Ours did the same. Our credit card, Capitol One, actually flagged it as a fraudulent charge and contacted us this morning. They've taken the higher charge off our account and are supposedly working it out with GoPro. We actually got a 2nd order confirmation and shipping notice so we'll see if we end up with 2.
I think I'm going to do the same route versus fighting with gopro and just call my credit card company as I'm pretty sure by law they can can't just charge my credit card what ever they feel like. What makes me mad is I'm fortunate to not be in this situation but imagine I was a 22 year old single parent and bought this but only had $400 in the bank they are currently holding $500 of my money and I would be broke with no way to feed my child because they were holding that amount for the two charges. All they had to do was call and say oopps we made a mistake or anything that's some pretty crappy customer service.
You are unlikely to want to anchor in more than 20’ of water.
We anchored last year in 100' of water to do some jigging for fish and when we went to pull up the anchor it was well and truly stuck. Fortunately I'd chosen to drop my cheap fluke anchor, but still lost that and 150' of rope
(just happy I was smart enough not to drop my box anchor!)
I will take both Saturday & Sunday night.
Haha, I have this on the board in my class. My students were shocked that I gad to work that long....they were more shocked when I told them I'd already been teaching for 14 years
Count us in too.I would say by looking at it you have more then enough lol. I'm hoping I have 100 ft in mine looks like you have 300+ ft. I agree with @Andy S I don't expect to drop an anchor any deaper then in 20ft or
Great Isaac Cay
Great Isaac Cay Lighthouse in 2004
Lighthouse[edit]
The most prominent feature of the island is its lighthouse, which was erected in 1859, and stands about 151 feet (46 m) tall. It has been claimed that a full moon causes unusual sounds to be heard on the small island. In the late 19th century local lore tells of a ship wreck on the island with one survivor, an infant. The child’s distraught mother, known as the Grey Lady, is said to haunt the island to this very day, wailing in sorrow during the full moon.
On August 4, 1969, the station was discovered to have been abandoned by its two keepers, who were never found.[3]Many believers in the Bermuda Triangle claim that the keepers were two more victims lost to its mysterious forces.[4]however, the hurricane record from 1969 indicates that Hurricane Anna [1], the first hurricane of 1969, on 1–2 August, passed close enough to Great Isaac Island to cause dangerous weather for the tiny rock island. By the 4th of August, the hurricane was well into the Atlantic Ocean.
The grounds are open to the public, although the lighthouse itself has had stairs removed to block access to the interior of that structure. The keepers’ house, cistern, and assorted buildings are crumbling into ruins. The derelict collection of abandoned buildings make Great Isaac Cay a popular destination for boaters.
That’s actually what I did last time...most everyone was very open and I make sure I have enough extra rope and bumpers if needed.
Anytime that someone can get a mooring ball I encourage boats to tie up to each other. Rafting is a pain with waves but it is easy to tie to a rear clear on the boat in front of you. I have often had five or more boats tied to the same mooring ball.
Switch to the dark side...but you will be on the July trip Bruce!!
@Valerie I know of a pretty red boat on the june trip u can tie off too.. . Its not @Bruce blue boat but it is identical except for the color... Well and the fridge... And the engine compartment mod, and the grill mount mod, and the new hardwood floors he put below deck in all 3 statetooms..... Along with the marble counter tops in the galley and two bathrooms but other than all that they are identical!but you will be on the July trip Bruce!!
Stop by the Bimini Sands office and Helena can arrange a tour for you. It is best to arrange the tour the day before. They hold the tour at low tide. I have never been able to get a same day tour.
My kids love shark stuff especially my oldest. We would be down to go! Anyday works for us.
