This is a very rare scene here in Bimini someone decorating for Christmas note they have painted the trees white to get the snow effect


This is taken from the local take out, this is the actual seats and table people eat at. Vic is walking along the beach.

We packed a lunch and enjoyed it on this beach. There was quite a swell. No swimming today.


This is one of our favourite meals Whaoo, here you can see it just befor I eat it



Marilyn and I holding our supper, actually only part of this whaoo!!




This is a view of Whisper in her slip at the wharf in Bimini notice Vic and our lawn chairs.







Under sail and on the way heading for our last port of call, "No Name Harbour" Biscayne Bay in the USA


Since our last post we have put a lot of water under "Whisper's " keel. We left Miami midnight on December 11 for the trip across The Gulf Stream. This stretch of water is a real challenge. The stream flows north up to 4 knots therefore when one is only doing 5 knots a plan of attack is vital. It would have been a blessing to have a good moon but this time we were out of luck. Again one must remember that this is one of the busiest traffic lanes in the world. There were a lot of tense moments through the night but all in all we got across safe and tired. We are presently in Bimini, Bahamas, where rum is $9.00 a litre. Coke is $2. a can. Will be heading further south in the next few days.
