Bahamas Chatter: “Cruisers Giving Back” plus 1 more
Cruisers Giving Back
Posted: 03 Feb 2016 08:33 AM PST
After the devastation that Hurricane Joaquin brought to the southeastern islands in the Bahamas, it is encouraging to see so many cruising yachts coming to help. Not only are they bringing lots of supplies, mainly for the schools, but they are also putting in their sweat equity as well. At Salt Pond, cruisers anchored in Thompson Bay have been helping out with putting on new roofs at the Midway Inn, the Oasis Bahamas Youth Network facility, the Farmers Market, and others. Landed locals have helped organize the work parties with tools and equipment, plus transportation and meals.
Good on ya, Mates! Keep it up.
We know that there are many other examples of CRUISERS GIVING BACK, and we’d like to hear about them from you. It is inspiring to us all to know how people are stepping up to help people in need.

Good news on fuel prices. Across the board, prices are down. The new monthly Explorer Fuel and Dockage survey is posted on our website www.explorercharts.com.
Please note that not all marinas responded to our survey request for new information. They are highlighted in red on the survey so that you will know the prices are not necessarily current.
As always, we appreciate the individual reports you send us to keep this survey updated. Send an email to sara@explorercharts.com for any new prices you find as you travel along these beautiful islands.
