JetBoaters.net Bimini Fling July 10th to 15th 2017

This looks like an awesome trip! Im looking at getting a jetboat in the near future. Due to storage space and towing capacity, I am looking at the 19 foot boats. Would this size boat be safe to make the trip? Thanks!
I can make this trip with only a jetski which has minimal storage. Theres a washer and dryer in the condo. Most important items for me are a snorkel, mask and old cooler for the squid to feed the sting rays and sharks ay honeymoon harbor ;) and an extra pair of flip flops, somehow my only pair went missing on my first trip. I had to walk barefoot into town and pay a small fortune for a pair that would cost $1.00 here:eek:

Plan to stay up late for the fireworks, when we were there for the 2015 independence celebration the fireworks didn't go off until almost midnight.

Welcome Aboard, there is plenty of time left to sign up. All the info is in the first two posts of this thread.
 
Outstanding! All I gotta do now is convince the wife to come along... We've only ever had the boat on Lake Lanier.
 
Yes @Barbani, there is plenty of time left. The first two posts in this thread have all the directions.

We should have some room on my boat if you need someone to haul some stuff for you.
 
You guys are so awesome to offer to carry stuff for me! Betik is gonna carry my cooler and I should be able to carry every thing else
Thank you so much for the offer!:winkingthumbsup":winkingthumbsup":winkingthumbsup"
 
I had not looked at the Weather till now but I'm wondering if they wont delay a day Saturday looks sporting right now but Sunday and Monday look pretty good.
 
Saturday is up from 2 footers a couple of days ago to close to 3' in the morning now but improving through the day for Fort Lauderdale. Miami has a little better forecast. Friday looks rough!

Where are they crossing from? One of our members is going on Saturday as well. He plans to gather some intel on Bimini Sands.
 
I'm watching closely. Me and a buddy boat will decided tomorrow the plans for Saturday, Sunday or midday Saturday. I'll post up my InReach in this thread also. The forescast has changed quite drastically since Monday and Tuesday. A boat tried to go out Port Everglades in <2' forecasted and didn't even make it out the channel and came back. (In a 35' cruiser) he reported a solid 5' or more.
