Bahamas!

At approximately 2:30pm yesterday, we arrived at Bimini island in the Bahamas!

 
Our journey began at 6:45 am as we left No Name Harbor and turned southeast toward Fowley Rocks. 
We turned toward Bimini an hour later in 15-20 knot Northeast winds and 2-3 foot seas.  Thankfully, the rest of the trip was uneventful, minus the thrill of seeing cargo ships appear on the horizon, grow larger and larger...and larger, and then pass safely in front of u
Our total time on the water was just under 8 hours.

Clearing immigration and customs was another small adventure because someone (Tyler) was honest and answered "yes" to having a pet onboard and someone else (me) did not have the exactly correct paperwork....no surprise there.
The bureaucratic gods were smiling on us, however, and I was able to solve the situation with a last minute email this morning.  Lesson learned.

Now what?  We are very excited to anchor around Bimini today and snorkel and explore.  We may attempt a longer passage (71nm to Chub Cay in the Berry Islands- the longest passage we will make until 2014) tomorrow.
For now...as Cyrus said this morning, "Day 1 in the Bahamas has passed...Day 2 in the Bahamas has come!"
