[chris24]

the lady from Bahia Mar never responded to my reservation... did anyone get a feedback from her?

I talked to her on the phone , then sent in my reservation form for my slip yesterday and we emailed back and forth cuz I didn't fill it out correctly. I think her name was Stephanie.

 

[blacksapphirez]

yea sent her the reservation sheet and not a peep. maybe i will call tomorrow...

I believe no response is normal for Bahia Mar Yachting Center. We are tiny business for them.

I think I am loosing my mind, here. I know we got a discounted rate ( 15launch, 15 parking), but we need to make a reservation for Harbour Towne? Or they will always have truck/trailer space ?

@Betik, Harbour Towne does not take reservations. It's first come, first served.

Unfortunately no reservations and they are charging twice what they were 2 years ago.

I have a call scheduled 2 weeks before our trip to see if HarborTowne can block some space off for us.

Okay, so I am current on my reservations then
Now 3 more months to go.....

Goodness... that doesn't seem long!
I still need to book the slip, fix the floor over gas hatch, put the tower back on, oil change, test test test test etc.

If you plan on doing any mangrove runs with @chris24 you may want to leave that tower off. When it gets real tight, he just puts his 212SS bimini down and bolts through. I almost got stuck last year trying to keep up

Lol
No mangrove runs per se. I would love to check out the everglades a day quick while down there. Either before the trip if travels are good or after clearing customs. Everglades is one item on my bucket list!

@OUT ON THE REEF just published a great video showing how he prepares for his solo Bimini trips. I hope he will be able join us this year.

This is what is currently available at Bimini Sands

1 bedroom marina view – 7
1 bedroom ocean view – 1 (building 3 by the pool I believe)
1 bedroom with a loft marina view – 5
1 bedroom with a loft ocean view - 1 (building 21)
2 bedroom with a loft marina view – 1

So far 36 condos are booked by our group. Fifteen more and we will fill up Bimini Sands.

Great idea @Bruce !!!

@Speedling ... buy a new AR240, and cut your list in half.

Ya know, it's great that @OUT ON THE REEF shares his knowledge with the rest of us. The problem is that he makes me want to leave my family to pursue his adventures. If he doesn't join us this year in Bimini, I'm gonna buy myself a blue balaclava, a grey hat and some sunglasses and I'm gonna hang out at the infinity pool as an impersonator. It'll work as long as I keep my gut below the water level.

No, At least 2 and maybe 3 will be on the ferry...I am a little on the crazy side but not crazy enough to cross with 3 on a ski
