Laid-back Bimini gets a shot of new energy

Laid-back Bimini gets a shot of new energy - Travel - MiamiHerald.com: "`It literally is a foreign country,'' Freund said. ``But it's 50 miles and two hours in my boat.''

The Big Game Club resort, with six cottages that have two guest rooms apiece, 35 standard rooms and four penthouse suites, also includes a 75-slip marina, a restaurant and bar, freshwater pool and shop. Still to come: a fuel dock at the marina, fitness center and spa, a theater for lectures and DVD viewing, and conference space.

Because of its focus on conservation and Harvey's passion for protecting sharks, the resort has formed a partnership with a shark research lab on South Bimini so guests can learn more about the researchers' efforts."
