Team CSR,

I am in the later planning stages for the 2023 Bahamas Exuma Fling. This is a bucket list trip for any boater. I only have a max of 15 spots and 10 are already spoken for. if you are interested please PM me to discuss.

Click here on the Agenda Link to see the plan
 
watching...

Unless something changes, we are unable to commit for this year.

Please keep my info as we're DEFINATELY IN for a future year as time permits :)

We're only 1.5 days away from Bahia Mar via the ditch.

sending you an e-mail :)

BEST !

Ok so there were a couple of changes to the dates (click to see agenda) but the Exumas Fling is locked in and the booking has begun. We have a few CSR members that are attending this year so I expect to see a lot of Sea Rays on this bucket list trip in 2023. All the 2023 Flings are now open (click to see the site) and sign up for the adventure. I myself will be hosting at least one of the Bimini Flings and the big "extended version" of the Exumas Fling. Hope to see more of you CSR members over in the Bahamas in 2023
 
How does this work? Is there a fee and hotels booked or people have to book hotels on their own?

There is a $75 fee that's it for joining the actual fling (you get some SWAG for that). Then your space is confirmed. You will receive emails then where to call to lock in and pay for your reservation (sometimes at a discounted rate).
 
For those that think they would like to do this trip but.....
For those that have a capable boat but are apprehensive on making the crossing but want to....
Get onboard with this agenda; it is a once in a lifetime adventure for most boaters.
We took the boat over to the Exumas last year and thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. This trip Grant has lined up is a bucket list!
 
Grant - @ocgrant - there are a couple of low pressure systems developing off the coast of Africa.
Heads Up!
One, the most developed looks to be heading North of you but never know.
Stay safe and enjoy!
 
Yea I know… always something looking to cause an issue. Little early this year. Let’s hope it blows by fast and calms down.
 
@ocgrant Grant that is some trip you have put together. A bucket list trip is an understatement. I only wish I lived in FL, you'd have another boat with you for sure! Very nice thing your doing putting this together.

Hopefully this one stays south of you or heads out into the open ocean before it gets to you. Spaghetti tracks look more likely to stay south in the Caribbean, and the winds fairly moderate. Hopefully it doesn't bother you at all or at worst a couple of blow days.

3 days and counting and weather looks good.... Last 2 days of boat yoga and today provisioning. It is going to kill me before we even leave the dock. Looking forward to getting going!!!
 
Wow I need to move to Florida. Or at least move the boat there

Day one made it to Bimini… was like a lake crossing. Topped off the diesel to my surprise only $5.50 a gallon. Then cleared in which was super easy as it was slow after the 4th so 10 mins to get cleared a new record. Then went over to Paradise Beach to get in a dunk. Virgin cruise ship leaving soon so should be a quiet night and early start tomorrow for a 5 hour run to Nassau to get to Atlantis. 12 boats made the first leg. Meeting 2 more that are already in Atlantis.
