STILL VERY WINDY HERE IN BIMINI

This is dredging going on. This backhoe moves backwards a
couple of yards, good-bye! Deep water just behind it.
They are constantly dredging the waters so a "path" is made
from the big water to Bimini Sands Resort and Marina.
We are still here in Bimini and still very windy, blowing over 22 mph! Did chores this morning, walked into the town to see more then came back to freshen up. Off we went to Bimini Bay Resort and Marina for lunch. Yesterday we took our dinghy to this resort to check it out. This is a very large resort BUT with the economy they are suffering. Not too many people staying there. The marinas were only 20% filled. There are two marinas and with a multi-million dollar facility it is too bad so many docks are empty. We docked our dinghy and spoke to the dockmaster, wandered around the small stores for awhile and asked about coming today for a lunch out. No problem, he said. So, now today, we left here at Big Game Club around 12noon and docked our dinghy once again. The pool restaurant was the one to go to, so a nice walk there and we had a wonderful meal. This restaurant was at the vanishing pool. Spectacular view!

This is not an all-inclusive resort. This is a pay as you go (or charge to your room). This resort offers, ownership, rentals and holiday packages. Paul and I have said if we come back to Bimini we will stay here for a few days too. It is wonderful!

This is the pool at Big Game Club
We like it here, small and reasonable
Such friendly people


How many boaters does it take to change a lightbulb? None, because the right size bulb isn't on board, the local marine-supply store doesn't carry that brand, and the mail-order house has them on back-order.
