They have a very nice private beach and an amazing ocean view. Some of our best memories are staying in 21M.

We are there next year....unless the world ends!! LOL

Helping Wil achieve his goal we weren't sure what was going on with him.

For those of you that know us from the trip or local. Wil was sworn into the Army this week and leaves July 10th. He did amazing on his entry test and was given a nice signing bonus and offered any mechanical position in the Army so Wil chose Aircraft Electrician. He will attend Boot Camp in Missouri, Ft. Leonard and then attend school at Ft. Eustis, Norfolk Va...not far from home!

@Bruce and gang - do we have a list of potential ferry-crossers? Do you have an opinion on how convenient/reliable would that be, if it's a viable option at all? Any chance there is a larger (substantially larger) boat crossing along that might take an extra female passenger (for a fee of course).

I'm leaning towards exploring various option for Kate. She does not want to fly a small plane, so looking for a boating solution without complicating things.

This crossing business has a way to affect marriages? or so I hear, lol.

FYI: The 3pm flight with silver airways seems to have 7 passengers from the group. One of them a former psychiatrist with a fear of flying. 2 very unrully kids and Korea chick who will be asking non stop questions. Maybe they can keep her distracted The 20 minutes of flight time ???

I may be able to help...

@tim h, is the closest to a substantially larger boat that may be crossing with us.

The Ferry would take Kate to Resorts World. You would need to boat up there to get her. The biggest complication that I see is getting her from Fort Lauderdale to Miami for the ferry ride.

As @Betik said, his family and @Amar Nanduri's are flying over. Having Kate join their families would be my preferred route to getting her off of your boat. Hopefully they can all have a late breakfast at Bahia Mar, which is very good by the way, then share transport to the airport. We will need to arrange transport from the South Bimini Airport to Bimini Sands once we are there.

Pretty sure my buddy told me 99$ both ways / person.

That's not bad at all. My price was a charter through Miami Chopper.

Hmmm... that's a hose job, lol. I'll get u tickets from base next time, jus ask Miami is definitely a city in which u always ask for the hookup. Lol

Ex. I'm getting my scuba cert on the 23rd for 10 bones

@swatski last year @veedubtek flew over on a Seaplane that landed in the Bimini Channel I think that would be a cool experience once at least. Even better yet go ahead and book that for her tell her you got her a wonderfully charter plane out of Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport and don't tell her it's a Seaplane I bet her excitement once she arrived in Bimini could do wonders for a marriage.

Could you find the name of this helicopter service? It could be useful for future trips.
