Perhaps reply to the email and ask which condo you are in.

I jus got off phone with them & apparently as of right now I'm in 21 according to their records. She said not to worry much about it as they sometimes don't send room #'s to some people in case something happens & they have to change locations before arrival.

I'm not worried at all about being in that location even though I realize I may have a good long walk to meet up with anyone. I'm fortunate enough to be going & I wouldn't care if I had to sleep in the office floor as long as I'm there! Lol

I'm not seeing one in either one. @Bruce

The "automated" confirmations that I received did not specify the condo number either. I think it just depends on who is inputting the information into the system.

@Bruce which uniden radios do you use?

We have a pair of MHS050 which are no longer available. At one time they were around $100 a pair. I find the batteries need to replaced each year but are inexpensive.

For your ski crews I would look at the ~$85 Uniden Atlantis 250 or similarly priced after rebate Standard Horizon HX290 as a minimum.
These are 5 watt radios what will give you a little more range. I have an old Uniden Atlantis 250 that we used before we had a fixed VHF. It has served us well but with a 25 watt fixed radio in the boat we stopped using it.

Building 21 has an amazing view. We have stayed in 21M the last two years.

Good deal! I believe that's the one she told me but may have said "N".

@Bruce where did u mount your radio? And what's the difference between the b model and the w model?

 

[swatski]

Just got the condo confirmation, and a separate confirmation for the slip, found it on spam filter. I made reservations last night. They also called and left me a voice mail so I called back - very, very nice people. Condo 21R, wherever it is, hope it's the same island as you guys - South Bimini, Bahamas!
Thank you @Bruce !

The color of the case and below the helm on the right side.

You can see it mounted in this thread https://jetboaters.net/threads/adding-an-external-vhf-speaker-even-a-tiny-one-makes-a-huge-difference.5923/

Hey guys. Hope everyone is well. I hear everyone is happy. But I have a question what is our day of arrival at the resort. I must have skipped that post some where. So I can book my room.

@ACrews mine did not have a unit number either. I emailed them today to see if they could let me know which unit I was in as I had requested a specific unit or building. I have not heard back yet I may call tomorrow if I don't hear back

Yes sir. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. I knew I wasn't that crazy & not being able to find it. Lol. She told me a number when I called but jus told me don't worry too much about it as it may change & rest assured they have my reservation written down.

 

[BgTravis]

After a long two days of trying to book, it looks like we will be joining @swatski and @ACrews in 21Q!

 

[Bruce]

I added unit numbers and the latest registrants to the first post. If you know which condo you are in please post so we can know where everyone is at and who has booked.

Thanks

We have the longest walk to the infinity pool, I think you are right!

You're doing a fantastic job keeping it together & happy late birthday @Bruce .

 

[Jr15g]

@Bruce Our condo number is 7E.

 

[Valerie]

@Bruce we are in 7Q!! So excited! That water has ruined me to any water over here at home!!

i sooo want to do this trip but a few things will put it out of reach this year. 1st we are taking the kids to disney in March. i would rather go to bimini but this will be the one time we take them.... never again. Next, we have had our boat for one year... our first boat.. not sure i am ready for blue water yet.... However I am thinking of putting a bug in my family's ear for 2017. The god parents are going to disney with us so maybe next year me and the godfather can take the boat over while the wives and the kids fly........ i gotta start scheming. but for those of you who have been married for any length of time know when u suggest things outside of the norm you have to gradually build up to the full message. everyone would love being there with the boat.... it's the crossing that looses my wife!!! plus i am about top spring for a new trailer this year... so that kinda absorbs any extra funds..

@bronze_10, looks like U have the priorities sequence right! Hang in there and keep the dream alive. I dreamed a Jet Ski trip from NC to FLA Keys for almost 10 years until I finally did it. My long term girlfriend & 1st wife would not get on it for 4 of those years. Then when she finally did, I almost lost possession of my ski and could not get her off it. ;-) Now 600 hrs and 15K plus miles later Bimini is an awesome annual ritual.
