@Mainah and @Berrie expect 3 more boats for Saturday crossing. @Water Girl minions are en route. If all goes well we will rendezvous on Saturday by 8am. Will update you again tomorrow
 
Anyone gets at Harbour Towne marina please report on the parking status
 
Quite the chaos in this event!!!! Hope it all works out for everyone. Might need to do a roll call for who is still in and when they are crossing!
 
We need to keep an eye on the return forecast as it emerges. SailFlow is the only forecaster to show these extreme conditions. Hopefully if they are real they will dissipate before Saturday.

Now this is something to watch! Only being from one source its not a trip ending forecast yet but would definitely raise come concerns.
 
I’m still on for Sunday morning crossing. Forecasts are still fluid but seem to be calming a bit Sunday morning.

This mornings Sailflow forecast has changed for the end of the week and is now better and closer inline with Windfinder. Hoping the forecasts keep getting better for everyone's crossing.
 
Our group is departing Atlanta GA, tomorrow morning @ 5am. We'll push straight through toe get to the marina by that afternoon; for Sundays departure. Do we have a list of who is departing on which days?
 
Man, I sure hope the others new members on this trip have checked the forum. Do y'all have contact info for them just in case they haven't? I'd hate for them to drive all the way to FL only to find out the crossing window is still up in the air for some and rooms at BS might not be there for them

I am not aware of anyone with experience who is planning to cross on Sunday.
 
@haknslash, my understanding is that everyone who has not cancelled has a condo.

That seems to be the case? Is the majority heading out tomorrow or Tuesday or both?

Most that are responding on the forum seem to be crossing on Saturday which has the best forecast.

Sunday’s forecast has gotten a little better.

My family is still planning for Tuesday.

Of our previous group leaders, @Water Girl ’s boat is crossing on Saturday but she has to work today so she is likely ferrying or flying to Bimini and @Kevin Sargent is undecided if he is going.

I also have to work today putting a Saturday crossing out of my reach.

For those that want to cross on Saturday following @Berrie is an excellent option. He is experienced and his large boat is well equipped. Additionally I believe that @Betik will be in that Saturday crossing on @Water Girl’s boat.
