Sherry's By the Sea

Friday we got a little bit of a weather break and decided to sail north to Bimini. We celebrated with the other two boats that made the crossing with us. Our US flag was torn to shreds after the crossing. We cut it up, signed it and gave all the boats that crossed with us a piece of the flag. Saturday, we took the bikes ashore for a ride and later walked to the beach. Bimini has a nice small town feel – in a sort of Caribbean Mexico sort of way. Everyone we saw while we were bike riding or walking greeted us and was friendly. That evening we went to Sherry’s by the Sea and had a delicious dinner of conch salad, fried lobster tail and red snapper. Sherry is quite a character. She cooks what she wants, when she wants in an open sided pavilion overlooking the Atlantic side of the island. A loud jam box provided the background and Sherry even came out from behind the counter and sang along with a few songs.
