Couple years ago we had a group go on a trip to the Exumas and I was wondering if anyone would want to do that again? I know the economy is not the greatest and it may be a little early to start this discussion but thought maybe I would put it out there anyway.
 
FL to Bimini 48miles
bimini Nassau I thin is 120 miles , I will check that. If needed a stop in Chub can be made but I think the fuel there is real expensive and they have problems with power from time to time from I have heard.
nassau to exumas about 40-50 miles depends on where you go. Last trip the guys spend a bunch of time on the hook from what I remember, 2-3 days running generator. I will get more accurate info and put it up here.
 
I'm interested. Fuel seems like the biggest logistics consideration. I hold 225 gals of gas. What time of year? What speed do you travel? Customs? Etc, etc.
 
Hey Tom/Trit21, Some of us gassers would be interested if you make a fuel stop in Chub , that's the only leg of the trip I would be concerned with unless we stop in Chub for fuel. Keep us posted on plans, was thinking of going over with the Bahamas Boating Fling also.

Right now I really don't have plans just putting feelers out. We are probably moving our boat to Ft. pierce Jan or Feb of next year (2013) and will do a couple of trips to Bimini, West End. Want to be closer to dolphin fishing and a change of scenery to So. Fl is going to be a pleasant change. Right now getting all my maintenance done, paint hull and bottom paint, underwater lightship etc so once I e completed that I will be back to planning a trip. Any more ideas or anyone that wants to go please chime in and lets see if we can get something going for a fun Bahamas trip.
 
We took the big boat to Port Lucaya and then to Bimini a few months ago. I would be interested in a trip back to Bimini in the 280. We really enjoyed Bimini!
 
I prefer Bimini over Lucaya too. Haven't been to West End in a while but not much there. Maybe we should start a Bimini Trip Thread!
 
Well, let's do it then!!! Start packin' Donnie, Randy is the Bimini Veteran!!!:grin:
 
I'll be in Great Exuma at the Sandals Emerald Bay in April. Does that count?
