Default Texas to Bimini - Summer 2012

There's a few here on Lake Travis interested. I would like to go again, but Nancy and I will not do it alone again, nor will it be so last minute.

So, we're trying to see if anyone out there wants to make this trip. We're pretty much open to any week this summer for now.

The plan would be to leave Austin on a Friday. Arrive in Ft Lauderdale on the following Saturday late afternoon. Then leave early in the morning either Sunday or Monday for Bimini. Come back from Bimini on Friday morning, load up and head home.

Nancy and I did it a couple of years ago by ourselves:

And, back in 2006, we did it with a few other boats (that thread is on TBM somewhere).

Had a great time both times.

If there's any interest, let me know.

Ed

Title is fixed. This is for this year!

Congrats on the boat. If you know of any other folks in the area that may be interested, tell them to get on here.

I'm still trying to round up a crew and more boats over here to try to make this happen.

If the weather is good, sure you can.... I know people that went across in some 21' & 23' Yamaha boats.

There are also some videos of a few guys that made the trip on jet skis.

Ed,
Mike and Kim we are interested in going with you and Nancy as your crew or if we find a new toy we will come along side of you. We looked for you this weekend and never saw you two out in the cove. I have a lot of vacation that I need to burn this year.

Michael & Kim Henderson
