That is crazy tempting. I need a passport, a Quarantine flag, a week off from work and some good weather.. Do you still need to file a float plan in Miami before going over?

Yes but you can go with just a passport card. We do need to pay Bimini entry fee of $150. So plan ahead and come on down to paradise!

I have 13 gallons for fresh water. I routinely get 200+ miles range out of my 60 gal tank. That is boating in perfect weather but heavy on the speed. An extra jerry can or two of fuel and water might not be a bad idea on that crossing. Weather would need to be good for me to go. Then there is the stress of not knowing what the weather would be for the return trip. It would be a tragedy to get stuck in paradise a few extra days while the weather clears. I have always wanted to do it but don't know what the family would think about it.. The engines in airplanes and boats seem to develop some unusual sounds at about the halfway mark, or so I have been told..

Ya'll need to post pics when ya go. I think member Lesterus took his V to Bimini a few times. Not to mention Cuba.
My Dad knew a guy that took a 13 Whaler on a good day.
