I really need to pull mine out of the boat and measure it I can’t remember if I have enough anchor line for Bimini.

 

[Amar Nanduri]

If its anything like last year....everyone on Monday will be wishing they crossed on Sunday!

But that's ok...we'll try not to be too hung over when we come rescue you guys....

What a coincidence. I was thinking the same that each of us would need to carry a couple of 5 gallon gas tanks and “chaperone” the Monday group safely into Bimini

Sent my drone registration in! Now I have one month to learn how to fly it!!! LOL (Gopro Karma....wonder if I should buy a 2nd battery)

@Julian, what did you have to do to get approval for flying in the Bahamas? I already have my FAA registration for the US and a prior post by @robert843 mentioned emailing a guy in the Bahamas (Edwards?) for approval but I never received a response back from the him.

I figured some of the Monday crew would have to tow some of the Sunday crew into Bimini.

You better have a big boat then. I will mostly be coming in on a 35 footer.

I hope this is enough anchor line for bimini..

View attachment 74706 I hope this is enough anchor line for bimini..

Most areas you will anchor in is 20' or less. The problem is the ocean floor is mainly limestone which makes it tough to get your anchor to hold and sometimes when it does grab hold it is tough to get it to let go. The only time you might anchor in deeper water is when you want to fish over top of one of the barges just off shore which are in 100' of water.

Well... I don't like buying stuff twice... Sooo I bought enough.. Measuring it out now because I don't remember how much I ordered last December...

 

[bronze_10]

145 foot of rope and 6 foot of chain..
