For the third time is it??? damn....
started to close out on the winter projects on the boat this past weekend.......and we're facing an ice storm today......

I've started planning Bimini 2015 with a few friends (ie: guys run)......but no need to mention this just yet when you see my wife in June !!....

I scored a set of regulators and BC's this year. I think I'll leave the tanks at home. talking my son into a "advanced dusk" dive....making him a "special" scuba suit now...

ITS CLOSING IN !!!

 

[upperdeck]

Yes, third time, and I'm sure there will be a fourth! My wife is more than a bit upset with me that this year is a guys trip. She definitely wants back on the boat!

I'm hoping we will be as sucessful at fishing this year as last!

 

[upperdeck]

Ok, I'll give you that...

AZ/miami 2380 miles WI/miami 1457.....zoinks

 

[BoaterGuy]

1089 Miles for me from Baltimore, MD. Going to have a full car @ 5 people (I have third row seating). Going to be placing most of the luggage in the boat on the way down over the axles to keep the GVWR in play. Not going to be a fun ride for sure.

Hi Rob.....last year on the tow down I shredded my mooring cover. wasnt the first time it happened to someone doing a long haul. not sure how you plan to pack...or if you are going to cover it..but be advised !!

 

[Bruce]

@RobA, Just have your passengers watch these the whole way there. They can watch your new videos on the way home.

[Bruce]

Apparently I am only allowed 5 videos per post, someone needs to fix that!
