Shouldn't be a problem, it's just tropical depression it should die down by the time it gets to Bahamas. It'll meet lots of dry air on the way there.
Safe travel to all on the road God bless.

@DiverB this is Swatski's wife, Kate. I have PADI Advanced Open Water Cert and equipment. I am interested in diving. Are you planning any night dives? I will go as much as you are willing to have me.

Know that our Squiddly friend @Kevin Sargent is up for diving-
I'm certified as well and have done 30+ dives...all off remote Pacific Islands, in the mid-90's (USMC).

I'm planning to leave from NY tomorrow at 4AM down I95. I will be on the lookout for any Yamaha jet boats heading that way as well. I plan to drive straight to Orlando to stay with family then continue to Ft Lauderdale on Saturday. I have a Bahia Mar slip reserved for 7/8 - 7/10 so I plan to explore the waters of the ICW...

Grew up in NY. LI specifically. Northport/Huntington, more specifically-
We are planning on departing from VA parts south of DC mid-afternoon on Friday and stopping around Savannah, GA-
Splash on Sat afternoon, and go play a bit before heading to hotel.
Hotel is North on ICW from launch spot. See some sandy beaches and parks just South on ICW...

See you on the road or ICW brother-

Glen

Bimini Sands says that as in the past there is no additional charge for using a credit card for fuel.

 

[Majorsmackdown]

I couldn't find one. Gave up already. Thanks for the help. I'm gonna go naked. You've been warned.

If you find a place to buy it we can install it, it is a 2 hour job. We only need a drillbit, screw driver and hammer.
Make sure you chose the correct one in terms of having the snaps installed or unistalled.

 

[Majorsmackdown]

@hobineros

The clipboard that the dock master uses doesn't have a credit card reader on it...

Cash is king over there.

I suppose you could go in the office and use your card.

I billed my gas to my room last year

I billed my gas to my room last year

This year the condo management, marina management and I believe fuel dock are all different companies.
