Thanks. It was the perfect spot for our first Bimini trip.

We will cover this question and more in our frequently asked question video coming up in 2 weeks. But not to leave you hanging until then, they charged us $5 per foot per day with a 30-ft minimum. Price is very between seasons.

Thanks! Yeah, no Wawa is definitely a deal breaker for Christine too. We tried our best to channel our inner "our next adventure!" Style tour on this one. Although we did not have Jarett's world famous bike tour. I suppose we missed the opportunity to have a jet ski tour. Lol

@@WeekendersontheWater 😂 ❤️

I'm sure you'll have a blast!

We rode a 2017 seadoo GTI SE 130, and a 2021 Sea-Doo GTI SE 170. Any full size ski would do. I personally would not use a Sea-Doo spark or Yamaha EX for this type of trip.

Thanks! I've always thought that everyone living in Florida needs some way to get out on the water. Whether that's a boat, a jet ski or a kayak. There's so many places to explore! When we first moved here we couldn't afford jet skis right away, so we got on Facebook marketplace and bought some used kayaks.

I used these ratchet straps. I put one through the back of the rack and through both eyelets on the back of the ski, being sure to angle it up towards the rack and away from the IBR system. I put the other ratchet strap on the front and through the eyelet behind the seat. This was for the 2017 SeaDoo. amzn.to/4c4qHvH

Hilarious outtake cartoon side by side. 😂😂

Lol, I didn't mention it in the video, but that's from catching the drone out of the air. It nipped my thumb.

Lol 😂

Thanks for the tip!

Lol, yes we got mixed up that day. I swear we knew where we were, just had the wrong words come out.😜

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

It was an unforgettable trip! So much fun!

Absolutely!

We were at the beach for two hours before we remembered that we had our snorkel gear. Lol game changer!

@@TheOceansideGuy absolutely!

Haremos un vídeo recapitulativo, donde respondemos a las preguntas más habituales. pero para que no tenga que esperar, la respuesta corta es que usábamos 11 galones en el camino y 13 galones en el camino de regreso y llenamos mientras estábamos en la isla. Por favor, disculpe las posibles errores de traducción.

Yes they did, unfortunately. I am aware of this product that seems to be similar, although I've yet to try it. As for the stress on the ends of the bunks, you are correct. But I've not had one snap on me yet. Even if they do it's just a pressure treated 2x4 and a little bit of bunk carpeting, so I'm not too concerned about it. amzn.to/3VXNGm3

This is not something I normally talk about for fear of being TMI. But I have gotten this question a few times recently. I really like the Duluth Trading Company Bullpen Armachillo underwear. They keep everything in place, prevent chafing, and are quick drying. I always wear these under my swim trunks. www.duluthtrading.com/mens-armachillo-cooling-bullpen-boxer-briefs-72267.html?color=BBL&srccode=GBSHPMN&ogmap=PLA%7CBRN%7CGOOG%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C%7C20863355239%7C155319551886&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwv7O0BhDwARIsAC0sjWMqxbwG7LdvAhDs6bc7GPQUT7o2x06Ukoq4FF6U0yQsi9L_x0g6k0saAssWEALw_wcB

Sure, why not. I probably wouldn't want to do it on an EX though.

I definitely would recommend you do a shakedown run before you try something like this. Make sure that you can comfortably ride 60 plus miles offshore with all your gear. We road 40 miles down the coast in 40 miles back on our shakedown run.

@@WeekendersontheWater perfect, thanks a lot . I’m not sure what to order if the GP or RXTX just a little scared with some seadoo issues and i don’t like the Yamaha FX 😅

I didn't explain it in the video, but you can reach it with a 90° clamp. Although I still think it's best to just take off the cover. Put a t30 and a 10 mil in your emergency kit. As long as the ski is floating it's easy enough to remove, if the ski is sinking quickly tow it to the nearest beach at slow speed and then clamp.

Thank you so much!

Thank you, really appreciate that. I just have an old DJI mini. I'd like to upgrade to the Mini 4 Pro at some point, but as long as this one still working, we keep using it. Christine does all the editing for the videos. And I think she did a great job putting those shots together.

@@WeekendersontheWater great job editing! Getting all the great shots! I had the DJI mini four Pro. First time drone user. Still getting used to it. Keep up the great work you guys!

@@TheOceansideGuy I would love to have the object tracking available on the 4 pro. But at least for now the original mini is still going strong. And because it is nearly worthless I'm a lot more bold about flying it over water now.

@@WeekendersontheWater Ya. I have been practicing flying it over the ocean.

