I was planning on going this weekend but weather is a bust. Next weekend is Memorial day and I don't do amature hour in SoFlo. Next opportunity is is first or second weekend in June right now. I already have a reservation at Resorts World we like to stay in Fishermans Village. I will be doing Bimini runs from Ft Lauderdale all summer at least once a month. I am doing a 10 day trip to Eleuthera in July. Have you made the run before?
 
Im in - i could do anytime the week of june 20th or the week of the 5th of july.....could also do anytime after 7/28 but before 8/15...I would be interested in the sands or RW - we've tried to get a group trip together before....lets get it done this time!
 
Planning or trying June 11-14 weather permitting again. Staying at Resorts World marina.
 
I’m going in my Meridian around 6/23. Fisherman’s Village.
 
If the ole gal I’m hoping to buy passes survey I’d love to go towards end of July. I’m in Vero Beach and could meet a flotilla further south.
Last time I went I was a teen on a 17ft Mako center console w a 115hp ‘Rude.
 
Crossing over next weekend on a friend's 650fly, leaving out of LHP early 7/2. Slip at RWB and returning on Monday the 5th. Will be my first time in Bimini, so happy to be crossing with an experienced captain before making the trip on my own. Let me know if anyone else will be there to say hello.

Really COVID outbreak? It was back to normal a few weeks ago, no one wearing a mask
 
I was there last weekend and the curfew was hardly enforced. We were told that we were to remain onsite (RW) past 7 pm, but I saw ppl coming and going. The casino and all bars on the property were full on and crowded. Resort staff were asking guests to put on the masks while in the interior walkways and at the casino tables, but that was it. The curfew press release seemed like an attempt to discourage a massive influx over the holiday weekend.

On Thursday, in Boca on the ICW, while I was teaching a guy to handle his new to him 32’ Scout, I saw your boat. When we got close, I could not believe your boat was a Sea Ray! Beautiful paint job, beautiful boat!

Thank you sir! I had her wrapped a little over a year ago.
Your comment caught me off guard at first since I haven't been out for a couple of weeks. But I was on the boat Sunday doing some stereo work and recall seeing a blue hull scout about that size come down the canal, very nice.
I will be moving south down by Camino in a week, as my buddy just sold that property on Appelby. If you ever see me out, please holler. I usually hit the lake once or twice a month.
 
Heading to Bimini Sept 9 - 13 staying at Fisherman’s Village @ Resorts World. If anyone else is planning on going let me know… World be great to see some more CSR MEMBERS
 
Man....I hope the staff at Resort World are doing a better job of maintaining the facilities. Was there not too long ago and the restrooms/showers were wrecked, they never had any ice available and staff was not existent....until I found them all hanging out in the a/c office.

The floating docks etc are top notch but they need to keep up with keeping it clean.

When we do our Exumas trip we are just going to stop for fuel top off before the run to Chub/Nassau and then Staniel Cay.

Lol... I agree they lack in the "customer service" side of the business. I don't use the facilities but have seen it looking nasty some weekends. I am a sucker for the nice docks only and the resort area. I only deal with Phil and David so if i need something they seem to make it happen. I wanted to try the "under new ownership" Bimini Sands in South Bimini since it is closer to get in and out but was voted down by my crew.

When are you going to the Exumas? How is your fuel burn in the gasser from Bimini to Chub? Can you make Bimini to Nassau? I really want to make another run this year to Chub for a extended weekend but time is running out.

I have not been to the Bahamas yet, but was hoping to make a late trip there towards the end of Sept/Oct. When you say time is running out, do these places close for the winter soon? I realize once the winds come from the north it can be very windy in the Bahamas, and very few good weather/wind windows for the crossing. If too late, I guess next spring will have to do.
