So dates are all over the place!
There is a facebook crossing group going the 5th-8th.
We are not booked for anything yet but are planning to go. Wife is getting a promotion/new responsibilities and we are seeing how that pans out. May be the end of her side business which frees up most of the summer. Usually sheswamped with graduation parties. Daughter graduates 8th grade on the 3rd. 24 hour drive for us.

Still no date set for us. Waiting on my better half to make a decision. @Speedling youll probably spend more on gas getting the boat back and forth than on the rest of the vacation, I know I did when we trailered that far.

Anyone planning a Bimini trip in 2025? We’re planning on heading back over there and would like to get a group together.

Hey, finally jumped back on here after a little while. Bimini’s probably out for us this year. Honestly if it was up to me I’d like our next trip to be the Abacos but a Bahamas trip seems unlikely as a whole this year.

Still waiting on my wife to pick the week she wants to go. I’m in no hurry to make plans, just sitting back watching others make plans and getting everything we need to get done before making the trip again.

I hear you. The boat's been perched in the high and dry for an unreasonably long time honestly, but life's got a way of taking you for a ride (good or bad) sometimes. Best part about it though is I'd feel confident that the boat could handle a trip next week if we wanted to.

Do you have a prep list that you care to share?

This thread is what I used and I also watched a few jetboaters u tube videos on the crossing. I also read a lot of different threads on this forum about crossing and how each year was and what to expect.

Thread 'Preparing for Bimini'

Also...would it be possible to get a separate thread with a checklist, and tips sticky'd in this forum for Bimini? Bimini has a lot of special requirements (both equipment, and procedures).

@Charles attached is a document I've put together with a bunch of useful information. @Bruce @Charles has a good idea, could there be a thread stuck to the top of the Gathering section that will hold just the Bimini information. I would be more than happy to help fill the thread with information.
