2017 June Bahamas Gathering

[Snookerd]

I am now stuck crossing to West End with a 23 Proline.

All the new Garmin parts came in.... data card, Sirius XM weather, and XM radio hook ups. It works perfectly!

[Snookerd]

Well, the crossing was quite bumpy and it rained at least half the time. Never saw the sun until after we cleared customs at noon time. 13-15 knots. The ride on the Bahama bank was flawless. Sitting at Grand Cay right now. This could have been a CSC gathering! Next year brethren!!

No fishin`?

Looks like paradise.
Not Jealous at all...

It was paradise! The weather kept us island hopping and no fishing. It was an incredible trip. Crossed in 2.5 hrs on the way back.

Glad the trip went well. Did you refuel at the west end reception dock?

Thanks Ken-Refueled at West End 2 times. 1 time at Grand, 1 time in Green Turtle, 1 time in Guana. Refuel-33 gallons WPB to WE, 54 gallons WE to Green Turtle, 62 gallons in Guana (9 days of boating-the whole time we were there!)And last fill was Grand Cay on the way back 32 gallons. I burned 50 gals to go from Grand to West Palm. Total of 230 gallons +/-. 206 miles each way. Average fuel burn was 8.2 gallons an hour . That load is 5 people avg 160lbs each, 10 days of stuff and a full tank. I was thinking 2.75 mi/gal, but it was over 3.
