JetBoaters.net Bimini Fling June 19 to 25 2016

They are moving at a pretty quick pace!

Everyone did great, the water was much rougher than the crossing to Bimini but after six days of boating everyone had adapted to rough sea conditions and handled the water without issue.

SemperFuxit: Marine Corps votes to exit Dept. of the Navy

AMF — Adios, Marine Forces! (US Navy photo.)
QUANTICO, Va. — In a move military analysts call “simply stunning,” the Marine Corps voted in a referendum Friday to leave the Department of the Navy, forming a separate branch tentatively named Men’s Department of the Navy. Defense contractor stocks closed sharply down in the wake of the historic vote.

The “Remain” camp fought for the Corps to stay with the Navy, citing the service’s amphibious traditions and the “need for a service to call worthless” while transporting them to battle, sources in Neller’s office say.

I had to do 'the reverse move' once, about 2/3 of the way across due to cavitation. Sucked Seaweed or bag or something.

15 seconds and we were up and planing again.

From this trip I've learned a new way to clear my jet. Simply power up and launch the entire boat out of the water. I believe it was the wind that was pulling the seaweed out. Worked every time....

Nurse sharks found in the marina... Fun to watch them up close... There were about six all swimming together when we caught a glimpse of them.
