7 friends, 600 miles, 5 days...all on waverunners

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.

@dcurtin524 Your life must be boring.

Good video and looked like fun. But C'mon guys wear your vests. To anyone who rides a ski please wear your vest. It's all fun and games until you drowned. Play safe play smart.

@unsane great video, great trip, ignore idiots like unsane, people like this find fault in everything because they're just idiots.

glad you had a wonderful time, it appears obvious that you did !

Only a moron would indicate a "torn muscle" as something "a few weeks rest couldn't heal."

And, as others have said: these are Darwin candidates just waiting to receive their reward. Crossing the 'stream might work a few times, but when the luck runs out on a 12 foot boat . . . you're dead.
