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

[Sbrown]

OK....Alistair and I now have a reservation at the Motel 6 just down the street from Harbor Town for Saturday night.

Probably where I'll be staying as well

 

[Amar Nanduri]

All the kids can have a sleepover in my living room on Sunday evening/night. It will be a great start for them to get to know each other and make new friends. Feel free to come over to 21I and crash at my place. My son(12) and daughter (10) will love it.

Are you planning the same routine as us? (Launching early AM on Sunday, parking and heading out?) If so, we should coordinate so we can depart together.

 

[Bruce]

Since Sunday has more boats to Bimini. Can we arrange Immigration to Bimini Sands ?

tag @Bruce he's been the point of contact between us. getting the govm't to move within 4 days may be a miracle. @Bruce we are at approx 16 vessells and 50+ people at the moment for sunday

While I will try for Sunday it is likely to be a no.

Yeah that's what we'll do if the weather pans out that way; otherwise we're still on for Monday.

 

[Bruce]

If you do cross on Sunday please be kind to the staff. With another group departing on Sunday and full occupancy this weekend a small number of staff will be working very hard to get your rooms cleaned for you.

When we crossed early in 2016 many of us waited until late afternoon for our rooms. Groups of boats went out to enjoy the water after clearing customs.

On top of the rush to clean rooms the staff learned last week that new management would be taking over July 1st and they have questions about job security.

You might want to pass the message along that I'm an extremely generous tipper...if I'm well taken care of.

Those big game club docks will be busy on Sunday! Would it make sense for some of us to go to the airport while others go to BGC?

Lauderdale Marina will be open. It is on the left when you pass under the bridge. They have bait, ice , snacks and souvenirs inside.

go back and read through last years crossing, as we were crossing......the stories were flying fast and furiously. My non biological daughter was messaging random strangers trying to find out if we were ok. We need a little excitement......
