One small suggestion is to show the shark as Jaws ( a tribute to Jaws movie that scared the shit out of me when I was a small kid ).

@Julian any update on these shirts ?

 

[Julian]

We wanted to be sure the official trip shirt sales were all completed before we opened these up.....so stay tuned as Island Jay is going to be handling all the orders and will also have some Jetboaters shirts available. Island Jay is also offering a discount code for all members to get a discount on all our shirts AND all the Island Jay merchandise too!! They have some cool beach and boat themed apparel. This should go live on Wed evening (our target). On top of the 10% discount they are also looking at free shipping too!

Check out Island Jay in the meantime!

Shirts will be available in a variety of colors, in men's, women's & kids sizes, short and long sleeve and in performance fabric.

This is a lot of SKUs....the landing page is up and some are loaded....with the 10% discount for all members we will put a banner up once it is ready. Just waiting for the all the shirt style image files!

I ordered my shirts today. I only got the 2017 one. I did not feel 2018 qualified for " Survived".

You survived the huge mats of sargasso weeds.....and the dangers that lurk beneath them!

I am editing videos right now and it looks like we were are war with the sargasso weed LOL

In regard to the dangers beneath them, I would rather not know what was down there

Just mahi and baitfish, from what @Julian 's awesome brother Al was telling us. Maybe more that he didn't tell us so as not to scare us, lol.

Guys, I created a short video with footage from 2014 to 2016 crossings so you can see what the conditions might be like. My family did not return with the group in 2015. I understand the group had a slightly rough return that year. After extending our stay by six days we picked a calm day to return and had flat seas.

If you listen to the audio and look around our boat you will see that our comfort levels and positioning of cargo in the boat changed greately after 2015.

Please remember that our boat has trim tabs lessening the bow rise and the slap afterward compared to other boats in the group.

I updated the video to include a short clip from our 2015 return crossing and 2016's arrival in Bimini.

looks like I`ll never be able to do that, my back would go out about half way..lol

From what I’ve heard, many are waiting for after the election.

Yes. Always look in the gathering forum: https://jetboaters.net/forums/gatherings-trips.19/

I'm going to reply to this thread because its relevant...

I went to Bimini on a cruise and I was well prepared. wore my 2017Jetboaters Bimini Shirt and retraced our steps (though only on north island)

We left our mark at the Stuarts Conch Shack IN 2017


was pleased to see that sticker was still there, although partially hidden by a speaker


Me at the Bimini cruise port


after returning from 2017 trip, we sent few plates to be added to the dolphin house....we did not know if this was going to happen but Sir Ashley Saunders put all of them on the house!


The alabama manufacturer's plate was sent back in 2017 and I brought the SC plate on this trip. He immediately put it on the wall

Awesome!!!
