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

[Amar Nanduri]

Ok guys
There has been a slight change in plans and I need 150 lbs(approx) of living and breathing meat with a cooler and back back for paid transport from FL to Bimini and back. Preferably for the hopeful Sunday departure....
Can anyone help?

Is your ski shot @Valerie ?

 

[Bruce]

I need to buy a stern anchor for a 35 footer. Any recommendations?

A Mantus.

@farrelltravis can help.

@farrelltravis can help.

@Amar Nanduri He lives like 1 hour away from me. If you get it from him I can bring it with me so you do not have to pay shipping

 

[Amar Nanduri]

Thanks for the info. I will get in touch with him.

 

[Valerie]

@Valerie I will be able to help. I will be solo crossing. My family will fly over and back.

Thank you so much!

No It to get Diana over, she was gonna catch a ride with Tim
She needs to have the full Bimini crossing experience
She pet sat for me last year and watched our nail biter crossing and she was hooked!
Plus she is in our group of jetski/campers but minus the ski

I’ll pull them on a tube behind the ski......
But seriously once we get over there I’d be happy to run them around a bit

We had a new ski and then sold it once we had the boat.. My oldest wasn't too I. Pressed.. My middle one loved it and my youngest couldn't get enough of the hard twisting and turning.. She's my daredevil..

Twisties on the Kissimmee river are my favorite when running with a small group A few of us have wound up in trees when it’s been a crowded ride.
We had a small group on the river yesterday and it was a pretty good day

I was loading the wife's and my info into the Roam App and had a thought and need the group's input.

Once we get back to the states, it seems we will need to video conference instead of just a phone call to clear customs, this is were my question comes from. Since my crew will be departing Harbour Towne in 2 different vehicles, what do you think of each vehicle creating their own Trip on Roam? The reason I thought of this is because I'm wondering if on the video chat that the customs officer will want to see each person and their passports. If we aren't in the same vehicle completing this will be tough if we decide to drive North while waiting on getting a customs officer on video chat. Calling in the past has taken anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to get thru and I don't want to be stuck at Harbour Towne waiting on the video chat before departing when I could be driving home. My one concern, albeit small, is what will the system think of 2 trips of identical times using the same boat.

Does anyone know if part 121g from Oreilly Auto Parts will fit under the console of a 240?

 

[tim h]

With a little customization I think it'll fit !

 

[robert843]

With a little customization I think it'll fit !

Thanks guess I would have to probably look into some speed mods to make it effective and I guess try and get some measurements of the console to see if it will fit it may fit under the rear seat as well not sure.

Hi Andy
right now this is how we are set up in my boat. Our guest have their own ROAM app and my boat on it. We may combine once we are face/face.

My other thought: We'll call into ROAM and start cleaning the boat. If they havent called us back I'll prob drive to the customs office and work either angle for whatever comes first. call me crazy but My faith in a government system just isn't 100%

Eric,
I guess my thought wasn't crazy because you are doing the samething as I thought of. Much like calling in I bet it will take a long time in the queue before the actual video chat.
