    We always declare our gun and bullets since we started going in like 1994. Lately they have been coming to the boat to verify it, but that is about it.

    Great video and thanks for doing this. You mention fishing license. If you come over on a boat and check-in that way, you pay the boat entry fee, $150 up to 28' I think it is, it includes fishing license for the boat up to 4 people.

    • @richardpowers988
      @richardpowers988  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      $150 up to 34 feet and you are correct on the fishing license

      kevin turpin it’s a great trip. We are planing a trip for July 18-25 this year. We do go other times but this is the main one. You can follow us on Facebook at Cape Romain marine. We make plans and announcements there I will be doing a class on what to pack and how to pack your boat once we get closer to the spring. Stay tuned

    You mention making sure you have SeaTow when you go to Bimini. I have BoatUS for the same purpose. Does it matter which you have for Bimini? Or is it just important to have one of them?

    • @richardpowers988
      @richardpowers988  ปีที่แล้ว

      I am pretty sure they go over that way. I would reach out to them and make sure. What you have to do is get towed out a mile of so for them to pick you up.

  • @robertkelly3357
    @robertkelly3357 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for your video, very informative. One question: how much traffic do you see during the first 20 miles of your journey? Isn’t that area one of the most congested areas for boats and ships? I’d think you’re never out of sight of boats/ships during this part of the journey.

    • @richardpowers988
      @richardpowers988  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It’s crowded for 1st 20 miles but really is not an issue. Plenty of spacing. If you leave a night you may want to have a radar but daylight hours should not be an issue. Hope that helps.

    What a great video! many thanks, very informative as we are trying to learn enough to try our very first crossing. Would you recommend a site or share info as to boat sizes capable of making this trip ? I see from jetskis to 40 footers but cant find a good source of info about this topic. we have a rinker captiva 232 with a single 300 HP engine. thanks for any advice!

    • @richardpowers988
      @richardpowers988  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you. I am not aware of a site that gives you that information. You can cross in any size boat as long as the weather is good enough for your size boat and what you are comfortable with. Personally I would not have an issue crossing in your boat. It’s a fantastic place and you will love it!!

      I wanted to go back again this year but because of covid restrictions we decided to stay local. We went from Melbourne florida to Cape coral thru the saint Lucie cancel and lake Okeechobee...was really nice. I call these type of trips adventures, not vacation, because they can be a lot of work.

      Isaac ash it will be on your nose or just off your nose crossing. It will be rough based on the forecast. You may want to look at Monday’s forecast. It’s looks a lot better but of course all this can change over the next few days.
