• Looking for some Bahamas suggestions from those of you who have been there
  • Money?
    • Hi Dave, good questions...
    • Did you tell us what kind of boat this is, the draft, and so on ...
      • Good point! I usually get too wordy, so was trying to be brief...
  • I presume that he's doing this during the prime season?
    • Not sure yet...
      • My part in this is to advise, help prep the boat, and help get it there...
        • (Of course I hope to cruise The Bahamas someday too, so maybe I can use the info then myself
        • If you're advising him on where, I think he's going to have to deal with the huricane season issue(s) or go "naked"
          • I hear what you're saying and appreciate the input
  • Bahamas
    • Thanks, David! That sounds pretty good
    • No real difference....
    • Having been there and done that, my
      • 5' 6" is Deep Draft?
  • Well, I'm ready to be attacked - Nassau
    • Sorry Chris, bad choice, I'll go with David ...
      • No worries.. not a "bad choice" but "another choice"
        • Another vote for Nassau. Not my favorite place in the Bahamas, but certainly no "dump" either IMHO.
          • When were you there last Blye?
            • Admittedly it's been awhile. I was there in 2003 last, but have been coming and going since 1970.
            • Oh Ya! Saw your "end of the runway" thing on your blog and here. Here's a Bonaire runway video I did last year.
          • It's great to hear options and opinions.
            • You say it all about "sailing destinations" CCA.
              • Flying and sailing
                • Stocking Island Moorings
                • I was More commenting on the "negative reviews" Nassau gets more than the want to keep a boat there.
                  • That is a good point ... if your client is talking about the winter months ...
    • Abacos and Draft
      • Ha! about the Hobie cat. At least with 5'5" he won't be the one guy with the deepest draft. Good info thanks
        • I don't think I'd pick Nassau as my first Bahamas destination ...
  • Thanks everyone...
