Bahamas Gathering 2012 - Updated '08 Thread

[Snookerd]

Hey Danny, it would be nice to have Caymanboy as our leader. I don't know all the tricks and hoops you have to jump through once you get there, so his leadership would be valuable. However he's still on top my "jealous list".

Don - I like the idea of leaning on that experienced and current knowledge base of Caymanboy and Rainmaker. I have crossed over to the Bahamas since 1974 growing up sailing around SE FL and respect the Gulfstream current immensely.

For folks that are not interested in the longer run across due to whatever reason: With my tank size, I would plan on crossing to West End(less than 60 mi), getting fuel and keep on going north toward Walkers and go from there..........My motto for making the trip is......Leave early and have options and flexability.

Chuck-This trip has your name written all over it..........
Rainmaker-I'm still working around the start of the lobster season as we discussed earlier. I agree with you, that going over before 8/1 and not spearing lobsters will probably be a deal breaker (barring the weather) for me. That's a big part of what I plan on doing with my kids and hopefully a few CSC friends!
