@tim h's 10:30 group just departed with Swatski, six skis and a similar number of boats. I am not aware of a published inReach for anyone in that group.

Wow.. looks like they killed it on the way back.. 30 mph!

 

[DiverB]

@Bill D is down to 6mph and facing north

we got stopped by Coast Guard. All is good

 

[DiverB]

I figured they'd get y'all. They caught @1948Isaac and I headed in to Miami this morning too. We gave them a heads up that about 40 more crazy Jetboaters would be right behind us.

Here is Isaac's Coast Guard selfie.

 

[swatski]

We made it

@GMAN2015 returned to Bimini Sands with a disconnected cooling hose. His boat is repaired. He will most likely cross back tomorrow.

just radio check, but we came dead in the water and the drift cost me 2 miles to get back on my plotted course line. No biggie, they were pleasant and professional

 

[swatski]

Thanks everyone for keeping a good pace, that was fun!

Very glad the weather gave you pleasant journey today all! And that those they traveled are back in the US. Safe travels on the roads as well.

 

[Bennie]

Who's still left to cross back tomorrow?

(my boss wants to know if I'll be using all the bandwidth again to "chase down all my little boat buddies") haha

 

[Bill D]

Hey @Edgar Almonte make sure you let us know how everything worked out with the tow boat. We're hoping for the best.
