Boating to the Bimini Islands
The Bimini islands in the Bahamas are a source of legends and larger-than-life characters. During the American Civil War, the Confederates used Bimini to get past naval blockades. During Prohibition, smugglers bound for the US loaded their boats with bottles of rum. When he wasn't big game fishing, drinking or brawling, Ernest Hemingway wrote To Have and Have Not while he lived here in the late 1930s. It also served as a hideout for Congressman Adam Clayton Powell during a congressional investigation in the 1960s
