Now, that's impressive. How did you find your way into
Bimini with no chart?

you look at the two sticks on the beach and sail toward them, then hang
a port and stay in the deep part -

you should have had charts. that wasn't really all that smart:-)

After the boat was stripped the owner declined to buy his
stuff back from the locals.

the way in is easy - its getting there that counts. Didyou ever hear
the story of the 5 doctors and the hattares? They used an atlas to try
to go from palm beach to bimini and they found the guys near dead
abouta week later, 300 miles off burmuda!

We'd sailed off Ft.Pierce for a couple of years before the
ill-fated trip. We left Bimini in the morning and arrived
off FP the following morning. It was the best part of the
whole trip! Oh, and they stole the compass...

We flew:^)
It was when the Coast Guard found the boat aground there
after the Hurricane Trip.
