I just received the preliminary docking assignments for everyone. Before you go the your slip, dock at the Bahia Mar dock along the intercoastal waterway and go into to the office and check in. This check in is only for the marina, once you dock you will have to go to the tall building to check into the hotel.

[hobineros]

Was killing it in the gulf stream this morning, flat as a board. should've crossed, was super tempted. Weather looks good tommorrow to, we just had some shit blow through, probably be clear till 2 or 3pm
tommorrow. I can't trust weather forecasts more than 24 minutes out <minutes not hours> lol

 

[veedubtek]

Tomorrow is a great forecast to Kayak across in .

 

[Bruce]

Is it this good? I had to do something while you guys were towing.

 

[hobineros]

Damn! Whose 212x that thing looks amazing

 

[Andy S]

Look who just passed me it's our Pennsylvania bud.

 

[Bruce]

The forecast for Sunday looks awesome!

Monday looks like a day to explore North Bimini. The rest of the week looks like one of the best forecasts that I have ever seen for Bimini.

If you do head to N Bimini and want a golf cart I suggest calling Sluggo. He will bring Golfcarts to you. Numbers are 242 473 5121 or 242 473 3465.

I agree this trip can be done easily with out extra fuel on a ski but I would always caution people that to remember that means straight there no trying to help other boats out or goofing off as there is no back up. In 2015 @Andy S and I almost ran out of fuel on the skis and we did have extra fuel and still made it in on fumes. We were assisting other boats and making sure a few others got in safely but in that process neglected out own fuel situation to assist others it was close even with the extra 5 gallons we brought.

In 2015 I was the only one to have any fuel left on our approach into Bimini and I gave it away.
