@@louisdoss5853 it kinda trivialises their capabilities and reduces it to "they look good". Sure it is your opinion, but sometimes it is good to keep opinions to yourself and STFU.

I have been researching what I need to do for my trip next year to Bimini. This was the most helpful as far as the process, paperwork, fees, etc. Thank you for the info. Definitely subscribing now.

[@GaleForceTwins]

That’s amazing!! Welcome to our channel. We are glad we could be helpful 😊

[@jimmyduramax8296]

Never would have thought about doing what you guys did here, go to Bimini by own/rented boat. I’m now pumped to leave AL and do it with family! Thank you both!!!! 😎🐘

[@GaleForceTwins]

That’s awesome!!!

[@chiphill4856]

Be careful using a "rented" boat. They are typically not maintained well enough to trust for something like this. I'm referring to a boat club style rental or possibly a one-time rental from a marina. They didn't mention it, but the boat they are using is probably a demo boat from a local dealer who already does business with the GFT's. The point is, a breakdown would be a disaster, don't trust just anyone with the boat details.

[@naturaldad3931]

Excellent video girls!!! Very informative...thanks so much!! You girls do a great job!

👍 Very Cool! What an awesome adventure! Really looking forward to more videos from this trip...🎣

[@ThomasSamartino]

Really appreciate your great videos, specially this one as we just did our first Bimini crossing. Followed your advice and used Go Outdoors Bahamas - very easy to use; Click2Clear was confusing. No good deed goes unpunished. Bimini Customs office would not accept the Go Outdoors Bahamas paperwork - said “it’s not an official government process”. Made us do it all over there in the office. Must have gotten that one guy…. Keep up the good work - love it!

[@christophermarinel5080]

Haven’t seen any of your videos before but the ole KZbin algo popped this one up. Super clutch saying you gotta get the covid test (regardless of vaccination*) to go to the bahamas now. Was there in august and the lady at customs in West End said should be clear for next 60 days or something like that. Checked online and turns out I still gotta get tested, saved me a big headache thanks!

We are so glad we could be if help! Have a great trip ☺️

Hello

[@yoza717]

I thought ½ Lemonade - ½ Ice Tea is an Arnold Palmer.

[@mjredfisher1]

So funny thing… I ordered it as an Arnold Palmer the other day at chick fil a and they told me they can no longer call it that because Arnold Palmer Corp trademark the name Arnold Palmer and they now have to call it a sun joy haha

[@yoza717]

@@mjredfisher1 Wow, I didn’t know Arizona Tea had copyrights to his name. So I guess larger corporations have to call it another name to keep from getting a lawsuit. I’ll have to try the opposite and order a Sun Joy from other places and see if I get funny looks. 😆

[@CarieSaad]

Nope. Arnold Palmer has alcohol in it.

Ok ladies, I’ve been lurking for a bit watching here and there going back through your older vids seeing if I really wanted to subscribe. Well this was the one that did it for me. Will hit the subscribe as soon as this posts. You two have created your own business, are very level headed and smart. I have no doubt that I will enjoy the future content as it is my retirement goal to buy a salt water boat and spend my days fishing the coastal waters of Florida. Seeing this crossing to Bimini has added an additional goal. Cheer ladies!! I hope the fishing is good and can’t wait to see the results.
