Earlier today I spoke with the propriator of the Islemorada Motel, which is only 3/4 mile from Founders Park. They still have 4 single (1 queen bed) rooms available Friday/Saturday, only $69/night. You must mention you are sailing Tradewinds to get the $10 discount. Nothing fancy but you cannot beat the location or the price. Ph. 305-852-9376
I get no kickback so don't mention my name...but be sure to say you are racing. <img src="<>/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin" height="15" width="15" />
Yeah, just booked this morning. Did not even have to mention the sailing thing to get the $69 rate!
Who's up for pizza Friday night?
I think I already posted this list elsewhere on the forum. I can't vouch for the rates I have listed. Maybe less, maybe more. But at least kind of relative.

Holiday Isle Resorts
Mile Marker 84 (3 miles south of Founders Park)
Phone: 305-664-2321
They have five hotels on the property, all with different names. You call that same number for all of them and pick the one you want. They all have different price ranges. If you want a peaceful one, get one of the motels farthest north on the property (closer to Founders Park). If you want to be where all the action is, you might want the Tower Building (also called the Horizon) or the next motel north of that. They are the closest to the Tiki Bar, which is far better than the one at Gilbert’s. Holiday Isle also has restaurants on the premises and I think food at the Tiki Bar, too.
Holiday Isle is the big “hot spot” between Miami and Key West.
(Just recently some friends got a room at one of their hotels for $79/night.)

I saw this ad on TV while I was watching Robot Chicken and sent away for the CD and just like that I was using the i.n.t.e.r.n.e.t. Have you heard of these webcam thingies? There are some freaks out there dude.
Let us break pizza Friday to ensure we'll all be breaking wind on Saturday...
hah. I'll see if we can make it too...I'm good for a pitcher of brew.
Who's calling to see if we can get a discount if we bring a gaggle?
Mary?
Who gives a discount for bringing geese ?
What...she gotta do everything?
Just checking to see if she is paying attention.
Is she the only one with a phone?
Hey that's right! Why don't you give them a call?
I'm in for Piza Friday night, and Rum with Ding on Thursday night, hope to be there late on Weds. night.
I'm in for Friday as well!
What time? We're leaving home around noon or a little later.
I'm leaving from Greenville for the keys at about 3pm on Friday...that is tommorrow's Friday! Hahahahahah! Suckers. <img src="<>/grin.gif" alt="grin" title="grin" height="15" width="15" />
Maybe, just maybe, while on the road driving the double stack and blackberring with one hand, I'll call that Pizza place for you lazy butts.
Well, if I leave at 3:00pm, that puts me about an hour ahead of you.
Follow the smell of rum...
<img src="<>/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" /> Tell them to save us tables!
Follow the smell of rum...
Crap...I'm going to have to invoke my 12 hours of fleet cloaking.
You guys suck.
That's pretty bad karma from someone doublestacked on a long road trip <img src="<>/frown.gif" alt="frown" title="frown" height="15" width="15" />
