- In this video we sail into Bimini and anchor to wait out gale conditions then head onto shore to explore this beautiful island in the Bahamas. A local gives us a full tour from top to bottom. Find out how to check into immigration and how much that costs. What's it really like here?

great video !
thank you for your content! Aladdin is sooooo sweet! Thank you Aladdin for the tour!
Awesome. A good tour guide is priceless. Thanks for taking us along for the ride
Thanks for the info on the island. Tour Guide was awesome!
Love the tour and info about the island and the area. Buy that man some lunch.. or one of them Conchs. I'm a trucker and have been down on the Rickenbacker at the Miami Marine institute.. Arrived on a friday.. dropped the dropdeck trailer while they loaded it over the weekend.. So I went SCUBA diving at Quiescense dive center in the Keys. Took the load back up the I-95 to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institue, RI. So I wasn't zoomed in enough to the google maps and didn't see Bimini.. So I went to Wikipedia.. Silence of the lambs is one of the mentions on the page. I'll have to try and find it online and watch it again.
Cool video Capt.
Aladin is Awesome!
I'm moving onto my little Cape Dory Typhoon Weekender in a week..... I know small sailboat but that's what I got for now.
I've never sailed outside of the United States even though I've lived in West Palm Beach most of my life......I know...crazy.
But soon I will change that....God willing.....and yes I'm adventurous or crazy....probably both to cross the gulf stream on a 19ft Sailboat!
Bimini looks like a first good stop.
I'll be in Miami soon, so I hope to meet you. Your a Cool dude.
Thanks for the awesome videos!
Sail on!
Thanks for sharing captain. Until next time. Cheers 🍻
Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks for the tour
Another great vid Mike ! Keep them coming !
Love these videos man, awesome to see you made it to Bimini! 🤙
Great video ❤
I enjoy your videos for several reasons. First you seem “real”. As a relatively new sailer, I don’t feel like you’re talking down to me. When you have problems, I like to see you work through them. I know I will experience them all soon enough. Keep up the good work.
I appreciate your sentiment. I want to shoot sailing videos I wanted to see when I was just starting out. Buying a boat and dreaming of sailing around the world. I hope someone out there learns from my mistakes. And enjoys some time at sea from home..
Great tour Aladdin.
Good to see you've crossed safely.

