Jan 20 - Bahama Banks

 After a 2 day stay it was time to move away from Bimini. Our next destination is Nassau, but the distance is to far for a 1 day travel. The option is to stay at Chubb Cay or anchor out on the Bahama Banks. Since the weather was so nice we decided to take the anchoring option. Our departure from Bimini was with a wonderful sunrise. On our way out of Bimini we cruised by the Sapona Wreck. It is an old Ferro Cement ship that grounded and has become a popular snorkeling site, and of course graffiti. The water is so clear and only 15 to 20 feet deep along the banks and you can see the fish and starfish as you travel along. Our anchorage was nice an quiet, and a sailboat joined us a little while later for the night. And of course our day ended  with a spectacular sunset.

Jan 18 - Crossing to Bimini, Bahamas

 Early morning wake up and the weather is ideal for our crossing to Bimini. Glorious sunrise and a few passing ships along the way, and 8 hours later we are in Bimini. We were able to get a slip for a couple of days at Browns Marina. The first task of course was to check in with Immigration and then Customs to obtain our cruising permit and fishing licence for our 3 month stay. We were docked next to my named boat. After that if was a walk about Alice Town and obtain or BTC Sim card for the phone so we can have phone and data while in the Bahamas.
