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

[DieselCamel]

Ventusky is also a nice app just doesn’t forecast out as far but includes wind wave height to give you a better idea but it’s far from perfect

So the real question is who is getting out on the boat today or is everyone packing lol. Today is my only day off before I leave in fact I will leave tomorrow night on a business trip and not return home till Thursday when I plan to leave. Trying to decide if I have time to get the boat out and still get it all packed and set up to go.

Might go for a spin tomorrow. Taking everything I don’t need for the trip off today and loading some stuff. Going to 303 the Bimini.

Yeah its been decided it's a packing day we will get everything on the boat except clothes and in it's spot to see how much room we got. I'm carrying stuff for 10 people so my space is a little limited I should have an idea today whats going to fit and whats not. Also will head to home depot and grab some packing wrap and go ahead and wrap the tower. Should I wrap around the Bimini top as well or just go under it you think?

Dam 10 people. You have a floating boat trailer you haven’t told us about. I would wrap whatever you don’t want to scrape bugs off of.

Yes its called a jet ski lol. I only have 4 adults and one kid crossing rest are flying in. I will loose a couple once in Bimini as well basically just a cargo barge. I made sure to let everyone know to pack light I and I have final discretion on what makes it across and what doesn't

@veedubtek beer is going to take up half your space

Unfortunitly he will likely have to make other transportation arrangements for his beer or purchase it in Bimini it is highly unlikely I will have room for his required vacation supply.

I am not sure if the Bahama's mail service has extra boats but this may significantly reduce the supply levels in Bimini. @veedubtek is going to want to bring a trailer for his beer!

She looked better at https://www.bahamas.com/vendor/mv-sherice-m

Dang, that's quite the BBQ....

 

[DieselCamel]

Oh no

It sounds like @DieselCamel just volunteered.

Only if it’s that Tea Beer.

 

[veedubtek]

For me, yeah. I'll bring a 30 pack of Stroh's for you.

@Bruce how is this going to impact fuel?

@Bruce how is this going to impact fuel?

Fuel comes via a tanker. Actually a separate tanker for each fuel dock.

The mail boat would have had mail, merchandise, food and most importantly rum on board.

Sounds like a Nassau rum run is cooking
