Cptom's Amelia Family Charters 26' BlackLab
I offer a charter service "Amelia Family Charters" on Amelia Island, Florida. The following pictures are from an early April "ecotour" in my BlackLab, with fishing tackle of course, around (literally) Amelia Island, Florida. Jettywolf and I are the NE Florida BlackLab contingent. I'm the fat guy in the white hat.
Getting ready to leave the dock and head north on the intracoastal waterway
These white pelicans, like all other "snowbirds", head north in the spring
The main bridge onto Amelia Island is located at about the center of the 13 mile long island
Shrimpers are having an hard time making a living between losing dock space and fuel prices
A small but busy port
We are now in Georgia looking at Cumberland Island
Cruising out to sea on the St. Mary's river separating Florida and Georgia. Fort Clinch is on the north end of Amelia Island
Just cruising at sea; headed back south
The "smiley face" house near the south end of the island
Arriving back home
Putting the boat back on the lift
The Blacklab goes to sleep as the sun sets
More information on my charter service is available at: www.ameliafamilycharters.com

Thanks Jay,
I'm still happy I bought the BlackLab, the fuel economy is even more important now than when I bought it. The "Lab" is right at home here in Florida. Haven't fried any eggs on the top yet, either (haha). The only area that gets real warm is the bow deck and it is no worse than any of the NON ALLOY boats I've owned.

What road construction?.......I live 5 minutes from the Ferry.
Ya mean Mayport "street walker road"????
I don't deal with that crap. And believe me building medians in the road just give the street walkers a palm tree to hide behind when the cops are chasing them.
The Navy base area is the slum, of the area.
My club house (aka: China Buffet) is over that way, but I do not frequent otherwise.

Tom, what an amazing place to live. Really a dream house. You were either a wonderful person in a previous life, or a very smart person in this life, or maybe a combination of both! In any case...great pics.

Life ring mounting
If it helps this is how we recently mounted a life ring on the roof, the lugs can be bent to hold the ring tight and little pieces of self adhesive rubber mat hold it firm along with bung hooks.

Thanks for all the kind words, I do love my boat and where I live. Sorry I'm late saying thanks, but I've been out of town for a couple days.
Fishontop, I just strap it down with a couple rubber bungee cords to the handrail on the top. Speaking of the handrail, I really like the one on the bottom of the top, it's great to hang onto.
SLDave, I try to tell my wife that I am a wonderful person but she doesn't believe it. Actually, this is the location where I grew up and has been in the family since the early 1900's. My parents passed away a few years ago and I have retired and moved back home. It is a really great location and I realize how lucky I am. We love to sit on the dock, watch the sun go down and partake of adult beverages. The only downside is the large wakes from the yachts flying by on the intracoastal. I know it comes with the territory, but it still aggravating to watch your floating dock (and boat if it is tied to the dock) get beat to heck every spring and fall as the boats go north and south.
