Bimini

It was finally time to get started on the Bahamas adventure. At 7:46 AM we departed Coral Reef Yacht Club with much excitement and a plan to meet "Sno' Dog" and "Improv",  two other PDQs while crossing the Gulf-stream.  We made contact with Sno' Dog over the VHF but never saw them until we arrived at Browns Marina 4.75 hours  / 54.34 NM later.

 3 PDQs in a row: Henry and Nancy with Sno' Dog , Dave and Elaine with Improv – 

We watched amazed the needle fish and other bait fish swimming around the boat in the clear blue water.

It is really true, you can see clear to the bottom in 6 ft. of water.

A 15 minute walk to Customs to get our 90 day cruising permit and fishing license ($ 150.00) , Immigrations to get the passport stamped, and it was time to get some famous Bahamian bread at the bakery. The bread did not disappoint.

On the way back to Moonstruck Henry spotted a water spout.  

Tomorrow is an early departure for Chub Key. We Did It, we are in the Bahamas!
