Ian’s Revenge

LETS RALLY THE GULF!!

Back in 2022 my wife Mel and I planned a fun run on the west coast of Florida. It was called “Checkmates on San Carlos Bay” due to hurricane Ian we had no choice but to cancel the run due to total devastation that area suffered. The only thing that came out of the run was a long sleeve dry fit.

Checkmates On The Chesapeake was such a blast this year we are coming to Florida to get a chance to meet some of the southerners in our family!
