First of all, another hearty thanks to freelance photographer Captain Jon Cooper ( 1-954-592-9638 ) for all the magnificent visual imagery of the magical and historically-resplendent island of Bimini as well as its newest flagship resort and destination, Bimini Bay Resort and Marina.
The first image is the omnipresent grillfish stand that offers the freshly-prepared delights of conch salad, fried fish, grilled lobster, conch fritters and ice-cold Kalik beer. These dishes seem to taste best when consumed at these roadside eateries, particularly after a solid day of fishing around Bimini.
The next three images are street and restaurant scenes of old Bailey and Alice Towns. I love these places- if you go there, I think you will, too!
The next image is of Ashley Saunder's famous Dolphin House, which is an artistic work-in-progress. He is a fascinating man who further builds on the dignity and standing of his family's famous name with his creativity in the arts and history- I feel he is the island's Picasso.
The next three images are of bonefish legend and icon Ansil Saunders, who guided Jerry Lavenstein to his 16 plus-pound bonefish world record. One is of Ansil's posing with an inscription by the wife of Martin Luther King, Coretta. The next two are of his hand-built wooden bonefish skiff, Jewel.
The final image is of Bimini bonefish guide, Eagle Eyes, posing alongside one of Ansil's bonefish skiffs currently under construction.
