Skipper Hugh is looking for 3 months storage in the Bahamas. If you are familiar with boat yards/marinas in the Bahamas, let us hear from you. In the meantime, we suggest that Hugh dig into Explorer Chartbooks, a SSECN Partner, for information on long term storage.
About to leave SW Florida for my first Bahamas trip on my 36′ monohull sailboat. Plan to sail through June or July 2016 and then find somewhere to leave the boat preferably on the hard. Any suggestions as to somewhere to be hauled for about 3months? Hugh Sea Otter Islander Freeport 36

What months are you interested in? We live in Freeport, off one of the finger channels along the Grand Lucaya Canal, about equidistant from the southern entrance and the bridge, 220′ dock, and 1 mooring. We live here, gated prioerty, with 2 BIG dogs. We have about 9′ depth at our dock. Our MagicJack # in the Bahamas 757 588-0375.
The best storage we have used in the Bahamas is Kevali House in hurricane hole #3 across the bay from Georgetown in the Exumas. The owner, Bob, runs a tight ship and a close watch over his operation. We have stored our boat there twice, once in his slips and once on a mooring. I found there is much less galvanic corrosion on the mooring. Here’s the website http://www.kevallihouse.com/marina/
We left ours at Marsh Harbor Boatyard. Good service, reasonable prices, 24 hr security, and nice people . Its on the outskirts of Marsh Hbr but still close to services, provisioning etc. Its also close to a major airport so no water taxi required. You can check their website for prices.

Bahamas Chatter: Needed Items for Long Island Needed Items for Long Island Posted: 14 Dec 2015 11:36 AM PST From a Long Island resident, here are some of the many things that would be appreciated for any of the southeast Bahama islands that were hit so hard by Hurricane Joaquin:
Household items is next- pillows, bedding, plates, pots n pans, silverware, cooking utensils- you know. Those things you take for granted till you are missing them- mixing bowls, wooden spoons, serving utensils, storage containers, cutting boards, knives, cups, rugs’¦’¦..Most houses that are being built are at drywall stage. Some still need windows and doors but I know you all couldn’t get away with those!! lol
ANYTHING someone somewhere on this island can use- trust me!

If I put a box of household items together in Beaufort, NC is there a cruising boat out there that would be willing to pick up the box at the Beaufort Docks and take it to Long Island?

Staniel Cay Yacht Club, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, is a hub of activities, as well as that laid back Bahamian lifestyle.
Staniel Cay Yacht Club Makes Investment in Your Enjoyment Over the years we have watched Staniel Cay Yacht Club make sure they were able to serve their customers without sacrificing or spoiling their “island atmosphere” and they have done an outstanding job. As their popularity has grown, they have worked hard to make sure everyone has a great experience, beyond what they might have ever expected. To sustain and maintain this level of service, quality and charm, look at this latest investment in your enjoyment….

Just look at all the windows; they are bringing the view right into the dining room. Here’s a look from the inside looking out…… …and the original dining area is still part of the overall dining area and experience. Everything is just a little larger, so you and all your friends can enjoy breakfast, lunch, or dinner together !! Staniel Cay is still the Bahamas quintessential “island atmosphere.”

Posted: 05 Nov 2015 06:42 PM PST We are all aware of the devastation caused to the southern Bahamas by Hurricane Joaquin. Long Island, Rum Cay, Crooked & Acklins were by far the most damaged with the storm sitting over southern Long Island for 36 hours straight with winds topping 135 mph.
Prior to the tragedy, I had started a drive to bring much needed school supplies to Long Island with the guidance & assistance of Ms. Dawn Simmons of the Ministry of Tourism (Salt Pond) along with local educators. Below is a list as sent to me prior to the storm.

New schedule for SSB Voice Nets & simultaneous Internet Webcasts Tonight the US undergoes its semiannual time change ritual, so beginning Monday, November 2, there will be a few minor changes to timing of SSB Voice Nets: Please visit the following link to download pdf files with the schedule and map: http://mwxc.com/news/?p=199
In plain text, here’s the scoop: E Caribbean & offshore vessels S of 30N moving toward E Caribbean: 7:00am AST (6am EST / 1100 utc) on 4.045 USB & 8.137 USB. Bahamas, Florida, and other areas within 200mi of Florida: 6:30am EST (1130 utc) on 4.045 USB & 8.137 USB. US E Coast & offshore vessels N of 30N (Georgia & SouthCarolina may do better on Bahamas/Florida Net): 7:30am EST (1230 utc / 8:30am AST) on 8.137 USB & 12.350 USB. Caribbean W of 72W into E Pacific: 1330 utc (9:30am AST / 8:30am EST) on 8.137 USB & 12.350 USB. After traffic is finished on the W Caribbean Net, I’ll make a final sweep to the ESE / E / NE from Florida to pick-up any traffic missed earlier in the morning.
NEW NET IN THE EVENINGs: Any Subscribing Vessel to our SSB Voice Nets is welcome to participate in our new evening Net at 2200 utc (5pm EST / 6pm AST). However, the protocol will be different for this Net, since it’s not targeted at any specific group of Islands as are our morning Nets. Sometime between 2145 utc ‘“ 2200 utc, on either 8.137 USB or 12.350 USB, please say your vessel name & approximate location (name an Island you’re close to, or Lat/Lon rounded to the nearest degree). When I hear you, I will acknowledge you, and let you know I have you on the list for traffic. If I do not acknowledge you, then I don’t hear you, so try the other channel or ask for someone to relay your vessel name & location. At about 2200 utc I’ll start working vessels on my list, grouped logically, and with my antennas pointed in your direction. One bit of confusion for the first 2 weeks of November is I’ll have to handle Salty Dawg vessels on 8.152 USB & 12.350 USB for maybe 30 minutes beginning at 2200 utc’¦but as soon as I’m done with them, I’ll begin working my list of Subscribing Vessels on the traffic list on 8.137 USB & 12.350 USB. FOR NOW, all the above schedule remains 6 days/week (Daily except Sundays). Thank you for your continuing support!’¦Chris Parker.

