I'm glad no one had an inReach back in 2011 when I led the way with my handheld (1" black and white screen) gps. I bet our track was a big zigzag.

In my experience with the seaweed from the June trip, just clearing it out through the access ports is not enough. A lot of it gets hung up on the intake grates as well and needs to be manually removed from under the boat. We stopped and cleared several times on the way over and on the way back. My daughter went under the boat in Bimini and still pulled two large handfuls out of the intakes. Once on the trailer in Florida after coming back, I pulled another couple of good handfuls off the intake grates as well. This, as I said, was after having stopped to clear weeds from the impellers several times.

Just saying, double check your intake grates if you haven't already done so. You may be surprised at what you find.

I don't see any storms in the area....so post up your theories on why he went north.....

  1. Whole crew lost their glasses overboard instead of just Bruce
  2. Hat blew off a ferry passenger and he picked it up and is returning it

Luna Beach is my joke reason though I really would have stopped but if we are guessing real reasons I'm guessing following or looking for dolphins.

@Julian #2 Hat blew off has to be the only logical reason, it is @Bruce afterall.

  6. He ran out of fuel and drifted north ;)
  7. He's messing with our minds
  8. He drives his boat like a motorcyle and suffers from Target fixation?
  9. He was thinking of the jet boat jumping the island video and thought he'd hit upon a faster way to the Big Game Club!
