Go ahead and tell the whole story Robert. When we left Treasure Cay on the journey back home Robert and I departed about 30 minutes ahead of the boats where we would then meet them at our first fuel stop around 35 miles north at Spanish Cay. Well as we were pulling out of the marina Robert realized he didn't have his life jacket. So his first 35 miles were a little lighter then the last 165 miles.

Oh hell I forgot about that but your wrong I forgot it at Spanish Cay as well. I almost departed West End with out it also but remembered last second and grabbed it from @1948Isaac boat right as we were pulling out of the channel. So yes this dumb ass travel 145 miles on the ocean with no life jacket.

Sounds like you need to store it like I do .... Each arm hole around a handlebar grip and buckle it. You'll never forget it then.

Hahaha. I didn't realize you didn't pick it up in Spanish. That would have been epic 200 miles across the ocean on a ski with no life jacket. Well I now know Vicky doesn't read this forum because if she did I don't think you would have made that confession.

Should have slept in the boat, I am sure it would have been quieter then my hotel room. People knocking on my door and yelling in the hallways till 1am.
