I'm not sure about the boat rental. My wife and daughter flew in to Bimini last year, and there were shuttle vans there waiting. I think it was only a 5 minute ride.

Im so glad to hear everyone got there safely. I just finished reading up and wow is all i can say. I had spoken to Bruce the night before they left and i was a bit concerned. Reading all posts is better than any short story or novel, thats for sure. I will be guiding a group over on friday if any one needs anything. we are planning on leaving from haulover marina. As it looks like majority of the wave activity will be comming from the north. That invest 94-L depression is pushing clouds and winds through. I hope it doesnt affect us as much as this groups crossing.

@Ramblin Wreck and @1948Isaac are crossing on Wednesday if you need any parts to help with the repair I would try and get a hold of them @tim h

I sent a PM.
Just got it apart to measure the length bolts I need.
Thanks !

Remember folks still have to return. Keep a close on the forecast. There are many problems lurking around:

I see some jetboats. Lol

This sign at work caught my attention yesterday...Glad no one was seriously hurt.
@Bill D bummer about your boat. Hopefully you manage to still have an awesome time. I also hope you can get it fixed up in time for Shelbyville, if not, I'm sure there will be plenty of boat space for you and Nicole to get out on the water.

 

[hobineros]

If they were in 4-6 foot seas that is extremely worse then 2015 we didn't see anything anywhere close to that in 2015. 2015 was only 2-3ft with maybe an occasional 4 footer thrown in.

Was every bit of 4'.

Glad everyone is OK!!!

 

[flyingnugget]

Whats the plan for today? Is the potluck still a go

@Drift Away .... you crack me up!

Considering what happened to you, you by far have the most perfect and appropriate Screen name

Enjoy your time over there brother

 

[upperdeck]

@tim h get that boat fixed up! I hope our trip to KW in a few weeks is far less sporting!

 

[kthrash]

So what kind of tower broke? one of the older aluminum ones or one of the newer forward swept ones?

Freakin' beautiful!

I'm sitting here at work with a mammoth sized pile of useless, mind numbing design crap to do and then I see images like that and I just want to turn off the lights in my office, crawl under my desk and sob like a little girl. So jealous right now!! I bet those who went are living it up and recovering from the crossing yesterday. Enjoy it y'all and drink one for me!

 

[Alex&Elena]

We should be in Bimini around 4pm today
BIG THANK YOU !!!! To everyone's effort to help and your comforting responses

 

[biminibrad]

The entire group is down at honey moon harbor today. Dj at pool tomm. 4-10, bondfire at 9 p.m., shark lab and marina life tours this week.

Crazy events and glad that everyone seems accounted for. Need to hear more on @swatski and he should be kept under close watch for concussion if he really got whacked unconscious?

I was suppose to play tpc sawgrass and the lightning kept us from playing. Can't believe this is the same weather that everyone crossed in. No golf or boating in that storm! Again, glad everyone is safe and I am very jealous. Hope to do this next year
