    Thoughts and observations from my failed Bimin Crossing

    @kthrash, Thanks for your honest assessment of what happened out there! Having made this Bimini trip on the date in question, I will tell you what worked for us with a similar sized group.

    My boat was rinsed for the first time by the ran showers that came through last night. I don't bother with the daily washdowns. I do spend a lot of time cleaning everything up on our return however.

    It's heartbreaking that two boats didn't make it across. I'm thankful to God that no one was injured badly. No other boats backed out of the second attempt. I did see a lot of shifting of loads to the rear of the boat while at the gas docks. Someone mentioned the tides in the inlet. I was one...

    Mostly beer tip the dockmaster. I've used it to tip them for adjusting my dock lines. But that's for piers with no floating docks. The sands have floating docks, no need for adjustments.

    I have in my possession one scupper wrench. If anyone would like me to bring it along, I would be happy to transfer it to you in Ft. Lauderdale. I also have the equipment to read your Yamaha engines. I will bring that along also if anyone is interested.
