Seven friends on five waverunners travel from Miami to the southern bahama islands (Exumas) and back in five days. Four waverunners made it back. No one was seriously injured in the trip although ankles were sprained, backs pulled, and muscles torn…nothing a few weeks of rest couldn’t heal. Day 1: Left Miami before sunrise, fueled in Bimini, ate conch salad, journey’d to north Andros. Didn’t make it in time for gas station. Ate more conch and fried chicken for dinner. Day 2: Filled up in north Andros, drove to south Andros. Stayed at the Andros yacht club. Day 3: kept driving to the south end of Andros. Found a random canal with a tiny gas pump. Filled up and crossed the tongue of the ocean. Wind died. Stopped at sandbars 20 miles from Exuma islands for some fun and continued on to Staniel Cay. Stayed in staniel cay where we drove to see the pigs and play in thunderbolt cave. Day 4: Turn around-heading back…Staniel cay to Hayborne cay. This is where we used the parasail we packed for the first time. Parasailed all the way up to Hayborne Cay. FIlled in Hayborne. Hayborne to Nassau (atlantis resort). Night crossing from nassau to Chub Cay. Day 5: Chub cay to Bimini where all but one waverunner ran out of gas. Ran through Bimini canals where the crash occured. Left one waverunner in Bimini. Then, Bimini to Miami. Home sweet home.

    My ass and inner thighs are sore just from watching this. Amazing trip though and well worth the sacrifices I’m sure. Adding this one to my bucket list.

    Buy a Sea-Doo RXP-X 260 :D 

  12. EA7HD says:

    Thanks man :D 

  13. TheNakedCommunist says:

    not in any particular order songs are –
    Wiz Khalifa VS Empire of the Sun – The Thrill
    Slightly Stoopid – Sweet Honey
    Michael Franti & Spearhead – Sound of Sunshine

  14. TheNakedCommunist says:

    They strap fuel containers to the back of the ski mate. Just be careful if you have a go at this, one wave can contaminate your fuel supply and goodbye jetski… Good luck

  15. Nickyvonboss says:

    only $10,000 for that SHO you had, I think? was it an SHO?

  16. Nickyvonboss says:

    what did you end up doing with the crashed jetski

  17. EA7HD says:

    Song is Empire Of The Sun – Walking On A Dream

  18. EA7HD says:

    make it interesting then! you have the power :) we all do :)

  19. BellaFloraSD says:

    This is one of the videos that inspired me to buy a wave runner(09 yamaha fzr). Now i just have to convince my friends to get one so we can do a cool trip like this. Life is good.

  20. dodgerb says:
