Some of us have spent many winters in the Bahamas and can suggest places you'll love if we know what turns you on. Do you prefer solitude or sharing an anchorage with fellow cruisers? Would you rather go to a nice restaurant or cook on board? Do you like to dive or snorkel? Would you rather visit a town with a population of 50 or 500?

Don't count out the Raggeds just yet. In the southern Raggeds you can, if you move around, get protection from any wind. The Explorer charts have made them accessible.
