I am based out of Thunderboat Marina in Dania. I hope that we can get a group together this year and head out to the Bahamas.
Happy trails!!

Hop how far are the Bahamas and would one be crazy if they tried to do it on a single engine 270?

About 55 miles to Bimini. Much smaller boats than a 270 have made the trip. I also have a 270 also and hope to go in 3 years when I retire.

I haven't heard from Indy for a long time. I moved to Florida from there. Worked on the north side, lived on the east side.
Welcome to Florida

I am still stuck here. 6-8 inches of snow expected in the next 48 hours. I like to cruise the keys but I had to skip a few years to get back into a cruiser.
Maybe we will see you sometime in the near future. Enjoy your weather!

I am actually in Central Florida, but the South Florida group will do fine for me.
And, yes....you can do the Bahamas run in a 270. Provided the conditions are good.

AAAAAH!! The $64,000 question. If the weather is good.
May or June is probably the best shot.
Stay tuned . . . . . . .

Our group did Father's Day weekend last year (late June) and it was flat. Perfect conditions.
