Is it too late to register for this? Might be a possibility that my family and I can make it. Still up in the air... Might have to stay pretty far away is what it looks like as of now...
And I have a room at Lithia that I don't need! You're welcome to it.
It's one of the motel rooms, two beds. It's yours if you'd like.
PM me for details.

Well as many of you know a few of us set out last year to Exuma and joined everyone in Bimini last year on the return. Well the Exuma crew is back at it again and @Andy S @1948Isaac @Ramblin Wreck and I will depart for Abaco Bahamas in the morning. This will be a 400+ mile round trip with a total of probably 600 miles done on the boats and the skis during this trip. We will be taking 2 skis and two boats. Feel free to track us along the way the below link should be live and moving around 6am.

I have one hotel room that I'm not using. You're welcome to it. It is two double beds and I think refrigerator, your basic motel room.

@Tad Steinberg , is your dad still planning on getting in on " the old guys ski together?"
Yes he is. He's looking forward to it. We'll have to do it early(ish) Saturday as they are leaving Saturday evening this year.

What is the age limit on old guy water skiing?
Well you see - it's a very complex formula integrating integers and differential equations that takes into consideration boat length impeller ratio and boat draft.

Not sure an age was actually set. Know for sure we wanted to get Tad and his dad up together. I think Impelled and myself also. I think there was one other for sure but cannot remember who it was. I do not think age matters if anyone wants to join in. Will probably do doubles and triples.

No age limit. I thought we wanted to get the 3 most senior folks up on skis together.

My boat projects aren't even done! I MAY try to get the seadek down but this weekend i am going down to Lake Monroe hopefully for my first run of the boat! I still gotta pull out of garage, clean it up, put tower on, string wires for speakers, oil change spark plug change, test on water, see if depth finder works, grease grease grease and make a box of tools for going away for first time on water this year
