I have Nationwide and confirmed coverage. 75 mile radius from US coverage (any water), but towing coverage seemed to be an issue. I subscribed to BoatUS Unlimited Gold annual membership. Scenario #3 in this doc was the one that seemed most relevant to us.
I would be very skeptical over that 75 mile limit "any water" my original coverage said the same , when queried in detail and requested in writing....they said NO to foreign waters, regardless of distance. I've been with state farm since
I’m skeptical, but got email from Nationwide confirming 75 mile coverage (they actually laughed at first and said “Lloyd’s of London wouldn’t insure” our boats).
sometimes thats best
Do you have a slip reserved with your room?
Yes we have 2 nights reserved at the Bahia mar and also 5 days at the fisherman's village marina.
No worries I really considered hard on staying over there this year as well just to check it out. It seems like it could have more of true vacation type feel then the sands. Hopefully we can get a report on your thoughts at the end of the trip.
Please remember the no wake zone that starts before Big Game Club. The locals ignore it and it is not enforced on them but it is a $500 cash on the spot fine or they impound your boat.
Thanks for the heads up. I will be on island time so don't plan on getting in a hurry for anything. With radio and gps I shouldn't have an issue finding the group when needed.
I know @Andy S does I will have to see if I can find it in an old thread
Typically those that stay off site tend to feel excluded since they miss out on the planning that takes place in the pool at night and over the radio in the mornings. Even those that stay in the canals of South Bimini have reported this. If you want to be more involved with the group I suggest pulling into the Bimini Sands marina in mornings before people head out to listen to the radio chatter about where people are going. For the July trip we will have a daily radio call on handhelds around 09:00 which would make that a good time to be there. Hanging out at the infinity pool in the evening is also a good opportunity to make plans with the group.
