We're In Bimini for the week end with a dock neighbor... Forecast called for 2 to 3, ESE 12kts. As usual, it was off and we were taking heavy spray over the FB (59 marquis)

Bimini Big Game has indeed changed ownership and is no longer a Harvey outpost, but if anything staff seems even more eager. Pretty busy here this week end. Exvellent wifi, works without booster
Dredge is working in the channel, they have a pipe between the dredge and the SoBim beach so you must pass on its west side. It seems that the sandbar is still expanding further into the channel, read the water and don't turn too early.

When we crossed the bank to West End we were greeted by 3-5 out of the SW upon leaving the bank by Indian Rock. It was fun for the 10 minutes or so that it lasted. Anything more would have genuinely sucked.
But in 55+ feet it's gotta be fun!

It was just a stupid useless raymarine alarm about the track capacity...
18kts... Just fast enough to stay on plane without slamming
