Christmas in Bimini

Here is a shot of us enjoying Joanna's fantastic Christmas dinner dockside. We don't usually stay at marinas but this was a Christmas treat! Dinner at our own water front "restaurant" right next to the boat.



After checking in, we were able to pull down our quarantine flag and raise our Bahamanian courtesy flag . . .


We arrived in Bimini on Christmas Eve afternoon, in time to clear customs, take a swim and settle in for the holiday. Click here for photos.


Dropped a message in a bottle into the Gulf Stream as we crossed; the kids just finished reading a book called "The Voyager's Stone: Secrets of a Message Carrying Bottle Adrift on the Ocean Sea" and wanted to try their luck.

We're hopeful that Santa is keeping up with our travels and will managed to find his way to the Bimini Blue Water Marina to slide down our mast. The stockings are hung from the hatches with care; and the cookies, carrots and milk are ready and waiting right next to the gingerbread cottage and mini-Christmas tree.

Merry Christmas to all!
