JetBoaters.net Bimini Fling June 19 to 25 2016

It is surprising how quickly and far it will move you. You certainly do not want to break down in the Gulf Stream.

This is from @tim2808's 2014 video

Unless you are a Patriots fan and want a free trip to New England!

Bimini is a long ride on a PWC.
 
At this point they are a heck of a lot closer to Bimini than they are to Miami.
 
Are you guys going to use an app like this when you guys cross so those of us who can't go can follow u?
I have one that I am going to take and I'll post a link to my track page before we go.
 
The loop suggests that their crossing is getting interesting. They are so close but I hope they have enough fuel!

Uh oh --- he has turned around and headed SW???

They have been on the water 4+ hours now I would but it was a fuel stop and the seas may have turned them around the have to be low on the stock fuel tanks by now 4 hours is about it on a PWC fuel tank and @Andy S and I can attest to that lol!
 
They sent a message that they were leaving port at 7:03am, they have been out there for over 4 hours now. I bet a cold beer is sounding really good to them about now.
 
Looks like he's circling back to help out somebody in the pack.
 
Well he has now done his longest stretch of straight line running without stopping. Either he ditched the rest of the crew or they are in the Lee of Bimini and the water is smoothing out finally. Hope it is the latter :)
 
His last tracking point is at 0 mph near the rocks at the entrance to North Bimini. Hopefully he is just waiting for the group to catch up.
