As I wake early today looking over Bimini bay from the back of my boat pondering the early departure to face the early ride home thanks to NOAA and her not so great forecast. Was wanting to leave tomorrow morning but sea building to 6+ and 25 knot winds not my idea of fun crossing the gulfstream so we are going to have a go of it early today and be back in Ft lauderdale by early afternoon before it gets too nautical. Anyway trip ended up great as usual, and this most likely is the last trip of this summer season as the northerly winds are definately starting to blow. Got in 4 trips (22 days in paradise) to the Bahamas this year and enjoyed every one of them. Already planning next years to Abacos and Exumas. But until then I will enjoy these memories.

Great photos and thanks for sharing them. One quick question--in that last pic shot off the stern, how deep is that crystal clear water?

I am looking forward to running with you next year!! I can’t wait to be in that crystal clear water and white sand beaches!
 
And we will be haunting the Abaco down through the Berrys and Exuma throughout next summer.
Hope we can all meet!
 
Here is a little video my friends wife made at Honeymoon Harbor feeding the stingrays.

Those lobster tails look sooooo good! Gorgeous water too.
 
Man that is some crystal clear water. Good for you Grant!
 
We just spent Christmas in and around George Town Exuma (Exuma Sound) and the cays. We rented a vila for the week, also rented a BW 21' to bounce around to the beaches, snorkel and hang out at Chat and Chill.
Lots of sail boats and some power boats on moorings around the amazing beaches of the Exuma Cays (keys).

Have any of you made the trip from Florida to Exuma? Some of the best water and beaches we have seen.

Glad to hear you had a great trip. Yes the Exumas are incredible. Planning a trip there in August if everyhting goes well with the earlier trip planned to the Abacos. Bring your boat and you can join us....
 
Thank you for sharing these wonderful pictures! It's nice to see that people continue to travel and relax on their boats despite the pandemic. I hope that soon you will be able to repeat these wonderful holidays. Last year, my wife and I went to Hawaii to see the local attractions, which we learned about on https://planneratheart.com/the-road-to-hana-stops/. This year, many states have again imposed various restrictions due to the threat of the spread of the virus, so I don't even know if we should eat somewhere. Does anyone have any ideas on how to spend the Easter holidays?
