Anywhere.... i have 2 jet skis coming with me and hopefully another boat they just confirmed today, the more people the betterI did the crossing alone and let's just say there is a lot of blue water!!!! Depth finder on my boat and gps went "22 feet 44 feet 69 feet 107 feet 233 feet 344 feet and then 400 blinked until I got close to Bimini... but wanting to go again, I am doing the trip with this jet ski group on here and may do one with a face book scarab group but they are not giving me all the details... for some reason..
27-29? You only want to stay for two days? If it was longer I could possibly make it.hello everyone.....
looking for anyone going to Bimini on June 27th to the 29th never been there trying to make the crossing for the first time
@Tony C. - Is the 21st still your planned launch day?Thanks for the info Bruce. I will adjust accordingly.
Look to launch, like Wed. The 21st.
Where do you leave from? I'd love to take the family but the organized week long excursion doesn't work with our schedules. Your time frame sounds just right.My wife and I are going June 24th - 28th
Mark - I run out of Black Point all the time -- If you want to do that trip again last minute let me know -- I'll load the old lady and dip the boat and meet you at the end of that ridiculously long channel.

Ps watch out for the police, litterally the other weekend was a shit show! I do dry stack... but they were ticketing everyone for the dumbest things!Mark - I run out of Black Point all the time -- If you want to do that trip again last minute let me know -- I'll load the old lady and dip the boat and meet you at the end of that ridiculously long channel.

PS we went out that weekend -- it was super flat I ran all over the place with the Throttle's maxed. very fun. lol.
Haulover ramp@MarkEnMiami Do you know of a good place to leave my truck and trailer for Bimini trip ?
This past memorial day weekend was a shitshow bro... I got there at 0800 and the ramp was slammed and closed. Left the next morning, Sunday at 0600. SLAMMED again. Wonder why the county cant invest in a bigger parking lot. Not like they don't get 17 dollars a pop to sit on a freaking 8x20' chunk of pavement for maybe 8 hours. Cheap a$$hats.Ps watch out for the police, litterally the other weekend was a shit show! I do dry stack... but they were ticketing everyone for the dumbest things!
Are you and your wife still planning this trip? My boyfriend and I are wanting to go on the jet skis and are looking to go with some others but the other group in July is too large!@Bennie We are going to leave from Miami. We have never been and we are very excited about the trip.
There is safety in numbers and even more in experience. We will be splitting the July group up into groups of less than 10 for the actual crossing. Please remember that as amazing as Bimini is it is not worth becoming one of the people who die on the crossing.looking to go with some others but the other group in July is too large!
