Correct its only 55 miles there. It takes about 1.5- 2 hours to get there.

That looks incredible, what a life to lead.

Pretty much this about being at the mercy of the jetstream. I've made the crossing to Bimini twice and I'd never do it on a jetski. Both times I crossed it was fairly rough with the 17 1/2' flats boat we were towing out to Bimini with us almost sinking on one of the trips. Also, I'd recommend stopping by chub cay. No tourists, much more of a deserted island vibe.

sick! we were just talking about this. We just did Freeport, Marsh Harbor, Harbor Island, Chubb Cay but that was an offshore fishing trip and waverunners would have proven useless. This is nuts! How'd you kidneys hold up?!

wow, that looks like so much fun. I would love to do that some day

I have wanted to do this for a long time!
