Bimini

We are here in Bimini, just about 5o miles from Florida, dreading the thought of crossing back. Bimini, or north Bimini, is just a narrow patch of land about a city block wide but it’s beautiful here and everyone is very nice. We are in the Blue Water Marina taking a break and enjoying the amenities. It seems official…we have a window to cross back to Florida tomorrow…so we are planning to take off about 7:00am and head for West Palm Beach.

Tourism and immigration offices:

Customs building:

We went through the Bimini Museum which was very nice and informative. Richard Nixon, Martin Luther King, Hemingway, Olympic athletes, big game fishing, it was very interesting:

Then we walked the island:

Walked along the beach road:

Went to the Dolphin House:

…but the cannon was very menacing so we didn’t go in…

Big Game Club:

We could have used a whopper, even a small one:

We went to the bakery/lunch stand and had a wonderful meal of baked chicken, rice and potato salad. Now we are back at the boat, sitting in the cockpit enjoying the afternoon. Looks like an afternoon rain. Next update will probably be from Florida.

Until then…