As a courtesy to Staniel Cay Yacht Club, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR, we forward this letter of explanation regarding current available air service to the Staniel Cay Yacht Club.
From: Staniel Cay Yacht Club Date: 08/16/2015 8:35 AM (GMT-05:00)
Subject: Staniel Airstrip Follow-up – What the airstrip closure means to our guests and passengers
To all of our concerned SCYC guests and Watermakers Air passengers who received our recent email or saw the online petition to repair and reopen the Staniel Cay Airstrip…
We’re very sorry for causing some undue confusion and concern about this matter.
YOU DO NOT NEED TO CANCEL YOUR TRIPS!
The Staniel Cay airstrip has been closed since April but planes have been flying into the neighboring island of Blackpoint since the day it closed and guests are being ferried by boat to Staniel Cay (a 10-15 minute trip). We’ve been doing this for 4 months now so the process is very efficient.
As you can see, this is a fairly painless process for our guests.
The letter that we forwarded to you in the petition was written by the community of Staniel Cay, who are, as you’d imagine, experiencing a great deal of inconvenience and who are rightly worried about folks who live here that require regular medical attention, etc. And of course, businesses (including ours) are incurring significant expense to deal with this issue… hence the letter.
However, we have taken great pains to make sure that our guests do not notice this change (for example, extending breakfast hours for our morning arrivals). In short, except for the boat ride, your trip will not be affected in any way. We are operating just like we always have and nothing about your trip or stay on Staniel should be impacted in any sort of negative way due to the airport closure.
The full-time residents of Staniel Cay are asking your support to have the Staniel Cay Airport repaired and re-opened. If you cruise to the Exumas, it is obviously in your interest to have the airport in useable condition. Follow the links below and register your support ASAP.
“Bahamas Chatter” is a newly launched feature of Lewis Offshore, LLC and Explorer Chartbooks, A SALTY SOUTHEAST CRUISERS’ NET SPONSOR! See /?p=148421.
You can take action to help! On August 12, we delivered a petition letter to the Prime Minister of the Bahamas and other key officials, urging the Government to repair and reopen the Staniel Cay airport immediately. The hard copy petition is signed by 164 people ‘“ nearly all Staniel Cay residents (locals and foreign homeowners alike), business owners and every private island between here and the Exuma Park headquarters.
Of course, many more people and entities are affected by the airport closure as well. We now seek widespread signatures from the many other supporters of Staniel Cay: extended families of Staniel Cay locals; families and guests of homeowners; families and clients of business owners; private cay owners/operators/families/staff/guests; boaters and cruisers; SCYC and rental home guests; private pilots; charter companies; pilot organizations; fly-in tour groups; suppliers; tourism agencies; and any other person or entity who experiences the negative impact of the Staniel Cay airport closure and urges its immediate repair/reopening. We have established an online petition to reach as many affected persons as possible.
Please go to http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/staniel-airport to read the August 12th letter from Concerned Citizens of Staniel Cay & Vicinity and SIGN YOUR NAME IN SUPPORT. Please sign as soon as possible so we can cite a strong number of online signatures. (If you are seeing this belatedly, we still welcome your signature as we will continue to cite growing numbers in ongoing efforts with officials.) Please continue to visit the site for updates and any further calls to action.
PLEASE FORWARD this information to your own contacts and networks of Staniel Cay-related persons/businesses to encourage their online signatures as well. We sincerely apologize for duplicate emails you may receive as word of this important initiative spreads.
Huge thanks to all signers! To all of you who love Staniel Cay, thank you for your continued support of this special Cay, and let’s get our airport up and running again!
Our thanks to Skipper Norman Quinn for sending this video and this warning: DO NOT FEED THE PIGS!
Our friends Vern and Rose on M/V Roamalot reported a serious accident at Pig Beach on Big Major Cay in the Exumas. While feeding the pigs, one of the largest pigs attacked and bit Rose pulling her right out of their dingy and nearly severing her thumb from her hand. She flew back to a Fort Lauderdale hospital where she underwent emergency hand surgery to repair three breaks and severed tendons in her thumb. Just a word of warning to cruisers in the Staniel Cay area…do not feed the pigs, especially in shallow water where they can jump into the boat and attack.
Staniel Cay where the pigs swim and here’s a candid shot of a fellow who went ashore without food for the pigs and the chase is on.

