    • Shoaling in Bimini Entrance Channel

      This warning has been posted on several websites including AGLCA’s Forum. The author is not very specific about the location of the shoaling, so we have to assume the shoaling is somewhere in the main entry channel between North and South Bimini.

      Attention to boaters coming to BIMINI, Bahamas. Last week storm shoaled the channel entrance and now it’s 5′ at low tide instead of 10′. I almost get stock this morning at 5 am and with the swell, not nice when your boat is bouncing on top of sand bar while you tried to get out of there’¦ If you know anyone coming this week, tell them to arrive at high tide until they dredge the channel again.

        I was over in BIMINI April 18th & 19th & they had installed a new buoy on the Port side.

        That being said if you favor the Starbd side going in, it shouldn’t be a problem as I draw 4’6 & I was fine at low tide
