Bahama Poker run
 

Has any members on this board been on this run. I was talking with a member yesterday and I was told it was a hit or miss. That's why it is held in June or July, which was the calmest time of the year to go. Is it not only 2 hours from Miami, and how bad has it gotten, any worse than coming back from KW in Nov...3-5's occasional 6-7 hole's...Is it a fun run even though there appears to be way less boats, is it worth it or should I be looking at another Florida Powerboat run. Thanks Jeff

Take me and I'll be your fuel b i t c h-haha!:D I won't steal anything either!

I'ts a great run, nothing like it. It's my favorite. It can get nasty however, and there is no shortcut or refuge. I've done it 3 times so far, once in my Cig, twice in my Cranchi, hope to go this year again. So out of 6 crossings 4 were perfect, 2 less than perfect but certainly no worse than a few of the KW trips I've taken.

Yea I've done it with a 20 mph NE Wind - never again!

Hi Jeff,
It's beautiful once you get there. It can be horrible crossing over. The last 2 times I went, I made it about 15 miles offshore, turned around and flew over. Once your there if it gets crappy out, your stuck until it clears up!

Hi Jeff i am in S. Fla its been blowing here 4 days now, glad we dont need to have the boat out, should be nice this weekend

Jeff I have done it twice in a 32 Sunsation with FPC. You will have absolutely no trouble running over in a 43 NT. Do the run, you will love it. It is shorter than a 2 hour run if the seas are calm, it is only about 50 miles.

Thanks for the comments..just want to try one different trip this year...I hear its mandatory that the girls go down topless, in that case, Joker, you'll be drivin Mr. Jeff.:D

you are going to j-ville thats a great one:D

We are thinking about doing it as well...

It is on my wish list, gotta see how $ is...Maybe if I ask David he'll pay the balance and fund the trip:hitfan::D

Hi Jeff,
Why dont you come up here brother?! there's a good one that runs from Mohegan Sun Casino and runs through the end of long island (greenport, Montauk) then block island for lunch, great run deep water etc... Poker runs america runs it...
