Bimini 2015 - July 6th to 11th

[Englewoodcowboy]

OK just registered my entire party for SVRS, we will be in the Miami office for interviews from 9-11.

Please post up how the whole process goes. I am looking at that avenue for next year. We sed to be LBO qualified but since we all live in VA now that is no longer an option.

I hope you have better luck then me. I interveiwed last Thursday and still don't have my number. I'm going to call the Charleston office tomorrow I'm praying their computer didn't crash or something. I will know better tomorrow as my wife and daughter go to Wilmington for theirs tomorrow. They day I went to charleston was the same day as the church shooting so Everything was kind of on alert when I went.

That was my experience at Fort Lauderdale a couple of years ago.

Looks like Miami is the only office that does weekend interviews also. Just checked everywhere up and down the east coast and the only other one I could find was Delaware.

Im doing mine Sunday morning, was going to go saturday but half my party does not arrive until saturday at 6PM.

Well apparently someone didn't submit mine right on the computer but they got it fixed and I finally got my Svrs # today my wife and daughter did theirs in Wilminton NC this morning and their experince was similar to the rest of you got their numbers right then. The guy in Wilmington said they were the first people he had done this for in a few years at that location. He thought it was interesting as he had two more appointments to do it the next day as well.

Last year we carried 150 or so 20 ounce Gatorade bottles and brought many of them back. This year we will carry 36 bottles and use the powdered Gatorade and tap water to refill. This saves space and weight in the boat as well as cost.

We had a taste test of the available powders

We did that last year and it worked great!

This may have answered a question I was asked earlier today by somebody if the water was safe to drink over there or we should bring bottled water?

The water is safe to drink but we still bring plenty of bottle water.

Here is a map of Bimini Sands with condo locations and MMSI #'s as we currently know it. The Word document is also attached so you can print your own copy.

So by this list as of today we are at 13 boats and three jet skis is that correct?

Those on the map are the ones that have posted their info. There are about 6 or so people that have not posted where they are staying but have said they are going, so I think the group could end up close to 20 boats/jet skis.

Question for folks who have passed before. Let's say your battery dies while you're over there. Does Bimini have any solutions there or do you all bring a backup?
