Well, we finally did move on..... but before we tell you about that, here are a few more shots about the dangers of cruising in the Bahamas. Harbor entrance channels are supposed to have red and green markers to show you the way and are usually very narrow. If you stray outside the markers you run the risk of going aground. The entrance to Bimini is supposed to have red and green channel markers to mark the channel. As we entered (and left) Bimini we found that there we no markers at all! In fact it was next to impossible to detect where we should be going. Luckily, we made it in and out fine. But, a few days later another boat was not so lucky.
Within a few hours a power boat was able to pull them off the reef.... but not without one of the crew breaking their leg and putting a hole in their boat. They were towed into Bimini and who knows how they will proceed from there.
