Could Bimini 2015 be the largest gathering ???

[OperationROL]

I would have no problem creating a convoy @OperationROL. We only live a half hour south of you. It will make the drive down slightly easier.

We'll work on it for next year!

I hope you guys haven't created a riff between Neil and Andrea! I feel your pain @OperationROL @OperationROL's Wife ... @Bruce put that pressure on me too! All I got out of Clara was that "deer in the headlights" look...and that ain't good. It's time off that we can't get and we don't recover from anything as fast as we used to, so we need 3 days to drive each way! We will do Lake Powell in the fall in coach comfort, and still take at least 2 days if not 3 each way. Bruce suggested having a service or freight the boat to Ft. Lauderdale, and fly down. I can't imagine the cost and logistics to get it flushed and rinsed prior to shipping home, not having a trailer with me. But those type of expenses are not out of the question. I am seeing a good many expenses that I would have thought I wouldn't have any part of, that are just the norm with RVers. A setup to tow a vehicle behind it is about $3500. I have about $800 of that already installed. You can't do everything at the same time, and we would like to do a trip like Bimini at some point. Hope you all have smooth sailing, following seas, and cold beverages!

A quote I constantly use in my house. However, I choose to go with this:

Yeah, Bruce is bad. I can hear him saying, "You gotta do it. Everyone's doin' it! You just aint cool if you don't do it!" Lol!

Neil, you can pick me up on the way to Florida!

@txav8r, @OperationROL, Bimini is addictive. Once you go you will understand.

I wish I had taken the family in 2013.

Although I may be hooked and a little pushy to get my friends to come So why don't you guys come to Bimini this year and hang out with the cool members

I believe you. That's how I am about the Shelbyville gathering. I am hooked, but that is just 4 hours away. The good news is @OperationROL's Wife is really considering it for 2016!

I could easily add another 10+ skis to this trip if you guys wanted to bump the number of people going. If I posted this trip the on the pwc forum I go on there would be tremendous interest. That forum had over 45,000 members and averages over 1000 people online at anytime. I just didn't want to post it over there with out permission or giving time for everyone from here to get booked first.

At this point everyone here should have had plenty of time to make their reservations. In my opinion I would post it over there, the more the merrier.

I so want to do this, but it's about as far away from here (Seattle) as you can get and still be in the US! 3288 miles is a long way to tow your boat!

Yes it is...but think of the journey...not the destination .

Isn't that backwards? Shouldn't he focus on the destination...not the long journey to get there.

 

[ArmyChief]

Personally I look forward to BOTH

I've already started designing the 50 cal tripod mount for my AR192 got the Cuba trip

Side mount MK-19 on jet ski will be fast area cover just in case. ;-)

 

[JROD]

Those waters are now considered safe, right?

Definitely in for Cuba trip on jet ski! HOOAH!

I am interested in going on the Bimini 2016 trip. Any idea when the dates and plans become final so I can begin to plan a vacationing schedule around it and decide if it's a family style trip or a boys only kinda trip? After the video's and chat about various trips, I am super stoked about going!

 

[robert843]

@shane hric last year dates were set in mid January I would expect the same this trip as well.
