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

[Bruce]

It was in the Gulf. And the higher the salt content, the better we float. I don’t know if the Stream has a higher salt content, it is possible

I find that I float much more in Bimini that I did in the Gulf.

well da-ham...your observation has merit http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2042116/Nasa-unveils-map-salt-levels-seas-world-transform-understanding-weather.html

They will float in the salt water. Little or no swimming is actually needed.

That would be cool and I would definitely want them to experience it, I'll just keep a close eye on them.

Probably because there’s more alcohol in you....

I'm looking at having a gathering on Tuesday or Wednesday at Honeymoon Harbor (where the stingrays hangout). This time instead of pot luck I'm thinking of everyone just bring food for their crew. However, if someone whats to bring stuff to share with others they are more than welcome to do so.

Count us in. we are celebrating our wedding anniversary on Tuesday 6/27. I'll tell her we did it all for her! (points)

So @Andy S and I were talking this weekend and we are getting close enough we figured we should start working on putting crossing groups together. Wanted to try and get a little info first to make sure we get this all correct. First I don't see @Cjtita @STEVE garman @Gofish206 @Douglas Lackey and @DiverB (I know you are still working out details Diver B) having a unit updated and booked on the first page I'm sure some of you do and it just never got updated but just wanted to verify you were going before assigning you guys to groups. Right now I have @justason @tim h @jayasaki138 @Julian and @Amar Nanduri all planing for a Sunday crossing as a group and I have everyone else listed as a Monday crossing pending weather if this isn't correct just let me know thanks! Also who planing on the Monday crossing has a fixed mounted VHF and antenna as we are hoping to try and put at least one boat with this in each crossing group? Also any requests to be partnered up with another boat let @Andy S or I know @ThatJeepGuy I think we got yours.

I see I'm in Group 4 (Steve Garman)
