Our first stop in many to come (we hope) North Bimini

We are here for the last few days.
Learning the Island time.
Mango Flavored Beer
Yesterday the mail boat came so we bought some fresh vegetables.
Bimini has no local food grow. They fish (I will tell you about this in a minute) and catch Conchs.
It is also a huge tourist attraction it has a resort with two marinas, Hilton hotel and many many rental houses.
We walked the island from one side to the other, and a cross (which is less than a 300' in most areas)
Our boat
The people here are very friendly, except when it comes to fish...
We learned that you cannot buy fish in the store, the only way to buy it is from the fishermen directly.
They go out every day, come back in the afternoon around 5, they clean the fish they catch and they sell it.
We also learned that it is very hard (impossible) for outsider to buy fish on the eve of Easter.
We walked yesterday to two places where fish are sold. We waited patiently and basically told - no fish for you. In one place one person bought two boat load of fish. Sigh.... I guess we will need to catch our on food.
The towns here are pictorials. I have attached a few photos, including an interesting beer we sampled (read - drank).
Last night dinner for the town
The water are amazingly clear. and with beautiful colors.
But we will move...
Our plans - weather depending.
Ocean View
Initially we thought to sail to West End in the Great Bahama Island, however, we will need to wait about another week for the weather window for this route. Another option we are looking at, is leaving late Saturday, going to the Berry Islands.
Stay tune and wish us well, as we expecting to get some big winds starting today that will last most of the next two days.
And for our Jewish friend - We are busy preparing for the Seder. Hani is cooking, we got all the Pesach (Passover) products before we left Florida, and we will celebrate our Seder.

Until next time, have a wonderful Pesach and Happy Easter
