Bumming about Bimini ....







 
 
Well we're here.  We're in Bimini, Bahamas.  I'd love to tell you it was a spectacular crossing, but it wasn't.  Instead it was quite sloppy.  The SSE winds quickly turned back SE.  The wind gusts up to 18 knots quickly became 18 knots sustained with gusts to 28.  The 2 foot chop was much more than that.  It was rather ugly, but hey 48 miles of ugly isn't so bad when the end result is the Bahamas.
 
We've tied up at Bimini Big Game Club and for the first time ever don't feel like we need to run from Bimini to get across the 80+ miles of the Bahama Bank.  Instead we've spent the night and even bummed about town a bit.  The views are definitely from soup to nuts.
 
Once leaving here, we are planning to go further north in the Bimini channel to check out territory we've never seen. 
 
Stay tuned for more.

Just missed you guys :-( We were in the Everglades with no phone and no Internet while you were in Miami. We were hoping to catch up with you when we got out today. Have a great time and hope to hear from you again soon.
