we were at shark lab in south bimini this morning @1000, saw the powerful thunderstorm there, found my battery compartment flooded with 0.5 inch rain, so does anchor and ski compartment, lucky is manageable !

we were at shark lab in south bimini

I found the Shark Lab "tour" to be quite disappointing. All they did was sit us on the beach and tell us about sharks and then take us to a small pen and show us a baby nurse and lemon shark. I was expecting something a little more.....

same here, we went honey harbour was much, much better fun and relax with natural, wild "real shark" will bite when feeding them, kind of waste !

Please keep up updated on the power situation while you are there. (your location - and any power interruptions and duration).

That does look like a nasty storm....they say a hurricane is brewing in the gulf.....hope it pulls all of that there!

Bimini big game has not had an outage the entire time we have been here. They have their own generators for when there's a power issue.

Sapona pics today, and Bimini Road

 

[AJack]

We stopped by that for some quick pics.

I’m going to take my kids to the South Bimini plane wreck around 3pm, then we’ll do some fishing around that area

 

[afsigma21]

I'm still crossing Saturday. Probably late morning as it looks manageable.

Might do plane wreck and possibly Honeymoon again.

Also, Thursday at 8pm, I'm at the casino bar at RW now

 

[afsigma21]

Throwing this out there, Saturday crossing later in the day is better, looking 12 noon possibly crossing.

 

[AJack]

Two of us are leaving at 0800 tomorrow, meeting at Blue Water Marina.

 

[Betik]

there is nothing wrong with leaving in the afternoon, except that the USCG has less of daylight time to find you if things go real bad.

 

[AJack]

Might have to delay the departure with storm overhead.

If you look on the west side of the island, the waves are 4’-5’ feet high crashing into the beach.

Let’s shoot for 1000, that’ll give time for the water to calm down a bit.

Please explain what you mean by this? Should we delay for a day?
