Abaco, Bahamas trip June 2017

[MrMoose]

It is sad but I have seen a good bit of wanted posters for stolen boats, all the boats had multiple Yamaha outboards, so I should be safe..

They probably wouldn't have any use for a jet boat. How do you part that out in the Bahamas? So, @1948Isaac should be safe.

We will cross paths I'm headed to Old Bahama Bay on Saturday AM out of Jupiter. Be safe on your travels and enjoy your final day in paradise

2 hours from home, what a long day. But an amazing week! Nippers and Grabbers and Cheeseburgers in Paradise and Goombay Smash, oh my.

Free advice - while the barrier reef off of Guana is absolutely stunning, you should definitely not drag your anchor under it. And by no means should you ever drive your boat up on to it.

Home sweet home, what a long day of traveling.

We got in around 1:45am as well. 800 miles (200 by water) and nearly 20 hours later I'm fairly tired. However it was well worth it! Thanks @veedubtek @robert843 @Andy S @1948Isaac for great week in the Abacos. I know my whole family truely enjoyed themselves!

Must see video of such things!!

Hah. Probably the only thing all trip we didn't video. After that (seemingly forever long) dragging sound of driving up onto it, we were all a little freaked out, lol. Wouldn't have been so bad, but we had just spent like 30 minutes carefully navigating our way out at no wake speeds, and the plotter said we were in the clear. Trimmed down and cautiously accelerated, right upon it, all the way to the motor. Good times!

I spy with my little eye! @1948Isaac

I think I saw y'all take off also from the house. I saw a boat with 2 skis following behind as we were unloading at the house.

Are you staying on west end???

@1948Isaac I took the pic after clearing customs yesterday. I was trying to catch up to our friends as they were already on the move. We stayed the night in West End and came home today

That was us the two skis and @1948Isaac boat took off while @Andy S was taking care of an injury to one of his crew members.

Here is a picture of what the wife did to her foot when she kicked the trim tab while hanging over the edge of the swim deck for a potty break. For those that are concerned the trim tab suffered no damage. Thankfully this happened on the return trip and about 25 miles from West End. She is a tough and stubborn little lady, she is refusing to get stitches but is doing a good job keeping it covered.

Thank you for watching... You will definitively have a blast in Bimini.
