Strip,
I didn't make it this year due to mechanicals but ran it in 05 and 06. The trip is only an hour over in nice weather. 05 was to Bimini which is a couple miles less and it was Cadillac smooth going over and a little rough coming back. 06 was a RODNEY KING BEATING going over but not bad on the way back. This year was calling for seas 2 ft or less both ways. It is a killer trip and is definitely one to consider in the future. I have done all of the FPC runs except Emerald Coast and by far the Bahamas is my favorite destiination.
Last years fun:

Not really, the run is $600, Bahamas entry is $150 (less than 35 ft/ $300 over 35 ft) and the hotels/food are about the same as any metro area vacation spot. Fuel is about $5-6 a gallon for the return trip. This run was cheaper for me in 05 than the Key West run that year.

No way, i think $2000 per couple would be still on the high side. KWPR was 3K for us in 05 and I think the Bahamas run was $1500. Both runs were only my wife and I. The KW run was $800-900 in fuel due to the 300 mile roundtrip, PR fee was $700 so those things made up 1/2 the cost of the run right there.

Sandy and I are also thinking of doing it next year. We've been to KW 4 times now, and love it, (favorite PR) but would like to try something different. You guys are welcome to ride with us, or we can convoy down to together. Jeff
