Speaking of Bimini food, here are the menus for Bimini Twist and Island Sushi.

@Rana loves the lobster, I had the Mahi Mahi, @Emma and @Gavin split the Shrimp Fettuccini. The Shrimp Fettuccini is huge. We enjoyed their leftovers as a side to fish we caught later in the trip.

If you want quick, tasty and inexpensive food Small's Deli is a short walk north of Bimini Sands near Booze and Screws. We did not have a chance to eat there but we heard from other Americans who highly praised their food. We mainly eat in the condo for breakfast and a late dinner and have lunch on the boat. We ate out three times during our 12 day trip in 2015 and once during our 2014 trip.

That Bimini bread is the bomb!
Bimini bread is available at the store at Bimini Sands. My families opinion is that it is good but not quite as good as the bread directly from the bakery on North Bimini.

We got to the Bakery a little late and took the last 3 loafs they had left last year.

Taste of Heaven Bakery is located across the street (west side of the road) from the parking lot on the south end of the Big Game complex. On the map below the road across from the parking lot it is labeled Queen's Hwy and it is the long(ish) building located from the second "e" to "H" of the Queen's Hwy label.

Yup! :)Oil/plugs are changed. Trailer is lubed. Installed a bow cover. Working on my flag pole mount that converts into an antenna mount for my 4' Shakespeare antenna. Hoping that the local dealer can finish up with my warranty issues next week (been working on it since November)... yup. :(

We are still looking into the best option for a grill.
My opinion is to not overspend on it.

We have a Magma Cabo which is a value priced Magma and we love it and it still works like new after two years of heavy use. I considered buying one of the other models which would have been twice as much and am glad that I did not.

I also like some of the smaller Kuumas.

Well last year @kthrash was kind enough to have some stickers made for us that did the Bimini crossing last year. Thanks to his help he designed the same sticker for this year but since he will not be joining us this year I went ahead and ordered them to print. I display mine from last year proudly on my tow vehicle and really wanted one for this year as well. Thanks @kthrash ! @Bruce since my schedule doesn't allow me to join you guys till mid week this year if you pm me your address I will mail them to you and you can distribute at the captains meeting if your ok with that.

I would love to contribute to get at least two of these stickers please one for the ski and one for the trailer please!!!
