Yep, we’re back! Had a great crossing from Bimini yesterday. Wind was about 6-8 knots; sea state about 1-2 feet, all on the starboard quarter, ie perfect conditions. Mind you we did wait a week for the weather window!!!
We spent our last couple of days in Bimini soaking up the sun at the pool at the Big Game club, enjoying a great “last supper” at the club. Started off by great cocktails, naturally and a great meal.
Sometimes, the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry!!
Yesterday, on arrival, like a good little boy, I phoned in our details to the US CBP (Customs and Border Protection) and was given the standard 24 hours for all of us to present ourselves in person to the nearest customs and immigration. This office is just a short taxi ride from our marina – 10 minutes maximum. Half the reason we came to Lake Worth was for the convenience of the location and hence the ease of sorting things out.
But, as I said, the best laid plans…. True to form the customs/immigration office close by is closed on Saturdays and Sundays So we have to take a taxi to the airport to check in. Man!!!!!!!
Today, it’s hot here but clouding over with a 40% chance of thunderstorms!!
Hi Lance and Mary! Glad you had a good crossing. Wanted to let you know the previous owners of your boat called yesterday to check on you; we reported that the boat is running great and that you are having a blast! Hope we will get to see you when you get up this way but we have to leave Saturday to help a customer with his boat. Will be gone 4 days at least.
