If you leave tonight, call me and I will go with you so you dont have to drive alone. We can share driving.
469 500 0812
Call me anytime

@Bruce @Glen I just received a call from @Betik . We plan to wake up early morning at 6 am and launch my boat from Harbor Bay Marina. Once we park my boat in Bahia Mar we will bring my trailer asap to Daytona. Do let us know if you need anything else @Glen and rest assured we will handle it.

 

[Betik]

6am at the lobby it is then.
Pleas call me if I am more than 2 minutes late. LOL

 

[Bruce]

@ACrews, do you know any truck shops north of Daytona that could cut off a spindle and weld a new one on?

 

[Glen]

OK, you all are straight up crazy...awesome!

The calls, text, FB messages have been nearly overwhelming.

Just got the family down to sleep.

John (@Majorsmackdown) and @Amar Nanduri are launching Amar's boat now. (Too long to explain now why, we'll save the full story for the Infinity pool on Mon night.

John is jumping in his truck, with his trailer to come here.

6-7 AM tomorrow, limp my 3 wheeled trailer to closest ramp (5 miles) and swap boat to healthy trailer.

Bring broken trailer to Ft Lauderdale for repair while we all are in Paradise!!! (Bring back on 2 axel, empty)

Figure out all the small stuff in Ft Lauderdale tomorrow. It's all easy.

John/Amar, you are awesome.

@Betik, @Water Girl @Kevin Sargent @ACrews @Bruce REALLY appreciate your leaning into being part of the solution, and helping us.

Yes, I hit something
Yes, I was distracted
Yes, I more deeply appreciate this group, and you all, because of it.

"Hi, my name is Glen, I don't accept help easily,..., but I am working out it!

Thank you!!!

Ha that's mine...

 

[Rainmakr]

Wishing everyone a safe crossing tomorrow. Remember to take plenty of pictures and video for those that couldn't make the trip this year!

 

[Betik]

@Majorsmackdown. My wife loves you. LOL. Me on the other hand, not so much.

Have a safe trip

@Eric Ballard Unfortunately my boat is about six years more vintage than that one.

That means you have a thicker hull!

Where and when is the captains meeting?

 

[Bruce]

Where and when is the captains meeting?

6 PM, Bahia Mar. Likely on the first floor of the Marina (hotel) Building or if the pool is not crazy outside by the pool.

Happy Birthday @MrMoose! What a fine time and place to have a birthday.

Tomorrow you can celebrate with a few hours of pounding waves followed by a well deserved rum ration.

 

[Glen]

Local input?
Or someone whose not driving-

Any input on trailer repair in Ft Lauderdale?

Looking to drop off today and retrieve (repaired) when back.

 

[Betik]

@MrMoose was celebrating his birthday at the Bravo docks yesterday late afternoon. No pressure at all when backing up and the dock master is looking at you while Mrmouse is yelling " you can do it Betik"

I only hit the post once though

 

[MrMoose]

Hey all. I just found out last night that Bahia Mar will be doubling some of us up in our slips. Their logic is to be able to keep us all together. This morning, I spoke with the dock master about this not being communicated at time of negotiations, nor at time of reservation, nor at time of checkin/slip assignment.
So moving forward, for those who are arriving today, the office "should" tell you whether you are doubled-up or not. If you would prefer to have your own slip, let them know and they will see if they can find you a spot on another dock (not with the jetboats). At least this way, you have a choice. @Bimini
