Below is a screen shot of a map of the poker run I made in Google Earth. The map shows exactly where each stop is and the route you need to take to get to them. I could not upload the file on the server, but would be happy to e-mail it to you. If you have a GPS on your boat, you can plug in the Lat/Long coordinates from this map and find where each one is no problem.
I have a flyer for the event I can e-mail you as well. Just leave your e-mail addy here or PM it to me and I'll get the map and flyer right out to ya.
I ALMOST forgot to mention that at the last stop there will be food/drinks/cash bar. $1 beers/$1 jello shots/$5 margaritas
