@upperdeck, @tim h I believe I heard a rumor about base jumping while we were in Bimini.

What rumor was that?

 

[Bruce]

What rumor was that?

I believe someone said that you and Tim were base jumping buddies. If there are stories or rumors I would like to hear them!

I redid the part 1.... The first half is pretty much the same. The second half is different, got some Bokampers and shuttle bus footage in there.

 

[tim h]

Little did any of you know that you were boating with a master of skydiving, @tim h! Well over 1500 jumps I do believe...

Not to mention I have about 750 or so. None over Bimini however...

I have a little over 2000 skydives and 75 BASE jumps. Oh the fun times !!!
There are lots of great stories. Too many to try and cover on here...
You will have to wait until bimini 2015 !

created a thread to upload and store the Bimini video compilations. We can use this to lead into a POLL for best video.....upload your vids, add to the thread.

(was this where we were going with the idea?)....or keep 'em here?

Did anyone get group rates or try for group rates out there?
Did everyone stay at bimini sands?
I noticed a LOT of other places on the islands are already booked for all of June.

I am not aware of anyone trying for group rates.

We all stayed at Bimini Sands.

I think we should ask about group rates once we know how many boats are going. But I doubt there will be much wiggle room.

I was not aware of there being a lot of other places.

http://www.biggameclubbimini.com has availability.

http://rwbimini.com/ shows sold out but I believe they are not taking reservations that far in advance.

http://biminisands.com/ you have to call to make reservations. They did not respond to my emails.
