This trip was amazing, I thank you my friend for making it possible. This was mine and Mary Sue's first crossing to Bimini and what made it extra special was My son (Paul) and his fiancee (Sami) crossed with us in their 302 Sportsman. We were amazed with the beautiful turquoise waters and white sandy beaches that the Bahamas has to offer. But all that was pale in comparison to the hospitality and love shown to us by you and Thalia, You guys are absolutely the best.

Much Respect Brother! You have the perfect attitude. A vessel is safe at harbor . . . that's not why we enjoy boats. No way video quarterbacks can estimate wave height or period. Based on the spray and "bounce" I'll take your word on that. Definitely looked sporty, and you and your buddy look to have made best speed with the conditions. Actually, I'm a bit disappointed if I don't get a few "bouncy" trips each year. One can only take so much "glass." ;)

they're comments about trip was what I expected. The key/Bahamas will spoil you. I'm in Savannah 2-4/3-5 is normal days. And NC is about the same maybe a touch worse. I love our trips to the Bahamas but I have gotten mad when dive boat cancel trips down there because seas are 2-3ft. If we didn't dive in that up here we would never get to go out. and thanks for the BNB info. going to stay there next summer for a week or so looks nice.
