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.

The loop suggests that their crossing is getting interesting. They are so close but I hope they have enough fuel!

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.

it sure would seem to me trolling along at 11 to 15 knots all day would burn a
lot of fuel.
lot of fuel.

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.
