Feb. 16, 2005......Day two of "the Bimini trip".....just as anticipated the day broke with lazy morning clouds and the water waking to the glass-like clearness that you see in a postcard......coffee was the first order of the day....then the men began some maintiance duties, each one from Captain Mark, to Tim, and Mike disappearing into the engine room to make friends with the auto pilot that choose to take a little break for the trip to Bimini......after about 2 hours of bonding with the nuts and bolts of it, it still decided to let the crew be the pilot.....Capt. Mark will have that project to work on when we return to Miami......so Back to the lovely day ahead on the island. Tim, Mike, and I went ashore.....a laid- back culture....much of the town stores were closed for an afternoon nap. We checked out the Earnest Hemingway house and museum.....now also a tavern nlooked to be in his 40's and early 50's in most of the photos almost all of them with a Marlin fish by his side. The island itself is very narrow and we walked over the hill and are captivated by the amazing blue green waters of the Atlantic....gorgeous!!! The people all seem to be in their own world of rules and no rules.....no worries.....I wonder which shop sales that lifestyle ......the States could sure use a big dose of that potion!!!!! Back to the Stray Cat and Captain Mark, turned Captain Mechanic......Mike and I began the supper preparations....fresh dolphin from yesterday's catch....rice,more veggies and a Key lime pie finale, accompanied by excellant fellowship. We all retired about 11:30 with memories made of a delightful day in Bimini. Until tomorrow.......
