Bimini 2022

[KCAR250]

The

I'm in for a 2022 crossing trip. Will be taking a 2021 Sea Doo and I'm only willing to cross with a group.

Are there other ways to get in on one of these trips. Are their professional guides? Just beginning research phase.

Bahamian government sponsors trips for $75.

Boating Fling Registration

Boating flings are the Bahamian equivalent of a road trip. A lead boat pilots the way for a caravan of boaters across the Gulf to The Bahamas.

I'm down as well. Tried this year, but timing didn't work with my son's baseball.

I'm letting covid die down before I go again. Plus this year I'm gonna head to Lake of the Ozarks for the shootout. Plus that 24 hour drive hauling a 34ft boat kinda sucked.

Since our 275sd is finally coming Monday, we might be down! We're from NC and would love to plan to go down with a group. Two adults and a few older kids (teens). Hubby has been doing research and it looks like a blast. Following for more info and planning...

Very much wantibg to go this summer. Some of our group are really big planners and want dates ASAP. I’m personally a bit more flexible. Whenever the there are some firm-ish dates laid out I’m ready to commit.

Since my family screwed up my 2021 Bimini trip by bailing at the last minute....I may plan my own trip in 2022, and look for crew members......

Mine will be a late June, or mid July trip (avoiding the 4th of July).

@Julian count me in.

Almost a week without posts? Come on people, my boat is winterized, my sanity depends on these posts! It's how I survive through the winter!

This is what it's all about!

Would love to join for 2022. Just need the dealership to deliver the boat. .

I’d love to go, but not sure about making the trip on a 21 foot boat.

I think we had 7 21 footers and 2 19 footers last year...it's possible but weather is even more important in a smaller boat

How long you thinking of staying for the week or long weekend?

Keep me updated I'd be interested.

Typically I stay a week.

Typically I stay a week.

I think our alaska cruise is finally going to happen that we have had planned aince summer 2020 so I'll be gone end of June to July 4th. Once you figure out dates I'll talk to the wife and see if I can get some away time lol.

I’d have to go for atleast a week for it to be worth the trouble of towing my boat for 20hrs each way.

I hear ya, it takes me 3 days towing there and 3 days towing back (can't tow oversized load after dark), so I haven't been in 4 years.
Still thinking about next year.

WestMarine has a Garmin GPSmaps 86SCI Inreach satellite communicator on sale for $450. Has anyone used inreach on their Bimini trip? Seems like a good deal.

We have a group throwing some tentative dates for Jul 9-16 or somewhere in there. I'd also like to go for a week this year...

 

[Bjensen24]

We are looking to make our first crossing some time end of may or beginning of June this year. Finally got our 252 FSH! Never really felt comfortable before but with over 100 gallon tank I can relax a little. Being our first time would love to follow a couple boats that have done this before.

 

[KCAR250]

I haven’t figured out dates yet so I’m still open!

We're planning a trip for this summer. I'm also on a FB group and there is a group organizing to go around the second week in July that we're trying to jump in with. We're coming from NC and our dates are very flexible with enough notice. Anytime in June or early-mid July is ideal. Anything already scheduled or still in planning stages?
