Thanks for putting up the photos Rick and yes there was wind and there were waves, with all the gear we were carrying there was no room for toys, the wind was a steady 15 kts side off shore, a rocky outcropping about a half mile off Bimini Bay was holding up a long, hollow left, about three feet, must have been peeling a hundred yards, all I could do was watch

I just came across some old Bimini clips and thought I would post them here to keep track.



A fairly long 1991 documentary on Bimini, a bit trite in spots but with some interesting views from that time.

A flight on Chalks in 1991 from Miami to Bimini. It captures some of the sensations of this remarkable way of crossing the Straits.



A more recent clip from 2011 with an historical overview of Bimini and colorful characters from over the years. Piccolo Pete is interviewed, I can recall hearing him perform at the Complete Angler from the early 1970's and on.



An old IGFA clip about tuna fishing in the Biminis



The ending of "Silence of the Lambs" with Dr. Lector strolling down an unusually busy street scene in south Alice Town.



Here is a collection of 84 early movie clips from all over the Caribbean, not necessarily Bimini but worth looking over.

Great shot JP! I ran into a small hammerhead off shore of that point at the top of the frame. It is an interesting out of the way island.
