@bronze_10 Damn, you have a fast boat...or your tow rig/trailer got those #'s. LOL. All that buffing you did before the trip must have decreased the aerodynamic drag.;)

Stopped midway and me, Betik and @Valerie jumped in the ocean and enjoy the deep blue waters. @Betik kicked a$$ in getting the video of the crossing. I am sure we will have some amazing videos this time. Betik tstarted getting restless and wanted some excitement, so he was banned to sit on the front the last few miles. This should tell you about the crossing conditions.

Proof of speeds and cruising. We were that comfortable. The only excitement came from swimming in the ocean at mid point.

Damn! That orange JB shirt is very visible! LOL
You said ORANGE JB shirt? It would go well with my orange boat. How do I get one? Who is selling that swag? Not a hijack.

I don't know what everyone is saying about an easy crossing!!! I'm just gonna say i am glade i binge watched Deadliest Catch before this trip. Here is a small clip of the rough conditions we endured for approximately two whole hours!!!


@Eric Ballard you were right... there is no way your 19 footer would have made it!!
