Our dates have been selected!
This thread has been updated for the Bimini 2015 trip. It is important to notify me of your commitment to participate so that I can keep an accurate headcount. Please provide a contact cellular phone number, number of people on your boat, boat model/make. This personal information will only be shared by the few organizers of the event.
The dates have been changed to July to allow for a 15% discount/group rate that
@Bruce arranged for our group at Bimini Sands. We need 15 rooms/condos for the group rate.

PIGROAST
Last year we had a fabulous potluck/pigroast at honeymoon harbor. Everyone backed their boat up to the beach and put their spread on the swim decks. It was an awesome time and even included a couple of engagements!
@Bruce has already volunteered to supply the razorback ham!
Throw in with your menu, I'm already getting hungry!
