what is the latest list of committed boats and their departure inlets?

3 boats (2 23SFs, 1 23 Sceptre) and 8 people leaving from the Jupiter Inlet on July 11th. 2 more SeaCrafts would be cool! C'mon guys, pull out that dusty man card and tell the Mrs. you are gone for a few days....The CSC Banner will be present (thanks Ken), will you??

I know Don. I am not happy.
Good news is my rude got new BRP carb kits and has never run better.
Bad news is i am still dialing in the air bleed.

Now holding plane @2200 and 12 mph easily. Maybe chasing a less than perfect reed
as it is the same carb hating being palmed. Thought I had gotten past that.

I chatted with a Bahamas customs rep. She said we needed proof of ownership. Like the boat title. Is that correct or will registration be suitable? Or photocopy of Title!?!?

Brian, on the "Bahamas Customs Clearance" form they ask for the boat registration#. I would think that would be good enough. What does our fearless leader Snookerd say?

Registration definitely, a copy of your title isn’t a bad idea.

Especially if your boat gets ripped off :eek:
I was in Walkers years ago with the WPB Fishing Club when one of our group boats (25' Contender)
Was snatched over night right from its mooring. He finally got it back , I think around 4-5 years later. It was trashed. Nobody saw or knew nothing even with marina security sleeping with one eye wide open. What an ordeal he had with customs & his insurance company.

Lessons here not to scare but be mindful this day in age. Carry proper paperwork, spare parts for your motor (prop, anchor & fuel filters a must) call your insurance company for temporary coverage in Bahamian Waters. Also, some type of locking device for your SeaCraft & gear if possible.

I hope all you guys have a great trip. Collectively, all of you have a wealth of knowledge and seamanship
I cant wait for the pictures:)

To speed up clearing in, you can download the forms you will need and have them filled out before you get there. You will also have to fill out a card that the customs guys will give you. I get spares for next year, but don't know how to get my hands on the cards in the US.

I'll be over there about the same time, but too far south to visit. Good luck to all!

Capt Chuck is right on. Registration and passport is normally all you need, but if you have trouble, all the documentation you can carry will come in very handy.

I ordered 10 customs packages with the small immigration cards. I will bring them for anyone who needs one on Wednesday.

Looks like we’re going to have 10 of us… We have the Classic SeaCraft banner, thanks to No Bones! If you’re still interested in being apart of the MOAG, bring your boat and we will find an extra room or two on Grand....

This is the list I made for the trip. There are bunch of things we can add to this list. Here it is:

This is a group list, so just post what you are bringing, and I will add it (for those pirates that have "off the path" requirements, we will create sub-category lists that will give you full credit. For example, Spider Crab may bring his floating mobile home.
