The 4th one down, with the guy throwing the ball. I am walking toward Grayton from Gulf Trace. Just a tiny speck on the photo. I am also in your photo of the Grand Opening of 331 sitting on the downstairs porch watching the sunset.

What were you wearing at the 331? beard and hat, or blue shirt?

[QUOTE=mbarje]Hey Otter !, Hi, Manuel here, I took your advice and registered here to look for info., I haven't asked about ramps yet, didn't want to sidetrack the thread but we just wanted to say HOWDY !, we are planning a getaway to Grayton, with or without the boat, we can't wait, if we don't bring the boat we will be in this, cut's down on excess luggage for her,(Hee,Hee,Hee)[/QUOTE]
 
:welcome: What's Up Dude!! :cool: Love the Mini and the mini :biggrin: . Just start another thread. I think ChrisV has the goods on the Bay. He has a boat and said in general the bay was deep well marked. Still thinking about towing the Happy Chappy down. The Bay looks like great fun. Say.... after driving all that way in the Mini. Do you ever feel the need for a kidney transplant :biggrin:

Dig the Mini (both the car and the skirt  :wink: ). I am seeing more and more of them around (again, the car, not the skirt). How do you like it?
