Last Port of Call , Bimini

Hi F&F 
You know the routine now, up early for better sea and wind conditions.We  departed at 7.30 am. This was to be a four hour journey to the fishing Mecca of the Bahamas!
Again those great following seas , easterly's and it was a pretty straight forward run Graeme was lead oat and we plotted the course somewhat conservatively as none of the three couples had been there before. As we entered into the last stretch where all the marinas are located there was quite a strong head wind and current.Still we managed to safely get into the Big Game Resort and Marina comfortably. We are now in Testosterone city! All the big fishing boats and groups of men and young blond ladies. Had a very nice lunch at the marina restaurant overlooking the water, then we went to explore the town.Not a lot here but the surrounding waters were  an incredible color.Almost an azure  blue The small straw market was selling the usual  bright lime green , yellow and orange T shirts with Kalik ( local beer ) written across them. Also the little straw  bags and swimming apparel.
Decided we would do a last dinner on the boat, so at 7 pm the group got together on the Lady Erica
for a nice meal prepared by Nancy and Linda. Still debating what time to leave tomorrow as weather is pretty blowy and wet.We will sleep on it!
Over and Out
