ALICE TOWN, BIMINI Well, Bahamas Customs let us in!  We took a slip at the Bimini Blue Water Resort - $1/foot - $10 electric.  Water is .25/gallon - but we don't need any.  We're only staying the night.  Once we cleared in, we walked ...

Observation: Cruising Styles I notice we've had about 1100 hits on this blog - far more than the 20 or so people we've set it up for.  So if any of you are considering doing this but not sure if you've got it all together - here is a small ...

... We will watch the lighthouse light up tonight and toast Tommy - Tim and Dianne's dear friend who loved boating, rum and the Bahamas.  We know we would have enjoyed his friendship because of the company he kept.  Friends are precious.  When ...

April 7, 2009 - Norman Pond    We are sitting here at anchor in 15' of water and it is blowing like crazy.  Winds are picking up 20-25 kts and we are very glad we're in this protected anchorage.  Any boats anchored with any western ...

We arrived a little late and the tide is already rising already about to hide the sandbar. We did not stay too long because of the tide, water was fast rising on top of the sandbar..... better luck nect time.

I am too tired from the day's acitivity, so let me just upload the pictures for your viewing. No words can describe the excitement even without the waves that we really needed to bodyboard. Well, hey, this is not California. Enjoy!
