage to the boat!!

Headed to Roche Harbor in the San Juan Islands for a few days with some friends. 

PickleRick

That's a big a$$ boat!!!!  

Aqua_Aura

This place is quite nice. 

YYZRC

@Aqua_Aura we want pics of the boat you were on!!

This is an old picture from when I brought the boat up last year with the owner from the river to the San Juan Islands. 3000hp total and "slow" cruise is 20kts

I think I posted this exact photo last year. 

The best part of boating is knowing people with bigger and better boats 😎

And that's why we like you😁

I remember looking at that boat based on a pic you posted!  Too tall for the Great Loop but it's an amazing vessel!

LaRea

Around here, we call this Tuesday.

No great loop around these parts 😂. 

That is definitely not the type of weather we have around here. Hope it clears up.

Great video 
Free boat wash!!

Could you share a bit of that rain with us in the southeast?
