We are scheduled to leave Ft. Lauderdale on July 12th. We spend the night in Bimini at a house we rent for the week in case of bad weather.
We leave from Bimini to Chub Cay on July 13th and spend a night in Chub
We leave Chub July 14th and go through Nassau and on to the Exumas, where we are renting a house.
We leave Staniel Cay on July 17th and head back to Chub to spend another night.
We leave Chub on July 18th and head back to Bimini House and spend two more days there.
We head back to Ft. Lauderdale on the afternoon of July 20th.

You thinking about going?

Thank you! I am going to do something for sure. Was all set for Abacos but June dates did not work. Still thinking about going there in July following 2 others over there and then meeting back up on the way back.
Your trip sounds interesting and definitely see a lot more. Do you know how many are going?

You will love the Abacos but If you can do it, you will absolutely love the Exumas!

It really has become a second home to us!

Wow! Just mapped out the trip; about 600 miles RT. Seeing how this is my first trip on this boat, think I'll stay closer to home. Need that warm and fuzzy (confidence in the boat) first. Don't get me wrong, love this boat; fastest and best built boat I've owned (see Sig). Let me get bored with Abacos and maybe we can do next year. If your plans change or want to switch, please contact me. Going with a group would be awesome. Good luck and have a great time!

Safe Travels to you and your gang, and yes, we will be going to the Exumas again next year if you want to go!

Sorry for the confusion, we are going to Treasure Cay. I booked a Condo with a boat slip from July 6th thru July 14th. Did it thru VRBO.

Yes it way early to start this but I’m planning on the 2019 trip this year, coming from Dayton, Oh looking to see if anybody from the general area is going and interested in trucking down as group, could be from Kentucky, Indiana, etc, could pick up more on way down, thought it would be great way to meet people going before actually getting there. Plan on stopping half way to break up trip.
What are your crossing dates and travel? Im in North Carolina and want to joint

We're on the fence about joining the Bimini trip this year. Budget and Vacation time are the limiting factors at this point. Considering it for an adults vacation since the boys are 7yrs and 7mo currently.

We're based out of Louisville. We could head over and grab 75S to join the caravan, or if the caravan came down 71 to 65S we're less than 20miles from that route.
We have 10 boats so far for July 8-13
