Darn you @BBottoms I wasn't going to buy one but with your discount code $199 plus tax I couldn't pass it up. I had planned to buy another Session but guess the 5 black will do.
Can't take credit for it. I saw it over in the What a Deal thread posted by @Volffas. He did all the hard work and took the survey to get the promo code. Looks like he cost both of us $200 tonight!

You can also use the promo code BOT20 for an additional 20% off. We just ordered one (this forum costs me a lot of $$) for $221 shipped.
Awesome...used the promo code to score a Karma battery and a GP 6 dive case! This site is getting more expensive!

Lol I really can’t complain though I was going to buy another session and still may Walmart has them for$129 but with that code taking the price to $199 for the 5 black if I deduct the $40 value of the extra battery and memory card I really just bought a 5 black for $159 so I don’t feel bad at all may have spent a little more but got a nicer camera. Heck with my $159 math I may go buy another one lol instead of the session

How about it. The obvious problem is they are trying to push through the waves when they should be jumping them

That’s more than 4’...
I’d say around 5 - 6’
Nah I just think the confused sea state makes it look worse then it is. Maybe 4-5 ft but I agree with @Julian not the type of conditions I have any desire to cross in.

A rubber coated river anchor is a very nice way to do that.
I have a sand shark anchor for my ski and it’s works great on and near the beach....but I don’t have anything for deep water.

At about the 30 day Mark is when I start to get crazy with the weather and buoy forecast, as if I can do something to change it
I am hopeful this year will be the smoothest crossing since it will be my earliest one..... gotta think positive, right?!?
I have, however, resumed packing. It’s a very strategic task when your a female packing a Yamaha waverunner for almost a week in the Bahamas ya know!:p
I didn’t use or wear half of what I took last time. Trying to pack very light!

@Julian and @BBottoms check your gopro receipts mine was originally charge and billed correctly but noticed today on the shipping receipt that they rebilled mine at a higher price and I now have two charges from GOPRO on my credit card pending one at the correct price and one at the higher rebilled price today. I have not decided if I'm going to call and fight with them today or call my credit card company as I obviously didn't authorize the higher charge.
