Bimini: The trip that started it all

The Trip

A few coworkers invited katie and I to Bimini for a one day cruise on a short ship meant for speed.

We trekked to Bimini w bloody marys and good seas for a few hours of island adventuring.

For those who havent been, its a small seven mile island with a handful of locals. The water is a pristine blue and the conch is plentiful.

It was the first time for me on a cruise ship and first time on a non-Jamaican island.

It was easy to take pictures here.

The History

  • Myths surround the amazing island as they say this is where the "Fountain of Youth" lies as well as the lost "City of Atlantis" sits due to the slabs known as the "Bimini Stones".
  • Ernest Hemingway made a home in Bimini and wrote two of his novels while staying there. 
  • But most notably the island is renowned for the big game fishing where numerous tournaments are housed
