Exuma Bahamas Trip June 2016

[waterboy]

Safe travels guys. Made the wind be at your backs and the seas fair. Look forward to following the trip!!!

 

[Andy S]

We are almost all here at the Bahia Mar, @1948Isaac is on his way.

The Bahamas fling is taking over a big group
in the morning, putt goal is to beat them to Bimini and through customs.

Getting the last touches done on my protective gear. Would you ride with this guy?

Safe travels and love the faceshield. I don't go out on the water it!

Safe travels gentlemen. Hope to see you soon!

And Lady, Miss Cindy has decided to take her place at the helm of her boat which @Andy S claims.


Speaking of Miss Cindy, when is she getting a forum account?

 

[veedubtek]

Oh! I thought she was flying in. Didn't think she was all healed up yet. By all means, safe travels ladies and gentlemen!

That is correct Bruce, @Andy S's wife Cindy and @JROD's wife Trudy will now be joining for the full journey. They both forfeited already purchased plane tickets to enjoy the entire experience. @1948Isaac's wife and daughter will be on his boat for the full journey as well.

My wife and daughter decided a few days of water park at the Atlantis in Nassau and a possible massage would probably be more fitting for them

Well I will break the bad news as you may notice my name is not mentioned in that. Due to the current weather forecast last second the rest of the group as well as I voted for a Thursday launch instead of Friday. Well due to various factors I could not make the Thursday launch but I voted it for it as well knowing I may not be able to make it but knowing it was the best call for the group to keep the correct time frame and safety. I'm extremely disappointed I couldn't make it but do not regret the choice at all. I'm still going but I'm now flying into Nassau Friday and joining them there. I packed a tube and @Ramblin Wreck is going to tow me on the tube from Nassau down to Staniels Cay and then all the way back to Bimini Guinness Book of World Records here we come. Best of luck guys and gals look forward to seeing you guys on Friday and hate that I couldn't make it down.

Hell, yeah he's WAY better looking then the "before" photo. . . . .

@Andy S and @1948Isaac do you have a round about number of gallons of fuel burned start to finish for the trip?

Everyone seemed to quit counting if I remember correctly including the guys on the skis. Everyone seemed to put about 40 hours on their vessels so I'm guessing based on the numbers it was somewhere between 400-450 gallons is a pretty safe guess.

Thanks @robert843 i was going to guess 450 to be safe from seeing other burn rates etc and @Bruce post earlier from Navionics. Trying to make future plans and getting ideas for the money involved
