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

Me too, that's why I jumped on the dog food, I can afford one bag.

@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

[Valerie]

It pays to take care of Gaylord. He may be a short timer on the island (new management) but he has a huge heart and bigger connections.

Looks like Sunday is looking better than Saturday now

About the same as this morning. Sunday morning is a nice day on the lake. Monday morning is an ass kicker.

What happened to bimini Brad?

 

[Bruce]

Brad is a home owner, POA Board member and runs Rentals at Bimini Sands. He is not going anywhere.

Customs and Immigration update.

@Bruce has worked his magic and we now have an Immigration Officer that will be at Bimini Sands, a Customs Officer was always going to be there. The one catch is that this Immigration Officer probably is coming in on their off time so we have been asked to pay for them, the rate is $50 per hour. Bruce and I believe it will take 2 to 4 hours to clear everyone, so worst case we are looking at $200. If the 30 vessels each gave $5 or $10 to @justason at the Captains Meeting, this should be plenty to cover the cost. If we didn't pay for an Immigration Officer, you would either have to take a cab to and from the airport (probably cost you at least $10) or go to the Big Game Club (probably burn $1o worth of fuel $5.50 per gallon), so each vessel paying $5 to $10 each would be at least a break even scenario but a heck of a lot more convenient. You can give me the money at the Captain's Meeting on Saturday night at 7pm in the Bahia Mar Marina building lobby or when you see me in Bimini. Since I am in the last group arriving it makes sense for me to collect the money and pay the Immigration Officer.

HYDROTHERAPY 3 is in... I'll pay you over there though

 

[CraigAR]

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!

If your coming down I75 from Tampa there is a Bass Pro at exit 128, you can see it from the interstate, for all your fishing needs.

I'm towing with my cover on. I've hit rain And it put a film of road yuck all over the windshield, seats and floor

 

[McMark]

Plus you don’t want stone chips in your boat windshield. I put a big beach ball in the bow to keep the cover from stretching down into the bow too far.

Got a Florida welcome with a shower.
