Bimini finally

Well....here we are in the Bahamas.....at last. We left No Name Harbor at 2:50 a.m., and I hate leaving in the dark. There are boats anchored everywhere...some without anchor lights, and it is just scary. but....we made it out of the channel and while the wind was on our nose, we motored over to Bimini and arrived about 12:00. We convinced the dockmaster to leave all three boats at the end of the T dock...the best place to be and all the boats with reservations had to go to the inside slips. We told him we would help them all dock...and we did; but there were some really bad sailors...no dock lines ready, lost control of their boats....it was crazy! Bimini is a busy, but rural island. We walked the couple of streets and there is a great beach. We plan to stay until Monday as a big "BLOW" is to come through tommorrow. We bought local lobster tails as our dinner, and each boat made a dish, and we shared dinner in our cockpit. This is a great way to live...it is half the work...or actually, one third the work for everyone! We plan to go to church tomorrow morning...which is always an interesting and uplifting experience. So.....we will now be able to start exploring the Bahamas as boaters....which is very different from a resort visit. Nanc
