Well, we tried to escape Bimini today. We had a decent weather forecast, we had a plan for getting out with the tides, and we had a pretty good idea where the exit channel was (its not marked and it moves around).
We left with three other boats. We were the third one going out. It was blowing 20 knots out of the SW into our faces. Big waves coming up the channel towards us. Zephia was pretty much eating up the waves, we were thrown around but fine. I was more worried that the channel - where I thought is was - was deep enough for us to go through without bouncing off the bottom. We never did hit bottom. But the first boat turned around - we kept going... Then the second boat turned around - and we kept going... Pam looked behind us and no one was following us - so we decided to turn around too... Maybe we should have kept going...
But we're back at our anchorage and its beautiful.. We'll try to get out and on our way another day!
