Bimini Road Scuba Hookah

17 April 2015 | Bimini - North End
Helen
It was a slow overnight jib sail with everyone taking turns on watch, as it was too rough on the Banks. Arrived just after 6 and it was light enough to find an anchor spot off North Bimini. Then we anchored again, since there is a lot of construction and the noise and dust was too much for us. The dinghy was launched and we headed over to the mooring balls directly out from us. There we found the ruins, that some say are from Atlantis. It was most interesting and we snorkelled thru quite an area. Back to the boat for a rest as we were all tired from being up part of the night. After lunch, Mark drove Robert and Chris to shore. Mark and I headed back to the dive mooring with the Scuba Hookah equipment. We both got to scuba dive the same place. It was most interesting. Back to the boat, cleaning the equipment and by the time we were done, Robert was calling on the Hand Held radio. Back onboard, Robert helped Mark lift the dinghy into the davits, as the winds shifted which meant we were no longer protected. By the time they completed this task, the wind shifted back and we were again protected. The winds are light. We are planning to go to a marina tomorrow. That will give us an opportunity to visit Alicetown. There is ongoing construction on the beach from the new Hilton, as well as many standalone double storey houses. It's almost sundown and our SG&T's are gone, as we wait to do a bbq for dinner. Hope everyone reading this are doing well.

We are both computer folks that were live aboard cruisers back in the 90s. We settled in Jacksonville Florida after escaping the great white north and cruising the Bahamas, T&C, DR and points south down to Trinidad. [...]
Extra: Charabia is a French slang word for nonsense or gibberish. It derives from Arabic "sharab" which means alcohol.When you drink (too much) alcohol, you start talking Charabia. The original owners named her and Mark liked the name so it stuck.
