What good is stopping at Bimini when West
End is easier, safer, the channel is well marked, the officials friendlier
and it is far less crowded?

Thanks to an almost 4 kt boost from the Gulf Stream we were at Bimini
by late afternoon, perfect time to check in and get a good nights
sleep. We had no issue with the officials and tied up at the customs
house dock at no charge. In addition to that, we'd never been to
Bimini before.
