You never know what you will find on the internet

So instead of doing work, I got sucked down a worm hole of looking at boating pictures.  Low and behold, I found some drone pictures that have my boat in them. There are from our marina's poker run 2017. I remember the drone flying around & mentioned to my wife that I need see if I can get copy's of the pictures. Well here they are!

We are the 3rd boat in with the tan top. (not like I had tell you guys). 

This was the last stop on the run. It is at a dock on Jonhson's Island in Sandusky Bay on Lake Erie.

Let's see if anyone can guess the other boats. Other than mine, I can only guess 4, (I personally know 2 of them)

 Here is birds eye view of my marina, Venetian Marina in Sandusky, Ohio.
Extra bonus points if you can find me!!

Good eye @04FV270riverrat & @reneechris14, 
Just to show how fast things change, there is now a waiting list for our marina

Cool shots! So if you are at Venetian and this was a poker run, was it the APYC poker run? We are members of APYC, joined last summer so that we could go to yacht clubs in Michigan.

@Liberty44140, yes it is the APYC, 
1st ever poker run & I came in 2nd place!!

On your port looks like a Sovran and a Sundancer.  To the starboard another Sundancer and ... ???

Tiara and Sundancer is my guess on port side.

@vyborny1 do you plan to do again this year? Wasn’t considering doing it this year but it looks like fun. I’ve never done a poker run. How does it work? Where are the stops?

I would love to do a poker run sometime as well.  Hopefully our marina does something like this.

I was under the impression that Venetian water depth was around 3' entering the harbor.  That last picture shows some large boats.  I take it you are not 3' coming in and out of there.

The poker run was a lot of fun, it is a very laid back & very family friendly. It is "go at your own leisure". This is not a performance boat poker run. 

If I remember correctly the stops were
Sonrise Marina
Sandusky Yacht Club
Sandusky Harbor
Johnson Island
The boat "E-Rock" anchored somewhere in the bay, you had to find them

The last stop was at Johnson Island, you could tie up, they had a grill with hotdogs & water, we stayed for a couple of hours, then headed back to the Venetian for a dinner. 

I'm not a member of APYC, but I do know that the poker run is open to anyone. 
If you go to the web site, it has a sign-up sheet.  

@Wildboating, 
This will be our 3rd year there, I have never seen anything less than 5 ft coming in. 
Granted, water has been up the past few years

As far as the boats in the tie-up, 
SeaRay 340, Tiara, me, another 340, I think the last one is a  Maxum, maybe,
The other line, I know the 1st is a Doral, I think the next is a Regal, the small one is a Four Winns.

By the end, I think there was 8 boats on both sides
