Post em up here so we don't clutter up the good info thread. I'll start throwing mine up when I'm on wifi.

I was luckily not assumed to be the event photographer. So, here are a few drunken snaps from my phone.

Here is one of the videos of @Rana swimming with the dolphins. Due to limited shopping options in Bimini she had to settle for swimming with dolphins, rum and lobster from the nicest restaurant on the island for her birthday.

Here are links to some of our Bimini trip pics and videos. Please, pardon the quality, we are generally not big on filming ourselves, LOL. And since I was doing virtually all of the driving, wife was not happy whenever I tried to handle the boat and the iphone at the same time...:D

These are two "slide show" compilations, I aimed at about 8 min total (which is about my attention span for watching vacation material).

Here are the pics:

And a video (it is a bit dolphin heavy, but that was the highlight of the trip, no doubt!):

Here's a short (ish) video of our first two days. 1 day of pre-crossing, and the day of the crossing to Bimini. You can see @SFThoen in the background during the crossing. Sorry @ThatJeepGuy , but you were barely in view during most of my footage, so you ended up on the editing floor.
The music is safe to listen to. No Lonely Island in this video.
Enjoy.

Call me evil but I really enjoyed watching your ole man suffer a little :env:, especially with Ozzy mixed in. Also, loved hearing the jets come out of the water. You don't get it hear that everyday on the lake. Good Stuff @MrMoose

@robert843 About the mangroves... Mostly boating in 1-1.5 ft...
Yes, @chris24 has the biggest conjones, I could not believe we actually survived and got out at the end, unscathed. It was fun!
I really could not shoot any videos as I had to be 110% focused on driving, very touch-and-go. We were literally squeezing through the mangroves at several points, Chris was able to put down his bimini, but I was collecting leaves (and shaving off whole branches with my tower speakers) in my cockpit :D.
