Anyone wanting the 2019 edition of the Cruising Guide to the Abacos before the trip: you need to order it today on Amazon to get it by Tuesday. It is $29.95 and to get it by Tuesday it will cost you another $15.

Super psyched!!!! I’ll add to the list tomorrow a few important missing things. Gotta watch any wind out of the North.

Viking hats and kazoos?

Good list, that InReach is one handy gadget.

Crossing weather on Tuesday looks great!! Good luck!

Snookerd, where did you get the small immigration cards?

Ordered them from the Bahamas tourism office here in FL.

Lost my passport after going to Canada in June. Searched frantically three hours.
Found it.

Things added to list.

2 strokes—extra spark plugs.
Does anybody have a camera enabled drone?
Tools.
Go pro.
Antibiotics and pain medicine.
Flashlight.
Cigars.
Headphones.
Trailer Jack, tire iron.
Tons of gator aide.
Rigged or I rigged ballyhoo.
Deep drop rigs.
Extra phone chargers. (I replaced my cig lighter dual with dual usb charger ports)
Long sleeve swim shirts.
Zinc or 50 SPF
Cutting board, filet knife, zip locks.
Big hat.
Large boat umbrella
Bug spray
Trailer lock
Dive mask anti fog
Beach towel

Cool! Hopefully we can edit the videos from us and post it on YouTube.

Jim-

There is a procedure for approval for drones in the Bahamas. Have you seen the authorization procedure? Probably fine, but people take it seriously. Just a heads up in case the Bahamas Defense folks confiscate it.

how bout condoms ?
jus in case

No, I was not aware of any restrictions. I will look into the "authorization procedure"? If it is going to be a hassle, I'm just going to leave it at home...

Jim

Almost forgot, always bring a good book!

Jeeez....what does the Bahamas have, three john boats for their Navy?? :)

They rarely will inspect a boat at check-in. The chances of getting boarded are slim. I think most boaters probably don’t get authorization and don’t have an issue. The problem is when you are flying from what I hear.

Cant remember the last time i havent seen a drone over there... someones always got one at the dock or double breasted.

Weve had em over our boat at dusk bottom fishing the edge of the bank multiple times, US gubmint id assume... the Electric eye!

Bringing an older one with a head mount and a floating handle.

We arrived....
 

Perfect crossing and run up to Grand Cay!

You guys are awesome. Well, well done!!

Nice cruise speed there.

Thanks guys....We are trolling in the AM and diving with T3 in the afternoon. Should be epic. Stay tuned. We cruised at 23mph For the crossing and got up to 30 on the bank. Great weather.

Day2 Start to the Day
 

Our plan is to head out offshore and dive in the afternoon. Then a trip to Double Breasted

Outstanding! Be safe and eat lots of conch for me.

Looks like the weather window for the trip back is a good one. Little breezy in the morning but smooth sailing by mid day.

Thanks Ken – that’s what we’re banking on! Should be a great trip back tomorrow. We had a great day trolling and some extra snorkeling. Getting ready to put the banner up and take some photos ...

This pretty well sums it up !!
