BIMINI World-Class Fishing, Diving, Drinking and Smuggling
Bimini, just 81km (50 miles) off the east coast of Florida (and the setting for Hemingway's Islands in the Stream) lures the big-game fisher, the yachter from Miami, and even the drug dealer from south Florida. (The proximity to the Florida mainland helps make drug smuggling big business here.) Bimini is home to world-famous sportfishing, excellent yachting and cruising, and some good scuba diving. Anglers will find seas swarming with tuna, dolphinfish, amberjack, white and blue marlin, swordfish, barracuda, and shark, along with many other varieties. Bonefish are also plentiful around the flats off the coast of Alice Town, the capital, but the blue marlin is the prize. (Bahamians think so highly of this fish that they even put it on their $100 bill.) Scuba divers can see black coral trees over the Bimini Wall and reefs off Victory Cay. Bimini is still known as the big-game fishing capital of the world, and fishermen still come here throughout the year to fish in flats, on the reefs, and in the streams. Ernest Hemingway came to write and fish, and here, he wrote much of "To Have and Have Not". This novel, put Bimini on the map. .....

Norbert Kox: Ex-biker, Outcast Artist, Visionary Surrealist (Click picture to go to his site)
Bimini is peopled by eclectic personalities- the fishermen and smugglers, the Hemingway scholars and the Hemingway compatriots, the lawless and the lovelorn. Part-time Bimini resident, Norbert Kox has a very unusual background, as well as producing some very unusual, great art. He ran with the outcasts of society, became a notorious outlaw biker. A vision was the key factor in turning his thinking towards spiritual matters. He became a recluse. For the next ten years he meditated, painted, and lived by himself in the woods near Suring, Wisconsin. He has had showings, all over the world, while developing an attatchment to Bimini, its people and lifestyle ....To see a slideshow of his unusual, Hieronymous Bosch-type paintings, go HERE.....for his website, go HERE... website........
