This was plan B! I think we're going back to plan A now. Big Carolina squat convention going on here, can't handle the stupid.

Learned something new. So is that to prevent lifted trucks headlights blinding you by simply pointing them to the sky?

I saw one of those last night on the road, wondering what the hell the purpose of that was. I guess that is the new cool in the truck world

 

[Majorsmackdown]

Or the latest in silly.

For the ones not going to Bimini as originally planned, what are you plans? We're going to Siesta Key, FL and hopefully make the trip to Bimini next year with the group. I learned my lesson this year. Be flexible with the dates. For the ones going out to Bimini tomorrow safe travels and enjoy your time in paradise.

Man I hear you. Its an amazing challenge to pull this off with folks coming from far and wide. I was lucky to have left early enough to make the new departure. I feel sad for those that couldn't and hope we can all get together at a future date. Have fun! Play hard and safe. (Who knows with the tempermental weather we or more of us may be trying to join you).

We are checked in at Sarasota for a couple of days. Going to try out Siesta Key. Wednesday heading to Key West to meet up with some friends for sailing. Hate missing Bimini but still going to be a fun vacation!

1 hour from the marina... quick stop at Publix first

 

[swatski]

@Rana thank you - answered my question.
We are going to head to the bas pro shop, publix, and then put the boat in the Harbour

 

[swatski]

What are the chances????!!!!

 

[rkgdmd]

Ok...not to be Debbie Downer here guys, but the weather forecast is not improving. First off, you're starting with NNE winds at 10 to 15. That itself is a big red flag. Seas are starting at 2 and building to 3 to 5 with an occasional 6!....and it doesn't say "by the afternoon" anymore. That doesn't include the slop you usually have getting out of the inlet. This is not a good forecast. Be careful please!

 

[veedubtek]

We should hit the Publix about 1:30. Fuel stop now.

Get on your VHF radios and hail somebody that has been offshore today. Switch off CH 16 and continue your conversation--- ask them the conditions out there.

[waterboy]

Looking at a couple more weather sources the data is all over the place. Yeah, be careful I. What you decide to do. Good suggestion to hail some locals to see what it is like
