Well, here is the official thread for our trip.
About a year ago, I made friends with another GH member (zupafast) here talking about RAM mounts and we lightly discussed doing a Miami to Bimini trip.
One thing led to another and we were knee deep in plans.
In total we have 9 people going
My wife Rebecca and myself -- Lake Charles, LA area --2016 Yamaha FX SVHO
Tim (zapufast) and his wife April -- Pensacola Area -- 2015 Yamaha FX SVHO
Troy (Unleashed Beast) -- Pensacola Area -- 2015 Kawasaki Ultra 310
Kevin and his wife Alison -- Pensacola Area -- 2016 Yamaha FX HO
Forrest and fiance' Cacee -- Pensacola Area -- 22' Blazer Bay Boat
Initially we had planned to go from Miami to Exhumas over the course of a week. We were pretty far along in the plans and then after a suggestion of a friend that had been to the Exhumas and to the Abacos Islands...we changed our destination to Treasure Cay which is in the Abacos Islands, Bahamas. A little more populated and overall because of the housing we chose, our trip costs are less.
We are launching from West Palm Beach, Florida at Phil Foster Park. Parking for the week here was very affordable.
We are launching on Saturday June 11th and returning on Saturday June 18th.
We rented a house that sleeps 10 for the week. It has its own dock, so that saved us quite a bit in dock fees, because we can use this one for free. After said and done it will only cost us $200 a person for a whole week. Excellent value!!
We will be filming this pretty extensively. All of us have at least one action cam (some of us have two or more) and two people will be bringing Phantom 4's for arial footage. We hope to put together a great must see video of our journey.
Everyone has auxillary fuel in some sort of capacity. I'll let each person explain their own setup if they so choose.
Tim will have a SPOT and we will post a link here for those that want to follow our progress online.
Rebecca, Alison and April are flying from West Palm Beach to Treasure Cay. Its an hour flight and ultimately was more cost effective than riding 2-up and burning extra fuel, or using a second ski. Also kept them from getting beat up on such a long ride.
There is a TON more info in regards to a rigging system Tim came up with for our skis, immigration short cuts and other stuff; but this will get the discussion going.
