It looks like an earlier morning, perhaps 07:00 crossing would be quite pleasant however a 09:00 crossing may catch that mean wind forecast for 11:00.

 

[Bruce]

Of course the forecast may change every 10 minutes all night and that wind may never materialize or could be there all day.

 

[swatski]

We may as well.

@Valerie Well, if you guys do not get a golf cart, try walking back to the ferry - the beach on that side of the north island is simply breathtakingly beautiful, maybe minus some hurricane damaged properties along the 2(?)mile stretch.
It is a bit of a long-ish walk, but absolutely awesome.
I was a bit slow (limping with a cast and a broken ankle on that trip) but that walk was still one of the highlights for us.

I believe @Bruce has the tracks from the 2016 trip, it would be hard to get lost though, lol.

@Girlfriend I think this is Kristians group
He has a nice forecast for tomorrow
I’m so damn jealous!

 

[Valerie]

@swatski walking there would be ok, it’s the walk back that I’m pretty sure people would be dropping like flies Lol

The only thing we have left to do with our smal l vessel reporting system is make the float plan. We have all the numbers.. Would it be worth finishing that and downloading this app at the same time?

Nothing on the tracker yet.....

 

[bronze_10]

Still nothing

 

[Berrie]

And they're off to the races.....

 

[bronze_10]

Yup

 

[bronze_10]

And they are back

 

[Berrie]

Nah, they're definitely going... LOL

 

[bronze_10]

i know.. it looked like they did a loop.

 

[Berrie]

Last stretch was 24mph
Next one as well.... keeping steady....

Only @Glen and @Kevin Sargent dropped out with some complaint about the Bataan Death March. It was basically the same route that we golf carted last year but with a larger group and on foot. We had a great time.

Everything we visited last year will be marked on the maps handed out at the Capn’s meeting. There are no maps in Bimini.

The crossing forecast is excellent. Less than one foot waves, very long periods between them and low wind. It should be an easy crossing. The forecast improved greatly overnight.

@Bruce I would like officially request these same perimeters for the june crossing. I searched the forum but I can't find the appropriate " dead calm seas" request form.
