A Little Bit More of Great Harbour CayA lot of restaurants on the island have gone under, no longer open for business. Carol and I had dinner here, the Rock Hill Restaurant. It looks better in the picture than it does on the ground; the food was Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Jan 7, 2012
Great Harbour CayWednesday was not a great day for either of us. Carol, the CFO for the trip, tried to use her Wells Fargo card and discovered that her card did not work; mine did. All the others did and this is Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Jan 7, 2012
Freeport, the Bahamas, #2With all of the stuff going on, we had been so busy enjoying the trip that we neglected to reflect on the fact that we actually made it to the Bahamas without mishap, almost getting run over by large ships Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Jan 4, 2012
Freeport, the BahamasThis was a strange stay at the Hall of Fame marina. First, on the south side of the dock there were only six boats, occupying less than one third of the slips. It seems like this should be the busy Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Dec 31, 2011

Sun, Sand, and SeaEveryone has that “go to” destination. That place you have been so many times that it’s like a second home. That place where you can get around with your eyes closed and where a trip requires virtually no planning. It’s Posted by vicki_h in Come With Me... | Dec 16, 2011
From the 'Old World' to the 'New World'...Twenty-seven hours. That’s a long travel day no matter how you slice it. Fortunately we were flying on another amazing airline (Qatar) with service that includes free bevies and on-demand movies. So, with relatively little suffering, we left the Posted by Baxters in Baxters' World Tour | Dec 7, 2011
Operation: Bahamas Although The Bahamas is Florida's Atlantic neighbor, It is overseas ,filled with culture, great food, and of course beautiful beaches. Most definitely not Americanized. In addition Posted by JerseyBoy88 in Travel with A. Perez | Nov 22, 2011
The Chronicles of Boracay Island: Island HistoryThe Island: It is an island truly beautiful, sometimes sinful, always controversial. This makes it intriguing and causes people to return again and again, if they cannot linger for a lifetime. Its rich History dates back in the early 17th-8th Century.

I'm on a BoatIt feels like I haven't updated this in forever so I was shocked to discover it's only been 3 days. Time moves a little differently on the ship(we aren't allowed to call it a boat); everyday is so packed with Posted by ksil91 in Captain's Blog | Jun 21, 2011
1st Stop BahamasAfter pulling an all-nighter packing and arriving breathless at my gate one minute before they would've given up my seat, I finally reached the Bahamas. Despite the dreary clouds, it was love at first sight. Everywhere I went there was Posted by ksil91 in Captain's Blog | Jun 18, 2011
It's Better in the Bahamas.Photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/42427255@N00/sets/72157626806280861/ I could see the apprehension in my mother-in-law’s eyes as we flew toward the tiny Marsh Harbor runway, a Posted by vicki_h in Come With Me... | Jun 14, 2011
A Contender for Worst Boat Day Ever There just seems to be some sort of negative entropy associated with Carol and me, the boat and the Berry Islands. It’s OK for good stuff not to happen; it’s difficult when only bad stuff happens. On Wednesday evening there were Posted by sailziveli in Innocents Aboard | Apr 16, 2011
10 Southern Caribbean on the Star PrincessWed. night we set sail from Ft Lauderdale on the Star Princess. This is my graduation cruise since I became a Commadore with them after taking an intense online course.

Coming Back!There is so much more to tell. We met many interesting Bahamians as well as other cruisers, swam inside the fish filled Thunderball Grotto on Staniel Cay, swam in an above-sea-level cave in Farmer’s Cay in which a bucket left Posted by Wojaj in Sailing in the Bahamas | Aug 1, 2008
The Bahamian PerspectiveI have heard that the slave background has slowed Bahamian initiative, but I find the Bahamian spirit to be independent and self reliant while ‘easy going’. Taking life as it comes; probably due to the seasonal, opportunistic, and sometimes dangerous Posted by Wojaj in Sailing in the Bahamas | Jul 15, 2008
Fish FryThere is a ‘Fish Fry’ every Friday night at Governors Harbor. It is right on the beach just across the street from the public library. A low wood wall encloses the cooking area. On Fridays it is covered with a Posted by Wojaj in Sailing in the Bahamas | Jun 22, 2008

Conch SaladThe best way to describe conch salad is probably to just tell the story of my first taste. Lars had taken Kelvin, Joe, Stephanie and me on a fishing trip during which we had caught a mahi-mahi and a football Posted by Wojaj in Sailing in the Bahamas | May 25, 2008
Avoiding ScurvyAnother disease that sailors have to watch out for in addition to ciguatera is scurvy. In the old days it used to be a serious plague for sailing ships until they found that consuming citrus fruits kept it at bay. Posted by Wojaj in Sailing in the Bahamas | May 11, 2008
HuntingHunting, as apposed to fishing, is done with a hand spear. Not a spear gun; which is illegal in the Bahamas. At the nautical flea market I had bought a 5’ spear handle and then got an 11 3 prong Posted by Wojaj in Sailing in the Bahamas | Apr 27, 2008
Fishing -Kill them; eat their fleshI have been told that the yearly $300 collected by the Bahamas per boat is really a fishing license. Well this year I got back more than $300 just in mahi-mahi alone. And that’s at grocery store, not restaurant, prices. Posted by Wojaj in Sailing in the Bahamas | Apr 13, 2008
