[robert843]

Have you purchased your Renegade?

lol no I have not but it was close.

We are rolling in June with 3 renegades all over 33ft all pushing over 1100hp.

In one trip you are bringing track ready Ducatis and now this!!!!! you are not making these trips exactly " equal opportunity " if you know what I mean.

on a Formula 350.

Yep
I feel so left behind

Good attitude for crossing.
It is still early to loose sleep over the organization. If you have time at hand, I would put toward making your boat ready for the crossing. The link below will keep you busy for a while

I think I've over prepared...............

I think I've over prepared...............

You and me both....

It’s all good.

It will likely be March before anything starts to change at Bimini Sands if it does. Even then so much harm has been done that I doubt they can turn the facility around in the few months available.

I have contacts that can help at Big Game Club and Blue Water in Bimini and Old Bahama Bay in West End. Happy to handle the negotiations for any smaller groups that want to form for any of those destinations.

Latest news out of OBB is that the condo owners lost and the marina is shut down - the only slips they can rent are the few they own - no fuel

Certainly they have legal issues as well.

I spoke to the head of their booking agency on Sunday who was more positive than this but it will be a few weeks before I have the proposal. My understanding that the OBB legal team is well funded and making good progress. Although it is the Bahamas so no one can predict the outcome!

@Valerie wife and I are headed down to the keys mid June. We will he spending 3 days in key largo area. If you are interested in anything specific I'll try to do some research. I need to find the trip plan wife has and can post up some stuff we have already found.

No - We do not own at the Sands - just really love it there - have many friends that make frequent trips all over the bahamas and its truly amazing hearing their stories and seeing pictures - i guess a lot of its "charm" is maintained due to the lack of consistent govt rules and oversite - if they got their act together, the place would look like south florida.....

Ha I think I just asked when you were going on Roberts Facebook post!

 

[Bruce]

@ididntdoit, I agree that taking the challenge away and flooding the Bamahas with tourists would certainly reduce the appeal for my family.

Unfortunately the insanity at Bimini Sands has gotten way out of control.

 

[Betik]

@Valerie Orlando is a south as we will get this summer. we are thinking for a potential thanksgiving run but nothing certain. maybe 2020 if Bimini Sands is still a mess.

@ididntdoit do you have a twin sister in Doylesstown PA?

are you going to Disney?

 

[Betik]

are you going to Disney?

Disney for us is $500 a day kind of think. I would rather save that for Bimini or the keys. We will stick science museum maybe NASA and I think there will be some boating involved in gulf coast. We shall see
