The rain and lightning for 5 days straight is my bigger concern

Hope all goes well. Looks great. Definitely plan to do next year

if it’s that bad I’ll probably wait it out. My wife has been looking at the weather when we’re supposed to head back but I’ll deal with it when the time comes. Not gunna stress over it while I’m here.

It looks like it willbe north of bimini but may be within hitting distance of fort lauderdale for the lightning.

Great time!! Got back home Sunday at 10:30pm & back to work first thing Monday. Cleaned up the boat last night and getting ready to mow the yard and get back to the normal routine. I’ll post more about the trip and pics as I get time.

Going to Bimini wasn’t too bad but could e been better. 2ft at 3sec so we took a little of a beating but happy I had trim tabs on this trip. We visited and snorkeled the usual sites, plane wreck, Sapona, honeymoon harbor and the beach off the NE side of the north island. Watched fireworks from or balcony that were being set off by the pool at Bimini Cove. We got a picture of the kids similar to when we were there in 2021. Fished offshore, down the South Island canals, and about everywhere we went. We were on the boat every day but did rent a cart on the north island for a few hours to check things out and enjoy a fresh made pizza at Edith’s Pizza. We also ate at Big Game Club a couple times. Crossing back to the US wasn’t bad at all. 1.5ft at 3.5sec for about the first half and then is spaced out to 6sec and smoothed out nice. Made it there in just over 2hrs from Harbor town and made it back just a little quicker.

We saw the remains of the fireworks! Glad it all worked out!

How were the mosquitoes? First time around they were bad enough to be a major contributor to stay on north island the following time around lol.

They fogged around bimini cove but were still unpleasant. Just not as bad. They don't swim though so we played in pool a lot

Interestingly I don't get bit nearly as much by mosquitos. No seeums are still nasty but i swear the mosquitos smell my chemical cocktail of chemicals and blood thinners and say no thanks

Not as bad as last time but still there. Used OFF and had no issues. We heard the truck drive by one night spraying for them.
