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

[AndyD]

The forecast for an early Sunday crossing is the best the we have ever had for a crossing to Bimini. I bet it is under 2.5 hours allowing some time for “first crossing” problems.

What kind of “first crossing” problems might we be referring to?

Loose items or crew getting out of control. Fuel tanks falling off. Crew losing their breakfast.............

Then throw in the experienced crew problems of glasses being stolen by Poseidon, crew losing their breakfast ...........

Ahhh...I thought maybe you meant the being in 2000 feet of open water 30 miles from nothing scared shitless kind of problems.

 

[Bruce]

Don't eat breakfast, got it

I believe that results in loosing dinner.

I’m just hoping my depth reader blanks out and reads 0 the whole way. Not sure I can stomach looking at how deep it is the whole way.

Table set up in the garage gathering all the stuff I need to pack for stage one (stage 2 being arriving in Tampa and collecting all the fishing gear and food). Of course its freakin hot here...and 90% humidity, so just to make sure I loose a little more sweat weight, it rains just to ensure it is 100% humidity! LOL

Don't forget a tire iron for trailer....that way you won't need it! Filled up the windshield washer fluid. Spare diesel oil.

Gonna run out and get some cheap dollar store ice trays....the condos ones were crappy last year...I'll donate mine when we leave!

@Speedling don't let @justason fool you. The July mid point will look more like this.....

I have a request from Gaylord (current Assistant Manager at Bimini Sands).

“Good morning Bruce I need some assistance if anybody in group is coming Sunday can bring a bag of Merrick dog food I would pay them when they get here that would be great.”

Can anyone help him out?

@Valerie @Andy S So we have this covered? If not, I'm about to go past a Petsmart.....

 

[Valerie]

I can go by after work, I went at lunch and grabbed him some Jack.....

My wifey picked up a bag but having more probably would be welcomed.

@Valerie @Julian @justason @Andy S It sounds like you have the dog food covered he also asked for a fat stack of hundreds if you all would like to get that together he did however request after you get it together to please get it to me for transportation I will take care of that part for you. You can transport the dog food

Since I'm completely taking care of the dog food (purchase and delivery) I feel you can take complete care of the cash request.

I'm poor and unfortunately can't afford to assist with that request at this time but thanks.
