I am lost at home right now. Have to find a way to keep busy.

Edit. What is the minimum boat size required for Exumas? Would a 30 footer work?
30 footer won't work. you need one of those 40 plus footer with 4 7-Marine 627 OB to be safe.

Any way I can get an additional map? Ours got somewhat damaged in the ride over and I wanted to be able to frame it.

You mean this one? You and Kate must think alike...

Working in Ft Lauderdale and Miami this week. We flew the kids home Monday. We will likely be the last to make it home from the Bimini trip. But that's not a bad thing as Wendy and I get a few days down time while here. Great to meet everyone one this trip! We had an awesome time!

We had an awesome crossing. Stopped for about 10 mid way for a swim. I always wanted to do that and I know @Glen did too. We ran upper 30's most of the way. Nothing new broke as far as I know. :)

Euphoria : The Feeling you get when you wash your boat all evening and then sit down and have a mango rum and coke and reminisce on last week adventures.

Here's Cheers to the Bimini Boaters....

I'll hand it to you all, you're much braver than I. I have seen too much happen at sea to larger crafts that will not allow myself to embarque on that trek in a 23' vessel. As you crossers well know, its a piece of cake when conditions are perfect but toss in a malfunction in the Stream or bad weather and you are rolling the dice.

Well. We did not think of health insurance when we were embarking on this adventure :p

I most definitely should have upped my health insurance!!! And mid way through the crossing I was thinking I should of upped my life insurance too ;)
I'm still hurting! And my ankles still swollen ! I need a vacation!
