Visual Piloting Rules must be used entering Bimini Harbor
Posted: 29 Feb 2020 05:49 AM PST
Both red and green buoys are now missing at the entrance to Bimini Harbor. The shoal extending south from Entrance Point of North Bimini continues to extend to the south across the entrance of the channel to the harbor. Boats attempting to enter the harbor are running aground more frequently because they are relying exclusively on GPS positions on chart plotters and not attempting to look at the water and go where the water looks deeper. Visual piloting must be used here and is more important than electronic navigation in this area and others in the Bahamas. The bottom is easily seen here with good light and weather conditions.
The Bahamas Government has a long history of not maintaining aids to navigation and this should not be expected to change.
Expect the shoal to slowly continuing to move south.
