Here is part of my crew from last year pre-beach bash, on the backside of Honeymoon Harbor exploring. This's years crew is dropping like flies... I am in the middle (Dave) and my buddy Jeff is on the right. So far it is just the 2 of us that have made it this far for this years trip. I am close to adding a 3rd and maybe a 4th again for this year, after 2 others had to drop out... their loss !!!
 
Me (Walt) and my wife (Karie) are the center couple. On the right (our left in the pic) towering above everyone is Dirk and Angela who are traveling with us (dieselcamel)

When I talk about this trip and who is going on it, people are always amazed that we go on vacation with a group of people that we don't know or have known only through prior trips. So far we have always had a great group of people on this adventure and I see the trend continuing. I do know that the people I have meet and become friends with through this forum and on Bimini trips would be there if I needed them and of course I would be there for them.
 
Btw, I wholeheartedly agree with @andy07sx230ho and his post above. It's great to see friends previously made on these trips and look forward to making more!

Looks like a great rack on there for long trips...
Cooler, gas cans, dry bags etc.

Yes! Hard to securely carry anything without it, more so in any type of choppy seas, have lost a few things before I installed the rack. ;-)
It is mission essential for any type of extended trip.
