Arrival Bimini ....




We departed No Name Harbor as the sun was setting, hoisted the sails and began the trek to Bimini.  The weather was beautiful with southerly winds 10-15 knots, rolling seas, a near full moon and 70 degrees all evening. 

We made quick work of the crossing arriving well ahead of sunrise.  Given the darkness we anchored off Turtle Rocks and caught some zzzzz's before entering Alicetown for Cusoms and Immigration clearance. 

We are currently tied up at Bimini Big Game Club but will be departing shortly to begin the trek across the banks.  Once on the banks fishing gear will come out and we will hope to catch a snapper for supper.   The southerly winds are expected to continue for several days so we look forward to a great journey to Nassau.
