    I’ve been following you guys for a long time now and I must say, your production quality is insane. The additional time that goes into producing something like this doesn’t go unnoticed - even from casual TH-camrs like me. Great work!

    While this trip was epic for your group, 62 years ago my dad & myself traveled from West Palm Beach to Grand Bahama Island & back in an 18 foot skiff powered by an 80HP Volvo I/O. We made the trip with another same size craft & encountered 6 - 8 foot swells along the way. My Dad wad an excellent boater & this was accomplished decades before modern electronics like chart plotters & Loran or GPS. You maybe know something about using Nautical charts & offsets for the Gulf Stream Current. You probably do not know how to use a sextant for navigation but the "old timers" did.

    That looks like such an awesome trip! I have this tiny 14ft jet drive turbodiesel runabout that I am in the midst of restoring/ building. I might just be crazy enough to try this crossing. However, I definitely won't go without other boats with me. What time of year is best to make the crossing? Also, what do you look for in the weather while trying to make the decisions? I would love to do this someday, but want to be more prepared.

      Summer time is the best time to go. Make sure there are no storms in the forecast and winds are less than 5 mph.

    Beautiful video. Great trip to Bimini. I did that many times in my 21’ Seabird. My gunnels were quite a bit higher than your Pathfinder so i never gave it much thought safety wise. I did pick my weather just as you did. Great filming, thanks for sharing.
