JetBoaters.net Bimini Fling July 9th to 14th 2018

If you guys are gonna be on the water I may head your way....let me know what day and where
gotta even out this peeling tan :cool:
Lol will do let me talk to my better half. We go out mostly on sat and recover on sunday.
 
Big Game is fine if you’re a small group of 4 or less, but those of us needing to accommodate more requires 2 rooms and at a a significantly higher cost.
 
For those changing departure dates, please don't forget to change your state-side arrangements as well, such as parking and slips.
 
I am if we can get accommodations. At this point we are island homeless...
I think sands may let us in a day early I’m not sure. If not could stay at resort world for night?
 
I am also interested in a Saturday crossing if we have an experienced leader.
 
I would but I see how you treat your engines.... LOL
FYI. I was getting 8.5 miles / gal gas pulling the sig270 back and forth from Dc to Ft Lauderdale on the F250. After a while I became numb to the gas bills :)
 
Is anyone at all considering Sunday cross?

For those who can't make a Saturday crossing I would reach out to @Water Girl about a Sunday crossing. I would not cancel over this forecast I really hate to say this but this really is about the typical forecast for this trip.
 
Did I read somewhere that the pool at Bimini sands was locked?
 
I would double check with Marci but it appears you might be good coming in on Sunday if you're still in 2B.

So far still in 2B
So that’s good.
I’ll be in Saturday evening so I can’t pull off a Saturday crossing. But I can most likely do Sunday. Show of hands for a Sunday cross? My phone is 267-918-7873 if you have an interest text me. So far I have two other boats that are interested.
Does anyone have a better app to watch the Sunday weather?
 
@watergirl, @jaburt, the forecasts are constantly changing however Sunday's forecasts appear similar to 2015 & 2017 with bigger waves and up to 15 mph wind forecast. The wind is scheduled to turn a little northernly in the afternoon. If the wind switches to northernly you will be repeating 2015 & 2107 but perhaps in bigger water.

Based on current forecasts I highly recommend either moving up to Saturday or waiting for Tuesday.
