As soon as the kids are out of school Memorial Day, we're taking our power cat from Ft Myers to Bimini around from the keys and then back through Okeechobee on the way home. About 16 days or so.
I have a couple questions that may be aided by your collective expertise.
Has anyone stayed at Ocean Reef Club without a member setting it up? At $6/ foot it's expensive but it is a nice place and worth it to me. Only been there by land in the past.
I see elsewhere that sailboats motoring at five to six knots drift about twenty five miles north across the stream so they set a course east or even ESE. I make 8 knots minimum so I presume much less drift, correct?
Has anyone cleared in at the Cat Cay Yacht Club? They indicate that non members can pay to stay one night and do the check in with Bahamian Customs.
Any advice on a quiet anchorage with beach access for kids anywhere around the Bimini chain? My wife sort of demands 1 night in a nice marina to each night at anchor, so Marina suggestions are welcome too.
Returning we plan to leave from West End and drift north to above Ft Lauderdale as we then need to get to Stuart to enter the ditch across the lake.
Any and all guidance appreciated.
Thanks!
