well crap, I guess 'cause everyone is flying colors, I have to go shopping for a Tar Heel flag. Not that I went there or anything, I am just sending all my money there the past few years. GO HEELS !!!

So bimini prep is starting with some last minute machine details. I have a garmin GPS 78sc I use on the boat. I have the quick release marine swivel mount on the boat so I can take the GPS with me every time I leave the boat. So started playing with a ski today to be able to have a quick release mount with out drilling and holes into the ski and here is what I came up with. A couple a washers a bolt a straight metal peice and a bolt the already existed on the ski got me this.

Not woried about the metal bar at all. under neath the hood is all plastic that will break long before the bar does lol. That is why this gps comes with a lanyard so it can be secured at another location as well. It also floats never tested that though. Also the location is protected by the hood if it takes the full force of a 4ft wave I have bigger issues as that means my body probably is as well. I have to ask how they lost them? I have been riding jet skis off shore since 1997 and still to this day have never had a wave come over the ski like that biggest day out was 6-7ft you couldnt even see the next wave coming from the wave in front of it and even that day i didn't. I will admit I was taking it pretty easy that day trying not to soil my self lol.
 
Does anybody have some extra room on their boat for either 2 people or some of my provisions..? My MIL is worried we will be over loaded with 8 people and all our stuff.. I have limited everyone to a backpack full of their personal belongings and then our food/beverages.. I figure if I can offload a couple of bodies or a couple cases of beverages, I can lighten my load a few 100lbs and make her happy.
