I know you were trying for a two bedroom. Have you asked about a one bed with a loft which is basically a two bedroom or even a one bed with a fold out couch?

I will try for 2 one bedrooms with lofts we have 8 in our group. I will call her right now. Weather is looking ok for our crossing on thursday, hopefully it gets better.

Well we had so much fun last time I figured why not again. These guys are leaving tomorrow morning and heading over to Treasure Cay in the Abacos. The will stop in West End in Grand Bahamas then make their way around to Treasure Cay over on the Abacos. They have four skis and a boat going 3 Yamaha FX's, Kawasaki Ultra 310R and a 22 foot Blazer Bay boat. I think their a little crazy taking the Blazer Bay as those are flats boats with 13 degrees of dead rise but to each their own heck I guess people say we are crazy for taking our boats. Below is the link to follow them they are leaving in the morning and returning Friday the 17th.

1 footers with 8 second periods make for a nice crossing!

When are they coming back?

They are coming back Friday doesn't look so hot on the return trip. Yeah they have great conditions thats good for them since the still have 156 miles to go today from west end to get to their destination but if those sea conditions hold up it should be no issue.

 

[robert843]

Well hope everything is ok for some reason the have completely changed direction and are making straight line towards land now. Almost looks like the have turned to head toward Grand Bahama.

My wife and I are doing the same tomorrow. We've already done all the oil change and maintenance now just for one quick run on some fresh water. We will also unload all unnecessary gear on the boat...... 8 days to go! Woo Hoo !!

Yeah they did close to 200 miles today thats a good day. We leave for the Exumas Friday morning and our first day will be a minimum of 153 miles kind of dreading it a little lol.

My girl is still in shop for GPS problems that arose on Charleston trip. Apparently an internal short in wiring harness from Garmin. Should be shipped soon, but at least it won't keep me from making the trip.
