Bimini

12/31/19

What a difference a day makes. I had a hard time shaking the motion sickness feeling. I literally was in bed at 7:45pm and pretty much slept for 11 or so hours. Woke up feeling like a new person. 

Here we go, let’s fix the solar panels frame. It took some work but thankfully Eddie is persistent and he build it so he knew how it goes back together. We got to a point where we needed help lifting the frame into its spot. Our boat neighbor had offered to help and were going to be available later on. We took that time to walk into town.

We walked 1.5 miles each way to buy a Bahama SIM card for a spare phone. This will enable us to make calls in the Bahamas. Our My Island Wifi will let us wifi call to the US.

Along the way we found a few worthwhile stops. 

Ernest Hemingway’s house but he wasn’t home.

A walk through the Big Game Club Marina to the Neil Watson Dive Center. There they were feeding bull sharks and people were going down in cages to have bull shark encounters. 

These big boys have a reputation of being one of the most dangerous sharks to humans. 

Joes Conch Shack  for ceviche which they call salad here, Lobster for me, Conch for Eddie. where we got conch and lobster ceviche for our New Year’s Dinner. 

Eddie found fresh bread from Charlie’s, his grandmother’s recipe! He said it was sweet like challah. 

And back at our Marina. 

We had a lovely New Year’s with Bahamian music from the nearby bar, quiet dinner in our salon by fake LED candle and romantic dancing in the cockpit.

Happy 2020 everyone!