@@TheOceansideGuy the real trick is launching and retrieving from the ski.

Thank you! We haven't really considered it yet, but maybe a potentially sometime in the future.

@@OurNextAdventurejvh thank you!

Yes Bahamas Challenge

@@WeekendersontheWater I'll be 68 tomorrow. Wondering if I'm too old for a Sea-Doo, but it looks like a lot fun. I saw another video where there was a Sea-Doo Switch making the crossing with the jet ski's. Think I should get a Switch?

One Switch made the crossing with us on this ride and it could be a great alternative to a ski, however we know there were people in their 60’s on this ride. We maintain that just getting out on the water is the fun part- no matter how you do it. Maybe rent a ski a few times and see how you feel with it? We rented one time before we bought because Christine hadn’t ridden before and she was READY TO BUY the first time she saw a pod of dolphins. Lol

😂

Thank you so much! Lol, I wish SeaDoo would give us some skis. We are 100% self financed. We pay for everything with our own cash.

@@WeekendersontheWater well you guys are doing great with the this content ! My wife and I are extremely motivated to take this very bucket list trip. Look forward to more adventurous content. Lead the way. Godspeed !!

@@GLOBEX-PLORER4K thank you so much. It was a bucket list item for us too. We had a great time on this trip. Definitely recommend to check out Bahamas challenge on Facebook. That's the group that we rode with, they go at least once a year.

Hi there! Here are the Amazon links to all of that. Hat: amzn.to/4cM3Plb Goggles: amzn.to/3Lardx2 Gator: amzn.to/4cPgLqB

Thank you!

Neat video. I've never really looked into it before. I always assumed that you needed the GPS unit to get the depth finder. Pretty cool I just shows up there on the screen.

@@WeekendersontheWateryup. So glad I got it.

Thanks. Lewis really likes shrimp, lobster, crab, conch, but I think most of the time I'll just stick with steak. 😊👍

Great video! You guys make a great team on the water!

Absolutely!

I suppose so. Personally I just like to stick with whatever it had stock just to make sure there's no issues. Here's a link to where I bought mine off of Amazon amzn.to/4eHGEKE

Thanks, glad you found it helpful. Here's a link to Amazon, for the one that I purchased. amzn.to/3ziJRQB

The group was moving fairly slow. It was a bit of a rough day to start out, and we were only heading about 20 mph. We stopped for about 20 minutes in the middle, and again another 10 minutes to afix our flags. I personally did not have a GPS, but I have navtronics on my phone which works an airplane mode, and a VHF radio with GPS coordinates as well. And of course we had a personal locator beacon each. But as far as navigation goes, I just followed the ski in front of me.

@@WeekendersontheWater I'm watching the "what to pack" video and it answered the GPS piece of my question. I love the navionics app, I use it a lot all over the USA. Thanks for the response.

@@skierman64 no problem!

That is a difficult topic. We were lucky to not have anyone break down during the ride. There were a few issues on the island. One guy had to get his ski shipped home. Another managed to fix it on the island. I've heard on other groups that some times they just let the skis go if the start to sink, and follow up with their insurance company. Because I have two, my plan was to tow one with the other of needed.

Thanks! Just got to make it happen. This was months if not years in the planning. But eventually someday has to be today.

We are riding a 2017 Sea-Doo GTI SE 130, and a 2021 Sea-Doo GTI SE170. I would recommend anything larger than a spark. A GTI 90 would probably be the smallest I would recommend.

@@WeekendersontheWater thanks so much

I plan to do a video about it at some point. For this trip I just zip tied it to the fishing pole mount on the rack. I've also designed a few home brew solutions for the linq system or the ski pylon cover.

Thanka for following along. For this trip we left out of Ray Wayside Park.

For this trip we left from salt springs boat ramp. maps.app.goo.gl/rhjWs7NYxkjDRsYT6

Why not take your VXHO? If you want to do it, you should sign up next year. I have a close friend that wants to go as well. So we may do it again next year or the year after.

@@WeekendersontheWater I'll have to do a lot of squats between now and then to get ready. It's a lot of fun but it's light.

Watch 7 drunde 600 moke waveruners

We didn't actually leave before dawn. We were just tied up at the dock until then.

Lol, thank you! Glad it was helpful. I can see from KZbin analytics, that 3% of people that have watched this video did so because they searched broken toe. 😂

Thank you!

These GTIs have a 16 gallon tank. Depending on how hard you ride and conditions it can vary between 60 and 100 miles on a full tank.
