We did our second Covid test, an Antigen test, that took all of 30 seconds, most professionally done at the Bimini Javon Medical Center. We’re both negative, so we are now free to travel anywhere in Bahamas.

A good weather window had set in so we quickly upped our anchor and set off from Bimini, north of North Rock and across the Bank to the Tongue of the Ocean overnight.

Leaving Bimini, the Channel clearly marked with deeper water

We sailed overnight across the bank, and then all next day down the Tongue of the Ocean, stopping at Green Cay at 4pm.

We slept through to 2am and then up’s anchor for the final section of the Tongue, to get to Lark Channel - which is not often used, in daylight - just incase.

We followed 4 different electronic maps across Lark channel, to ensure we kept to the channel

Lark Channel ended up being wide and event free with depths ranging from 6 to 9 meters. No Bommies in sight anywhere.

We arrived at Bueno Vista late afternoon to a gorgeous sunset and a welcome nights rest.
