Hey Fort Lauderdale boater. Tell me what's going on — electronics issue, Bahamas crossing question, Las Olas bridge schedule, or Hillsboro Inlet tide intel. Real answers, not generic search.
Planning a run to Bimini from Port Everglades — what's the best weather window?
Port Everglades to Bimini is a 55-60nm Gulfstream crossing. The key is wind direction vs. current. The Gulfstream flows north at 2-4 knots — any north component in the wind (NE, N, NW) stacks up against that current and creates steep, dangerous square seas. Target wind from 090 or south of that, under 15kt sustained. Early morning departure (before dawn) is standard to beat afternoon thermal buildup. File a float plan and make sure your CBP ROAM app is ready for Bahamas entry. What's your boat and what window are you considering?
