I highly recommend a grill AND a blender for Honeymoon Harbor!

@Bruce are we going to organize another back of the boat potluck again?

Absolutely! Unless the group objects, I will bring ham again.

Does our menu planning deserve another thread?

Sure, why don't you create one, that way we both can edit the first post. We should include your Honeymoon Harbor video so everyone knows what we are talking about.

Booked Bimini Sands today with ocean view, two bedroom condo. Waiting on final email from the resort as to which condo number we have. There will be 4 adults on the boat and everyone is itching to go already. This will be a brutally long six months. Anything we can help with on the planning aspect, the wife and I would be glad to assist. Very excited to meet everyone finally.

Can't go this year yet. );
Next year is ten year anniversary and we are going to start a fund for it!
We are still moving into our house, and the boat still needs a place to live, so construction will be eating extra cash. We also have my father in the position of being unemployed and starting to really feel the squeeze on finances so our extra funds will be heading to him this year. Apparently he's overqualified, the companies keep telling him they can't afford him even though no amount is discussed!
Anyways, going to watch this thread eagerly once again, update our passports, and get ready for our ten year anniversary out there!

So one of my good friends has been thinking about joining the trip he has a 2010 seadoo speedster 150. I told him that I have seen people do this trip in that boat but that he would need to be fully prepared not to make the voyage in that boat unless condition where near perfect anyone have any thoughts on this? His real sceptisim is the one time he tried to follow me out into the ocean It was a bad day the waves where about 4-5 chop coming through the channel out and I think it scared him but if conditions where like that on this trip I would think he would not attempt the journey and just wait a day or two for conditions to change.

@robert843, is the Speedster 150 a 15' boat?

Has he seen the Kevin and Corrie videos?

Also what is your boat? Do we need to add options for it?

 

[robert843]

@Bruce yes the speedster is a 15 ft boat it is the exact same boat Kevin and Corey used in their first crossing video to bimini so it can be done and I have shown him that video. Due to certain circumstances (Me getting a promotion at work but forcing me to get another place in Columbia SC) My boat situation is up in the air at the moment we have a 20ft hurricane deck boat and two jet skis we where waiting for our rental property sell to hopefully get a new 24ft jet boat . The house is under contract now and we are shopping now in fact we are driving down to Chareston tomorrow to go to the boat show and the house closes this week coming up. If we don't buy another boat we intend to take the jet skis down and do the trip like Kevin did but hopefully we have another boat by then. Even still we will probably bring a jet ski as well as we have wanted to do that and we have another friend who intends to join on a jet ski. We really want to bring our daughter as well so still hoping for the boat.

Hi, we are Mike and Elena.
We are in for this trip. Picking up my boat next week and this is the kind of stuff we were looking for. This is our first boat but have been deep sea fishing since I was a kid. We are very excited about this and look forward to meeting members.

Welcome Aboard!

Is "zedx" a reference to Nissan cars?

The first post of this thread has all the info that you will need to book your accommodations in Fort Lauderdale and Bimini. The Preparing For Bimini thread has lots of info about the island.

Quick question we are going to bring our seven year old daughter are children arriving by private vessel required to have a passport? I do know that for air travel they do. All the bahamas website says is all U.S. citizens arriving by private vessel require a passport but it doesn't define age like the cruise ship guidelines do.
