Day 151 Dinghy ride to the “ritzy” side of Bimini

 


Delicious restaurant called three sisters, but like most Bahamian stores there is no sign, so you just have to kind of assume it is the restaurant from what you saw on Google maps, and walk up to the front door.

Our dinghy parking spot for the restaurant.

Typical pen for conch as they await for customers to eat a conch salad

Jessica and I had a nice lunch at Three Sisters restaurant. We both had mahi, never before fried like this but nonetheless it was delicious. Then Jessica and I took a dinghy ride to the ritzy side of Bimini today where it turns into a different world. We saw the casino, new homes, being built, fancy shopping areas, tourists getting off the trolley from the cruise ship. We saw the college spring breakers as they were waiting on their ferry to leave Bimini.  We walked by the casino, but decided it was not for us. Then, Jessica saw the ice cream sign!! We have not had our favorite mint chocolate chip ice cream since coming to the Bahamas, so we walked into the touristy ice cream shop and it was so fancy they did not even have ice cream, only gelato. However, we were so full from our mahi lunch that we decided we would come back another day and try the gelato. Then we went over to what I call Conch Shell Beach and spent some time with Alli. This is an island where they have dumped tens of thousands of conch shells through the year. Jessica mentioned that the conch island looked a little different without the piece of driftwood that we took yesterday as a souvenir.😊

After nine months of planning and preparation, we finally left the dock today. Today is our two year wedding anniversary. Thanks to Chris for surprising us with coffee and donuts in the clubhouse this morning. Paul threw the dock lines on Methuselah, and Debbie and Chris took some pictures as we left Blackbeards. We will celebrate our anniversary on anchor in Beaufort tonight.

Day 3

  We got a good night sleep despite the gunfire from Camp Lejeune.     We woke up to beautiful sunny skies and we made our way with following winds and tides down to Wrightsville Beach where we met my good buddy Dennis at the dockside restaurant for a late lunch.    Picked up a Mooring ball at Carolina Beach and had a nice stroll on the boardwalk with Allie testing the bark collar….she wore out the battery!    We hope by the time we get to the Bahamas, she will be used to people and dogs in strange towns.

  Left this morning from Beaufort with a cool motor down the intercoastal waterway past Swansboro and ended up anchoring in mile hammocks Bay at Camp Lejeune. At times the motoring got a little monotonous so we decided to play with the WebCam and get these    cute pictures.    Tomorrow, the weatherman promised us the sun!
