Cortez Yacht CLUB

The yacht club at Isla Del Sol is a place where memories are forged We had a great weekend and the 'dock tail' tonight, followed by a beautiful sunset, has been a wonderful way to cap off an already fantastic experience.

Hyatt Sarasota cruise. April 25-27, 2025. So this turned out to be an awesome last cruise to the Hyatt. As of June 1st it will be closed and torn down to make way for more condos.  but the group of five vessels had a great time with the boat show and they’re awesome swimming pool and restaurants in downtown Sarasota plus the amazing Sarasota Saturday morning market.

I don’t usually rant, but I came across a Facebook post where the person thought they were really smart by saying what if we all drove electric cars and someone had now discovered an internal combustion engine car and and how it was so much better and so much better for the environment, etc. 

Their first claim is that it takes 10 times longer to charge a car then to put gas in it. Well, my Tesla charges in 10 minutes at a Tesla supercharger so if you can put gas in your car in one minute, you’re the fastest on the planet. Your 20 gallon tank times $3.50 is a $70 fill up. My charge averages $10.

They claimed that their gas car got more than twice the mileage of any electric car. My electric car gets over 320 miles to a charge and the newer models get over 400 miles so perhaps they have a car that goes 640 - 800 miles but I doubt it. 

They claimed that electric cars are worse for the roads, but my electric car does not leak any gas or oil on the roads so that claim is idiotic.

They claimed that the gas car was better for the environment. But my electric car uses no fossil fuels no oils no belts no coolants and has a fully refurbish Able battery. Most importantly, it puts out no poisonous gases into the environment as there is no exhaust. 

And before whoever did this post celebrates their genius, they should actually own and drive an electric car for a period of time before they try to make a smart comparison. But again they are just the source of false news

Awesome weekend at the Hyatt Sarasota for the Cortez Yacht Club members. We had some special things happen to us.  the Venice High School prom party was on Saturday evening, and they came and took pictures on Carl Succa’s vessel.  we then went to Mattisons on Main and danced to the The Klick band.
