Going to Vegas... All on red...
Leaving on a 5-6 week sailing trip to the Bahamas next weekend!
I'm really excited. One of my classmates (who's been on boats his whole life) got drunk and bought a 33 foot catamaran off of eBay using his buddy's iPhone!
So since October, 8 guys have been driving down to Pensacola to repair and outfit the boat for the big trip. We are heading from West Palm to the Abacos and will get back a couple weekd before graduation. Wish us luck and friendly weather!
A couple years ago I sailed the Virgin Islands. Took the trip in October, thinking we'd get in at the beginning of the tourist season. Dumb idea. Had a great time until Tropical Depression Alpha (later hit the Yucatan and Florida) came over St John and nearly swamped us.Sweet! It's not hurricane season, so that is a good thing.

Yes, not being hurricane season is a very good thing.
Right now the plans have been delayed few days while my 3 buddies in Pensacola wait for the bad weather/10 foot seas to go away. the rest of us will meet them on the Atlantic Coast (after they cut through the Okechobee waterway) and set sail for the Bahamas from there.
Now if I could only get all of this new employee paperwork finished...
All we need now is
1. Beer
2. Favorable winds
3. Fish that are ready to bite (or be speared)
4. Rum
I think that's about it.
If anyone needs a ride home give me call........
