Bimini Bahamas, baby!

We made it! We hauled anchor at 5:00am today and headed for Bimini. The first 3 hours weren’t fun because we passed through a line of squalls. The rain wasn’t as bad as the sea state it created. Let’s say our bows got washed repeatedly in the 6′ seas we saw a lot of, and with a short period. In other words, it was a very choppy ride. Once we cleared those the seas calmed and the rest of the 10-hour crossing was very comfortable and beautiful. We even had a few dolphins play in our bow wakes for a few minutes!

We arrived in North Bimini around 3:30pm. The marina helped us dock, then Dave walked over to customs & immigration for a quick clear in, thanks to my having earlier uploaded all our forms and paid for the cruising permit using their new this year Click2Clear online system (well, new for private vessels).

We’re here for a couple of nights before we move on to Great Harbor Cay and then meeting up with friends in the Abacos.

So excited!
