Rain and a cold front have caught up to us. A high of 15 C today with rain and clouds hanging around all day. The morning is coffee, breakfast and vacuuming with a bit of a wLk to see the ocean waves pounding the beach. The Daytona 500 and the Infinity Nascar races are on today after a rain out yesterday. We spend the day coming g around and watching TV.
Feb 20 – the rain stopped late yesterday and the winds are not gale force anymore. With that in mind we jump in Otter, the dingy, to head to the low tide shoal in the basin between the 2 Islands of North and South Bimini. We find a large queen conch, some shells and critters running around. A small island is here so we make our way over and see the damage done by hurricanes to the beachside of the island. Conch shells lay everywhere from past decades of disposal of shells from harvesting. A sight seen along most shores here in Bimini by the hundreds of thousands. The sun is out but the temps are still cool. We head over to Stuart’s Conch Shack for a re commended rum drink to find he is closed on Tuesdays. Apparently Tuesday is the slowest day for tourists so a lot of places close for the day. He is there and sells us his home brew rum punch. Yes I highly recommend.
