Otto, Plus for those who don't have a boat here, they could fly into Freeport and take a taxi to the gathering.

It sounds good, I suggest you get in touch with the Bahamas Tourism Board, they hold a crossing a few times a year and will come to us here and hold a one day session to fill out all the documents and get ready for the crossing. I saw it on Ship Shape TV last year but can't seem to find it now. I just saw a web page that suggested Homestead Bayfront Park as the best jumping off point to the islands, after all, you'll be traveling with the Gulf Stream, not against. If y'all go, I need to know when so I can ask for vacation days ASAP.

Bimini would be a great place to travel this time of year, a friend of mine just got back a week or so ago and caught loads of grouper, mutton snapper and some kings. I am thinking about heading over memorial day weekend, and I am always looking for some excuses to go again.

Memorial day? Do you have accomodations in Bimini or do you overnight in the boat? I would be interested to accompany you if you don't mind, I've never done the crossing and it's always better to follow someone the first time around. Let me know so I can prepare and thanks!

No problem, the more boats the better!! It is still kind of up in the air right now. We ussually get a room. Still waiting to get some calls back but it looks like there is going to be a problem with dockage. I will keep you posted.
