Bahamas (just thinking about it)

OK folks, put aside your advice about lifestyle and criticism of "commuter cruising".... I'm not ready to retire and cut the lines. The question is about where to leave a boat and when?

I'm thinking maybe in a year or two of taking the boat south to Florida and the Bahamas for the winter, and visiting the islands for 2-4 weeks at a time. Is that viable logistically, in terms of safe places to leave it in the Bahamas where there are good air travel connections? Any government issues? Of course we could find a place to keep the boat in south Florida and hop across to the near-Bahamas once in a while but we could go further if there are good places to leave it there.

Advice on whether that is practical?
