So 150 x 20 boats is 3000 gallons? Holy cow! Times that by 7 lbs and that is 21,000 lbs of fuel in 6 days, lol

Bigger picture = $16,500 collected.......ugh

And the power still goes out 3 times a day! Lol

Both North and South Bimini only have one grade of gas that is non-ethanol. North Bimini tanks are above ground and I'm not sure about the tanks in South Bimini. I have refueled at both locations plenty of times without issue.

Today, North Bimini has gas for $4.19 per gallon and as @DieselCamel mentioned South Bimini is at $4.45, http://www.explorercharts.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=53

Here is a picture of the pump at North Bimini, Blue Water, and one of the silver fuel tanks behind the pump, this was taken during the 2011 trip. They also use the same tanks to provide fuel for the land based needs.

I know @DieselCamel @veedubtek rented a house on North Bimini but they are doing an extended stay in Bimini so they will already be there when you guys arrive. Also as you know @Andy S @JROD @1948Isaac @Ramblin Wreck and I are leaving early as well as we are going to the Exuma's first and meeting you guys in Bimini on Wednesday.

With 79 adults....is there a GPM average rum that's consumed??? LOL

@Bruce My buddy @Augusto David Rodriguez is going. He is currently unavailable but I'm tracking he is in 8. I asked his wife for the specific condo and as soon I get it I will let you know.

There is probably more rum than gas in Bimini.

Hey @swatski, 21R is the room we had on the 2013 trip. When I got back I was missing a sock. Could you look around for it while your there?

@sstegh Just saw your post - yeah, I will be sure to look for it for you!
I so hope you ARE talking about just a regular sock.

EDIT: I wish I made it up, here is a definition from urban dictionary. I'm actually rolling on the floor. LMFAO

Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to start organizing the groups for the crossing. Currently we have 36 boats registered for the trip. Fourteen have reported their condo booking. I know more are booked than that. If you are going please let me know your condo number or at least confirm that you have reservations. Thanks
