the Hilarious Rules for the Regatta Party!!
This made me LAUGH! So.. the Regatta is not just a race, it is also a big fat crazy party. BTW. it's at Elliot Key, in Biscayne Bay... and it can get REALLY crazy.
Anyhow, I will NOT be going to this insanity... but i WILL be riding my bike with Heather tomorrow to Key Biscayne to watch the boats come in from t an excellent vantage point at the top of the bridge. Pictures tomorrow!!
Anyhow.. this is what made me laugh.... I mean, seriously- I guess you have to say these things when the world is full of dumb people!

Gary Bremen Hundreds of boats gather off Elliott Key every Columbus Day Weekend. Lost Swimmers
Visitors who get separated from their boats ("lost swimmers") will be transported to Elliott Key to await eventual transport to the mainland where they can make arrangements to be picked up by friends or family members. Park personnel WILL NOT taxi lost swimmers back to their boats. A small tent will be provided for lost swimmers, but conditions are likely to be hot, humid and extremely buggy. Help minimize your chances of ending up in a miserable situation by keeping the following points in mind:
- As tempting as an invitation by a pretty girl or cute guy might be, stay with your boat.
- Know the name of your boat and know the full name of the captain. Knowing that you were on a "white boat with a blue top" is useless in a sea of 1500 boats.
- Realize that, while a bikini or swim trunks might be comfortable on a 90 degree afternoon, the same outfit may not be appropriate after the sun goes down, temperatures drop and hypothermia sets in.
- Don't rely on your cell phone to operate successfully in the anchorage area. Regardless of your service provider, all have limited dependability and are spotty at best.
- Alcohol clouds good judgement; use it in moderation.
