Chub Cay to Bimini to North Palm Beach, Florida - Bye, Bye, Bahamas

The winds have calmed and crossing to Bimini via the North Channel goes smoothly (74NM). We anchor at a nice little bay in front of Bimini and have a quiet night on the hook. Morning brings unexpected showers but not a great deal of wind and we are once again in clear skies within the hour. It is a good reminder of how to use our radar system and fog horn. Larry puts the fishing line in and catches a small Mahi Mahi, which he kindly releases to grow a bit bigger. We enter the Lake Worth inlet to crazy-busy Saturday marine traffic…sport fishers flying by, jet skis jumping boat wakes, paddle boarders & kayaks floating in the channel…who knew the most challenging part of the cruise would be getting from the inlet to the North Palm Beach Marina (77NM)

Bye, bye Bahamas…we will miss you
