We are across the Gulf Stream and safely into Bimini, Bahamas. A relatively flat crossing that reminded us more of sailing the Great Lakes then ocean water. The trickiest part of the whole trip was getting into the harbour in Bimini. Not well marked and you need to watch both your chart plotter as well as your water colour. We watched another Canadian boat merrily sail aground after clearly not consulting any charts what so ever.
We cleared into customs and immigration easily and were on the beach to enjoy the amazing colour of the water, great sand, and snorkeling.
A front has just blown in losing the weather window that we sailed through. Kinda windy here now. Glad I'm not out on the banks.
Pictures to come when it's morning and the rest of the crew is up.
