A morning stroll along the "Queens Highway" (runs parallel to the "Kings Highway) - essentially the only two roads on the island. Along the western shore of pristine, shell strewn beach. Enjoying Alice Town at a slow pace - keeping clear only of the golf carts. Intending to visit the museum - but closed, so past the Dolphin House - owned by Ashley Saunders (a school teacher and historian), past ruins of The Complete Angler hotel (Hemingway's old haunt) which burnt to the ground in 2006, the "End of the World Sand Bar" (clsoed) - and back to the museum - but unfortunately it remained resolutely closed all morning. Time to slip the lines and leave Bluewater marina for the last time. A short motor out into the bay of South Biminia Island and drop the anchor once again - in fact both anchors (just in case) - we didn't want a repetition of "bump bump" in the night again (on the beach at low tide)! Evening bbq, 3 giant dolphins (8ft lomg) swim gracefully by under the boat as we watched the storm clouds roll by over the Gulf Stream....
