Some of you who have been on this site for several years may remember that @Andy S @1948Isaac @Ramblin Wreck @JROD and I did a trip to Exuma back in 2016. We had such an incredible experience we have decided to do it again. This time @Ramblin Wreck and @JROD were unable to make it and will be truly missed. The plan right now is to Depart Saturday June 15th from Ft Lauderdale and head to Nassau and there we will pick up several additional crew members and then continue to head head down to Staniel Cay on Sunday and we will use that as a home base till we return on Saturday June 22nd. I wanted to give you guys a chance to follow along I will post my tracking link below it should go active early Saturday morning unless we get pushed up to a Friday launch due to weather. I also hope to update this thread with Photos through out the week.

Exuma 2019

If will be something like the below. Going to Bimini then Chub Cay and will finish the first day in Nassau and the next morning we will work our way down the Exuma chain to Staniel Cay making a few stops on the way.

Damn it, man. I’m so envious, I pressed “GO” in your attachment pic.

 
It hurts the soul a little not being able to join you guys this year. Going to be the first summer without a Bahamas crossing in quite sometime. I’m looking forward to tracking and following the pics and videos. I can’t wait to hear Vickie’s opinion of the Exumas. It truely is a special trip. I hope y’all have a week worth of calm water. Enjoy it!

There still always time to book flights and jump on a boat ;)
 
Have a great trip guys, I will be following along online. Please post lots of pictures!
 
Appears they might be running toward a storm. Hopefully they beat it to Nassau.
 
Made it to Nassau.
Looks like it was a pretty decent ride, long day though!
 
Lol we did not beat it
I thought yall left trying to beat it out. Otherwise, it looked like it wasn't going to clear out until well after 7:00 limiting your daylight. Was it just rain or lightening? Glad you guys made your destination.