Welcome aboard!
Sweet Video..
Great video! Thanks! Loved Aladdin and learned a lot.
Well done lovely video
Great video, last time I was there in Bimini was 51 years ago with my family on a 48 foot sports fisherman as we did different islands throughout the Bahamas. I can remember fishing off the dock with baloney catching red snapper, as my dad was in having drinks with Hemingway‘s brother at the bar at the marina. Keep the good work up and be safe.😎👍
Legendary! I imagine things are different now even I have seen changes since last season.. Good for Bimini the people here are very special happy humans!
Keep on keeping on!
Nice work, Mike! Each new video tops the last. You're really excelling. Including others like the cat guy and Aladin adds diversity and boosts production value. Can't wait for what's next!
“The old man and the sea “ was written by Ernest Hemingway in 1951 in Cayo Blanco (Cuba) and published in 1952.
Great video! keep them coming!
woow awsome vid and many thanks to aladan for the tour of all the vids i watch most are how to sign never any history of the Island Great Job Bring on more of this
Thanks digital crew member! Together we will sail across the great Bahama bank!! Next episode! Cheers mate..
Great video Michael. Looking forward to the next one😀
I came across your channel and found it interesting. Subscribed to learn what it takes to sail the Caribbean. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us.
Welcome aboard digital mate!!
I grew up boating 35 foot pivor loadstar in the 80's . We did the Bahamas hope town and all diving down and getting loster and loads of fish. and I remeber sailing in to Bimini but they had us dock and put up a flag and they came to us. . Loved sailing around there and fla and the intercoastal waterway. I miss couch fritters.
Conk fritters are something else!!!! I bet Bimini has changed some what these days!! It's a real Paradise here..
@sailingEV888 my dad still captains . He's in Ocracoke now .He is the Sinbad. Sail in Blackbeard's Wake with Capt. Rob Temple schooner windfall. If you ever get up that far. Let us know :)
Awesome tours was great 1st time I've seen a tour of the interior of Bimini.
Great Video!! Thanks Alladin!!
Cheers mate!! Next video up Sunday! Tour of a brand new 63 ft yatch! Crazy! You will get to see how the other half live!
Great video! Keeping it real!
Congrats on the 4k+ subscribers! It's growing!
Thank you so much 😀
Love it! Hope you're having a blast my dude :)
Good luck down there!
The WILD MAN is back in the Bahamas !!! Congrats !!!
⚓️⚓️⚓️😅😅😅
Cheers digital crewman!! We will be wild and go into the wild! And sail beyond the baths of all the western stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️
Hey Capt.
Were you back in the States for more than 30 days?
The Bahamas previously allowed you to do one return to the Islands within 30 days on the same cruising permit without paying another entrance fee. We took advantage of that last year without issues.
Great tour of Bimini. I first went there 35 years ago. Had drinks in the old Complete Angler bar before it was destroyed. Has seen a lot of changes over the years with the casino and lots of development but still a cool place to drop anchor.
There is also a fuel station at the marina on south Bimini. Sometimes it is a little cheaper than the one at Blue Water.
Thanks for the heads up! Wish I had of known that info. I hope it shows my commitment to being honest bringing you all real content. I'm living my dream right now and it's going well. Fingers crossed 🤞
Thanks for commenting
Incredible video, what an island!
You are correct!
Great content sir.
Thanks digital crew member..
I hope to see those waters in person. Beautiful!
There is something special about being out here. It's so far away from the USA (a days sail) remote and wild. Something you will have to just see for yourself. I know I have 1000's of nm left. I'm by what is ahead of me. The great Bahama bank and beyond. All I can do is break it into categories and understand what I'm up against.. look at the weather then move forward..
Winds look terrible for days Mike. I hope you like hanging out in Bimini....don't make any enemies
Exactly me sentiment. Wind on my nose! I will not stir the bees nest..I'll try anyway. I report on what I see.. may I have restraint..
@@sailingEV888 You're in a boater's paradise....just enjoy. Patience is your best friend Mike with passaging. DO NOT head east until winds have gone to 180 AT LEAST [preferably 200]and below 12 knots for a half a day.
@@sailingEV888 A GREAT read for you is "A gentleman's guide to the Thorny Path" by Bruce VanSant - it's a wealth of boater's wisdom for navigating the Bahamas with comfort, peace and joy. Great info on anchorages, weather, fishing, provisioning etc etc.
Great vid!
Just came across your channel I love it man I would love to do this. Question are you ever concerned ppl will mess with your boat or dingy while you’re in town
Enjoy your videos and love those drone shots. What kind of drone do you fly to film?
Jim
Awesome video as always! Look forward to your episodes! Living on my boat here in Fl. getting her ready to get there!
Brian from SV Delos inspired me. I only hope you choose to hit that record button when things go wrong and post it! We all learn from lessons posted here..(I hope anyway digital crew) Ypur digital captain vows to record no matter what happens.. and sh#%t ALWAYS HAPPENS..
Thanks!
Thanks mate! Here I am wondering how I'm going to pull this off!! I have thousands of nautical miles left! From EV and I thank you mate! Welcome aboard! That 20 dollars will move this sailboat deeper into the Bahamas 🇧🇸. Cheers!
Nice! you finally made it to Atlantis! 🔱
Bro praying for ya... keep it up it will pay off!
Thanks mate. Appreciate th3 kind words. All I can do is try..
Great video
Thanks for the visit
I’m at Tahiti Beach sadly leaving in about a week. Would be nice to me up for a beer. Heading for Marsh Harbour Friday. Have watched almost all your videos.
Enjoy!
I’m quite positive that Hewingway’s “The old man and the sea “ happened in Cuba.
We should confirm this with historical evidence. I'd like to know. This is a truth vlog. Any reason why you say that?
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Old_Man_and_the_Sea
@@sailingEV888 I just read the book again a month ago. It definitely took place in Cuba
Rock On!!!
Cheers from Toronto 🤙
thx for the tour
Keep up that ALOHA!
Aladin is the best guide.
Sorry I didn't see this video earlier.. I could have helped you out on Bimini. You could have checked in at fisherman's Villiage (where the seaplane lands). You could have parked your dinghy ay FV dock.. If you're on Bimini and need a helping hand from a fellow sailor, give me a shout. Just ask anyone "I'm looking for "The Water Man".. BTW, Best ATM Bank machine is in the hotel lobby.
where you headed for hurricane season? If its up in the chesapeake, hit me up. Got all the insides
Do you have to go back to Canada to keep your health insurance active?
Alladin is a cool local 💪
Don’t anyways predict thunderstorm winds so go by what are seeing
We just did the same thing about a week ago! Now in hope town. Where are you?
What path did you take. I shot this video yesterday. Tell me the best route to hopetown!
@@sailingEV888we went through the grand Lucian waterway… it goes through Freeport. Unfortunately, you can’t make it with your sailboat. There are two bridges that are fixed 24’and the other one 35. We are on a trawler. Your best bet may be going to the berries and then going around.hole in the wall.
We call that a Florida snow storm.
Where do sailors from Miami bring their sailboats during hurricane season?
Indian Town marina. Watch this video
ruclips.net/video/hBC3DFTYdwE/видео.htmlsi=qLkc6OUhvgWqrJ9I
Those prices are insane, they charge for cruising around?
You maybe doing all this on a low budget..However...at least you are living your dream with a successful YT channel....
I hope you gave alladin a fat tip!
Yeew
Yeeeewww. Let's do this and sail beyond the baths of all the western stars 🌟 🤩 ✨️.
Very nice video. If your watching your money, stay away from Nassau. It was very expensive.
how much is the regular fee to enter Bahamas
ruclips.net/video/K-gPhjMfHMA/видео.htmlsi=EXq4hM5yB5dOB-GT
Watch this one. Detailed price info there.
Michael the wind apts
making a comment! :)
Legend!
I was here , I can finally die
I feel th3 exact same way sometimes. Then a voice says just a bit further...
Harry Pidgeon and Josh Slocum had it easier in some ways. Less formalities and more "just be there".
Harry pigeon? I will look into who that was. But Slocum is a legend I think of every single day out here..
Harry Pidgeon and his vessel "Islander". Good book, you'll love it. :-)
We should do a collaboration vlog
sorry to hear your funds are low. Its not easy I am sure to make $$$ on this platform!
All I can do is show what it is really like out here so those with similar intentions know what they are getting into..I only hope you find some value here..
do you have venmo?
This is my PayPal link. As a Canadian I do not have venmo. Any efforts make a huge difference
paypal.me/michaelpotts888?country.x=CA&locale.x=en_US
If you don’t know the story of “The old man and the sea “ maybe you should buy an RV instead hehehe.
😅😅😅 definitely!!
No shame in your boat bum game, 😅😅😅!! It’s expensive as hell to be a bum nowadays…
There is no doubt about that! I feel honored and a big responsibility as captain of this digital crew (my subscribers) to do everything possible to make this happen and bring you this content..

Great video

My dear Kim. I will fill with diesel in your name. Thank you so much! 💓 you always have my back! Thank you!
