Hey Guys

Thanks for all the support. I just got back from Havasu, what a great event they have.

Registrations are coming in. Lots to do. I look forward to seeing everyone in MIAMI!

Whats the smallest boat that has made this run? Would a 24 Skater be a good fit?

Also, what are the legalities of the trip, do you have to have a passport for going into bimini?

You could run a 24 Skater as long as the weather conditions support it.

You do not have to have a passport. However we strongly encourage you to have one in the event you become disabled and must make landfall on Bimini.

You can claim Force Major. The Bahamians wont bother you but CBP will really hassel you hard when you return to the US.

The rule book and all other information is on the website:

Dont forget FPC is doing a run on Saturday as well.

Yeah Brad I guess rough is all relative..my understanding was that it got a little choppy miles offshore...times were not nearly as fast as previous years and Jeff and Joey certainly had the bruises afterward to show for their 1st place effort...not to mention JBS letting lose a kidney stone...:coolcowboy:
