2018 Bimini June trip (June 24th - June 30th)

Nice! Cant wait to use it myself.
 
I jist did CBP Roam and I dont have a svrs number. I was accepted without a video interview. Took less than 5 minutes
 
The CBP app was pretty cool. The agent wanted to verify that my “boat” was only 12.5 feet long then was really surprised when I said it was a jet ski. Then he asked...you rode that from the Bahamas??? Then he laughed and said he liked my boat name “boyfriend” and asked if it was past or present...I thought the guy was going to ask me for a date!!! LOL
 
Last night after I landed from a flight with Gavin I was disappointed to read about the slip overcharges.

I have sent the following email to the marina management at Bimini Sands.


Gentlemen,

My groups were quoted a rate of "$50.00 per night + tax for up to 30ft" for slips before reserving their condos and slips.

This is the rate that they expected when checking in.

They were absolutely shocked to be charged more at checkout. Many have already expressed interest in finding other lodging for 2019.

I have brought you 150 days of slip rental ($7,500) already this year and have planned to bring another 250 days of slip rental ($12,500) on July 9th. I believe that volume of rental is more than deserving of the small discount offered.

I would appreciate immediate refunds of all charges above the original quoted rate.

Thanks, this is exactly what I needed.

Do you know what the slip rates will be in Bimini? Do I need to negotiate with Helena about that?​
 
It was so rich that the it doubled the oil volume with fuel!
I guess being MR-1s are dry sump oil system - is great in this case, right?
Must check air filter, bet you it is soaked from the volume increase.

The pee hole for that engine had oily residue.. So yes I am pretty sure it reached a level where the filter was pulling it in and running it back through the motor... And somehow a small amount was coning through the water and being discharged over board. I hope the engine will survive... If I can channel all my good mojo I hope it will result in a replacement ecu and maybe an injector.. I hope..
 
@bronze_10, I believe you can have a whole set of injectors cleaned and balanced for less than the cost of one new one.

Mike, hoping everything works out well with that engine. Hated hearing all that.
 
Hope everyone makes it home safe and with an uneventful journey, other than the torrential rains in north Florida.

I-75 was a mess
And
I 10 was a complete disaster from 75 to Pensacola
