    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.

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!

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.
