Daaaannnnggh... Then I prob should not tell u my first window is in 6 years.. I want to wait for the 11 year window.

About two years ago I was on @Speedling timeline and thought I was going to be able to semi retire around 55-56 but then the boss decided we needed a second college fund so I got at minimum 20 more years which would just miss that original goal but more likely to full 30 more to offset the cost of the second college fund

In 6 years I can retire at 50 with reduced benefit... 11 years and I will get full benefit and a supplement untill I start drawing ss.

Social security what’s that?

By the time you reach that entitlement it’ll be nothing but a distant memory....

One weekend left to pack!

And do your final checks and mods. (I have yet to install my vhf external speaker and get the boat on its trailer)

Can't stress enough how important it is your clean out plugs are easy to remove and install.

 

[bronze_10]

I agree. . But I will live the lie about ss as long as possible.

Yeah sitting in the front driveway cleaning coolers now I will never figure out how they get so dirty sitting closed in the garage. My new rear anchor arrived today so I think my last item I’m waiting on is my rear anchor line.

With all the work going on getting ready to go I’m thinking I’m pretty happy to be riding my ski.....not much room so it’s not going to take long to pack!

@Bruce check out the 3:03 mark in this video did someone build a dock at Honey Moon Harbor?

 

[DieselCamel]

I am guessing it is for the RW excursions as well.

If the RW barge is there I would move on. There is plenty to see without mingling with that crowd.

I'll bring the matches

I'm a Hilton Honors members....so I consider myself part of that "crowd"....I think what you meant is....no need to all crowd up the place so if they are there....go to the Sapona or fishing or something else.

Once you see and HEAR them you might Change your affiliation.

Anyone know how often the Sands gets fuel delivery? I hear they’re out of fuel now...

 

[Bruce]

@Julian, the Resorts World development has a long history of destroying Bimini's natural habitat and beauty. This extends to the mangroves that act as a nursery to the marine wildlife, the conch grounds, narrowing of the beaches, the beautiful reefs that were on the West side of North Bimini and even local jobs. The harm of last years hurricane was multiplied by the removal of mangroves and sand that had protected North Bimini for centuries. Their barge takes large groups of landlubbers to remote locations leaving their rubbish behind.

Personally I thought you would not want to associate with that crowd?

 

[tim h]

It used to be every Thursday I think...

Roughly every two weeks. I asked them to have 4,000 extra gallons on hand for your group. Their tanks hold either 20,000 gallons of gas and 20,000 gallons of diesel or they may have switched to 30,000 gallons of gas and 10,000 gallons of diesel.

If Bimini Sands happens to run out of fuel while you are there rush to Blue Water in N Bimini and fuel up.
