The infinity pool is kiddos' heaven long after the adults are gone! The kids love it, they are making friends, play games, and learn from each other. Really fun to watch.

There were three Yamahas parked in front of Stuart's Conch Shack this afternoon:

Some use Mantus anchor that @wallacerb just drops in water where he wants his boat - and he can tell you where to buy one:

I love this pic of @Drift Away Mom!
You can see a "conch shell dune" in the background.

@LOZBum A little jetboating gossip while blocking 4 other cars at the Florida turnpike.

PS. 900 miles and kids are still in bed.

And one of the amp pulled out . Other than that i think shes ok. As far as Bimini 2018.... ask me after i heal up lol.
 
Great pictures everyone. Looks like a helluva good time. Seems the brotherhood and super friendliness of internet forums isn't just kept to the car guys!

Gotta say I was really considering this trip. After seeing @swatski have such a rough time I'm not sure it's for me. Was cool to see a FSH made the trip safe and sound though, means mine SHOULD be able to make it!
 
The return trip videos as shot from my boat. I will keep updating this post with videos bandwidth permitting.
