dont know if its a daytona=will be picking it up monday=

camp far west was a riot until saturday night=about 9pm someone in a pickle fork took off after another boat and got his wake and the flipped sideways and thru the driver out and the boat supposely landed on him and they could only find his life vest=then we heard that they found him at 5=30 am the next morn=so it put a real damper on sunday=the 1/4 mile cove was closed sunday
they had sheriffs and divers out=

just a shout out too all to be safe

the southwind tunnel ran well=still a work in progress

hope all had a good fathers day
