Bimini





















We were able to find dockage at the Bimini Bay Resort..We were not aware that this was






off season, so there was lots of room! By the time we got settled in and my Captain was happy , for the moment with the lines, it was late afternoon and the wind had really picked up. Winds were very strong thru the nite and continued more so during the day Friday with very strong horizontal rain.. Needless to say, we did not get golf cart and tour Alice town.. not yet..I will attach a pic or two of what it looked like in the bay/channel where we are docked.. So Happy we made dockage here for protection... The winds died down a little early morning, but still very strong... We did get a cart today, Saturday 19th and tour Alice Town. Not quite what we expected, but still interesting... We had lunch at Capt.Bob's and enjoyed grouper fingers and lobster roll... The town is to have a Christmas celebration tonite at the market and we will check it out... As for our departure here, waiting on that safe weather window.. We believe it will be Monday and will head out, possibly, for the Berrys.. The fun thing is that we don't have an agenda and are free to choose where....the when is Mother Nature dependent... We met two very nice Canadian families that have been underway for two months from Montreal!! Now that's a haul..They are out for 5yrs and the other couple are out for 8 years.. they have children on board that they are home/boat schooling..Where we are docked, The Bimini Bay Resort, is awesome.. It's a relatively new marina/resort with all the amenities one could ask for... it's just empty...The staff said their busiest time is June thru September... Go figure.. that's Hurricane Season... They have state of the art dockage, heated pools, shower facilities with teak and tile to die for.... uh, just don't drink the water!!!!!!!!! rum is good......... More news at 11***********
