Thanks for the info on the Days Inn. I'd like to be as close as possible. The Sea Breeze Manor was booked for a wedding. Is there a hotel of choice from past years experience that people congregate/recommend?

Friday (3/31) will be a big day. I am picking up my boat from Matt in the AM, planning on sailing some in Titusville and then trailering to Gulfport shortly after lunch. I hope to rig and get some time on the water at GYC in the mid PM time range (maybe 3:00ish). It would be great to get some pointers. All of my spi experience has been on a 2-up boat...I have a lot too learn.
