That would be awesome! At Bimini Sands? I could use a guide as it will be our first time over as well.

I wish my wife could be sick on Friday but new job and she won't call in.

The wave forecast trend approaching Labor Day looks pretty good. What I am seeing is 2' to 3' for the 29th and 30th trending down to 1' by the 1st. The question is when it will trend back up.

What dates are you guys looking at?

Hoping 1-5. Realistically 2-5. We're not leaving NC until Wednesday evening. 7pm likely, but maybe as late as 11pm. 12-13 hr haul won't leave much time to cross Thursday, unless we can iron-man the drive. Which is the plan. But we're also not as young as we once were...

Where you staying @2nazt ?

I'm think Sands I will call tomorrow to ask as I was trying to wait on weather forecast so I don't pay money and not use it.

The Sands is good in that they'll at least hold your deposit a year (actually longer) for a later time. Dirk made a deposit in May? 2014, for the June trip, and we ended up using it in July 2015. We actually don't have anything lined up yet, but hoping to have it hammered down tomorrow.

Cool let me know if you find a good deal! Are you launching from the same marina as the group did this year (Harbour Town)

I am looked 3-5 and I think @veedubtek and @DieselCamel are looking 1-5 September
Windfinder is the wave data source that I trust the least but the only source I have for a 10 day forecast. They are showing 1.1' for Port Everglades and 1.0' for Bimini the morning of the third.

If you can cross with Dirk and Walt I would highly recommend doing so. The forecast for the first is just as good, more certain, there is safety in numbers and they have experience combined with a very capable boat.
