Bug group going June 27th-july 2ndAnyone headed to Bimini In July? Also looking to go for 5 nights and not a full week.
Hi we are looking to cross for the first time as well. We might leave around July 10/11 or around the following weekend. We can be flexible in dates too in July We are interested in staying 5 nights.My wife and I would love to join a group to Bimini. I’m a long time boater but looking to do the crossing with others for safety. This will be our first crossing. We can leave from Boca, Hillsboro or ft Lauderdale. We are fairly flexible with dates.
We have reservations for 6.27-7.2.
anyone know who to get in contact with the organizer of that group?
Would like to join this group, do you have a thread for the trip?We are going in late July, probably 27th to the 31st ish. The dates are flexible. We will be leaving out of Ft. lauderdale with 3 boats so far. But the more the merrier!
I did not create a thread for the trip. And we have amended the dates. We are shooting for July 24th to the 28th which is a Saturday to Wednesday.Would like to join this group, do you have a thread for the trip?

Im crossing July 11-18 if those dates work for anyone. Im trailering from Texas so flexible where to leave out of, Except Haulover inlet. I had planned on leaving from Ft Lauderdale but read Key Biscayne or Miami are a little closer/easier??
I would have guessed that if Port Everglades was worse in terms of wave/current/tide action that there would be lots of videos taken there too.....but it seems Haulover is the favorite spot.....is that because of the nearby beach and bikinis perhaps??? LOLDon't know why people feel Haulover is sketchy.
Haulover is a shorter inlet vs Government Cut or Ft Lauderdale.
Ft Lauderdale is rough and long inlet to open water vs Government Cut in my opinion.
Haulover is your only other option if parking in between. I have been going in/out over 30yrs with skis and boats and is better than the two above.
The ramp I use is one bridge away from Haulover or you can drop in at Haulover Marina and be in IC channel to inlet. At night leaving from Haulover park is easier since IC channel makers have no lights
Key Biscayne has its advantage as you exit ramp you go under bridge straight East into open water. Your starting point is further South though
