Summer Ski Fest in Tampa Bay Aug. 26 - 28

[mirror]

We will be hosting an event similar to Lover's Key August 26 - 28 in the Clearwater/Sand Key area. Below is the hotel information. We will be having rides to the various areas around Clearwater Beach. The resort is similar to Lover's Key except the rooms are suites instead of condos. They have a very nice pool deck and we will be able to anchor just off of the seawall to the hotel. You can check out the hotels website to see all they have to offer. The area is wonderful and centrally located for many activities for riders and non-riders. They have a free shuttle to one of the best beaches in the area, as well as a daycare, restaurants and bars, including poolside. The rides are being discussed still but we should have tours around Clearwater Beach, the various islands including Anclote Key and even a mangrove tour I have been told. This area is very active night and day with places such as Sheppards, Pier 60 and many other businesses on Clearwater Beach. I hope to see everyone here.

The hotel is set and you can start making reservations. The hotel website is http://www.marriott.com/hotels/trave...s-on-sand-key/. It is the Marriott Suites Sand Key and the rate is 149.00 per night and each room is a suite and you have a choice of a King or 2 double beds. There is also a sitting area that has a pull out sofa bed.

Working with others to maybe do a scavenger hunt or poker run while we are there but the is tentative. I can't wait if people thought Lover's Key had great riding wait until they get to see our beautiful area. I know this is local but I am going to treat it just like Lover's Key I will be staying at the hotel and making a great weekend vacation out of it.

There are still some rooms available so make your plans to join us for this amazing weekend. We have plans for demo rides at the resort so you might even find your next watercraft. We will also have rides designed with everyone in mind. Rides will include family style, hardcore, mangroves, beachcombing and even sunset cruise. This area is amazing to ride in and we will be covering most of it all weekend. For those with families remember this is one of the most visited areas in Pinellas county and there is more things to do than one can do in a weekend. If you haven't made your plans and reserved your room do it while you can.

Visited the hotel for the first time today and absolutely loved it and can't wait until August. We stopped there during an outgoing tide on a full moon so it was as bad as it gets and there was really no current. The water did go out far enough to expose some land about 25 feet from the seawall but it was hard sandy mud and not bad to walk in. The bottom is also a short grassy area is some parts still very easy walking. Anchoring was easy to go in and enjoy the pooside bar. We ordered a couple of drinks and also enjoyed coconut shrimp and chicken wings and everything was good. I walked around snapping some photos of the pool, lobby, inside bar, and the views from some of the doorways and windows. As you can see from the pictures every room has a view of the water.

Here are the rest of the photos I took at the hotel, including the shot that shows the location of the boat ramp. Taken the same direction just one of them I zoomed in.
