Presents

The Hooked on SUP Pool Party


 



 


 
 
 
For those of you that don't know...  SUP stands for Stand Up Paddleboard... which is the new craze in non powered watersports.

The boards are like large surfboards but very stable in the water


 
 
Instead of a double ended kayak paddle they use a single blade paddle.  You just stand on top and paddle along slowly :)

 
 
 
If you think you'd like to try it... stop down and visit with Hooked on SUP at Cape Haze Marina at 6950 Placida Road.  www.hookedonsup.com

 
 
 
But the party was at the pool and cabana at the Cape Haze Marina... 
and I spent the rest of the evening drinking FREE BEER and eating 
great snacks and taking pictures of some really pretty girls !  Enjoy :)

 
 
 

 
 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 

 
 
Then a piñata and a paddleboard paddle 
made for some interesting entertainment :)

Thanks for inviting me to your Hooked on SUP Party :)

 
 
 
Interesting story about this Marina.  When I first came to this town I was living on this beautiful Whitcraft Houseboat that I had just completely refurbished inside and out.
She was 45' long, and 12' wide... with 2 bedroom 1 bath, 3 sun decks, 550 hp twin Chrysler inboards with V-drives... so she only needed 3 1/2 feet of water to travel. 
And she ran a full 33 mph when she got up on plane. 

Full galley, regular sized fridge.  Onan Generator... nice main salon with steering controls inside and on the top deck.  I lived on this boat for 6 1/2 years and cruised all over Florida including the entire length of the Okeechobee waterway.  Cool ride if you ever find the time.

I was living at Ft Myers Beach when I met a girl who told me about this place they were going to build called Cape Haze Yacht & Beach Club in Placida... and told me she could get me a really good price on docking there.  So I came for a visit.  What I found was that they had not yet built the condo's that now surround the marina.  But they had built the brand new clubhouse and pool and spa area... but the marina itself was not yet open.

So as it worked out... I lived on this boat at this marina for about 2 years before they started building all the condos there.  The entire place was fenced in, and I think there were only three people with the key... and I was one of them.  So I had that beautiful pool, hot tub, clubhouse with wide screen TV and marina all to myself  for about two years ! 

I could be going out Gasparilla Pass or Stump Pass in 15 minutes or Boca Grande Pass within an hour just taking my good ole time.  And I'd anchor out at Cayo Costa island for a few days at a time and lived on fresh sea trout, redfish and snook every day.  A crab trap hanging over the side for the fish remains and fresh blue crabs anytime.  Set a  lantern on the dive platform at night and net a half a bucket of shrimp in a few hours on the outgoing tide. 

Why did I tell you all this.  Guess because Cape Haze Marina changed my life. 
Finally sold the boat and settled here in Cape Haze myself. 

It was an awesome adventure. 

Thanks for listening

Robert

However...

I think if I was going to do it again...