Capt. Norman Quinn- July 10, 2015 - 7:37 pm
Obviously, the pig “attacked” Rose for food. I don’t believe I mis-stated or inaccurately reported what occurred. We too, have visited the pigs at Big Major Spot on many occasions, and have seen other unwary cruisers injured while innocently feeding the pigs. I don’t have to remind you, or maybe I do, that emergency medical assistance in the Bahamas is extremely limited. A small child may not have fared as well as Rose during such an incident. The pigs are cute but can be aggressive, causing serious life threatening injuries to the inexperienced cruiser. My point was to warn readers to keep their distance and to make sure to stay in water deep enough that the pigs cannot touch bottom, if one decides to feed them. I have personally witnessed them climb into dingys in shallow water and “attack” the occupants in their search for food…doing what pigs do.
We all hope that Rose from M/V Roamalot is recovering from her injuries sustained by a pig bit at Big Majors. As cruisers, we never like to hear about anyone injured. But the article, as submitted, mis-states the issue. We have been to Big Majors on numerous occasions, and we have fed the pigs, and we have seen hundreds of people feed the pigs. It is just not accurate to characterize what happened as saying that the pig “attacked” someone. The pigs at Big Majors don’t attack people, they just eat. Have you ever fed a dog a piece of food, and your hand or fingers get nipped in the process? The dog didn’t bite or attack you – your fingers or hand just happened to be in the way of their getting at what they want, that is, the food. Sure, we’ve seen people get into situations at Pig Beach — and it’s when they are holding a bag of food near themselves, usually while they are standing in the water, and the pig wants to get at the food. To call it an “attack” is just wrong. Even Rose, early in the video, recognized that she might be bitten. We hope she recovers fully. Greg Allard M/V Meander

We were at Great Harbor back in Feb. 2006…it was desolate, but absolutely beautiful. Golf course club house was a wreck, there was a pool and facility right behind marina that looked like it had not been used in years, but had the raw potential of being spectacular. We love the beach and met some very nice folks. The hamburger place near the air strip was not bad but the air strip had some rather big holes. We waited five days for fuel which never came during our stay and finally with some accurate current and tide info we carefully cruised to West End. Great to learn of how it has experienced a new birth.
This request for bridge clearance by Skipper Charles was prompted by a discussion of the Grand Lucayan Waterway back in 2010, /?p=31487. If you have recent experience dealing with bridge height in the Waterway, let us hear from you! The Grand Lucayan Waterway is a north/south passage that allows boaters to travel from Dover Sound, which is on the north side of Grand Bahama, to the Northwest Providence Channel on the southern side of the island. The Casuarina Bridge crosses the waterway with a charted 27-foot fixed vertical clearance.
What is the real clearance of the bridge on the Lucaya waterway? Charles
Hi Charles, I have not used this waterway, but looking at my Explorer Charts for Grand Bahama Island, I see one bridge that shows as being “Fixed” with a clearance of 8.3 meters or 27.23 feet. These charts also show that the low water depth is one meter or 3’feet 3″ inches….skinny. Hope this is helpful. Skipper CW Fower
This warning has been posted on several websites including AGLCA’s Forum. The author is not very specific about the location of the shoaling, so we have to assume the shoaling is somewhere in the main entry channel between North and South Bimini.
Attention to boaters coming to BIMINI, Bahamas. Last week storm shoaled the channel entrance and now it’s 5′ at low tide instead of 10′. I almost get stock this morning at 5 am and with the swell, not nice when your boat is bouncing on top of sand bar while you tried to get out of there’¦ If you know anyone coming this week, tell them to arrive at high tide until they dredge the channel again.

I was over in BIMINI April 18th & 19th & they had installed a new buoy on the Port side.
That being said if you favor the Starbd side going in, it shouldn’t be a problem as I draw 4’6 & I was fine at low tide

Could we soon be paying to anchor in the Bahamas? It’s not as far fetched as you might think. Chuck Baier and Susan Landry
Trust Chief: Anchorage Fees Must Be Nationwide
By NATARIO McKENZIE Tribune Business Reporter
The Bahamas National Trust’s (BNT) chairman has called for anchorage fees to be imposed in mooring spots throughout the Bahamas.
Addressing the ninth annual Exuma Business Outlook conference, Eric Carey noted that while the BNT had implemented anchorage fees at the Exuma Land & Sea Park to cover its annual operating expenses and upgrade infrastructure, the initiative was one he believed should be implemented in other areas.
`We need to think about doing these sorts of initiatives in other areas like Elizabeth Harbour off of Black Point, Staniel Cay and Nassau Harbour,’ he said.
`They come down there they anchor and they pay absolutely nothing and they come fully stocked. Half of the time they don’t even spend $5 in the Bahamas and what do they eat? Our fish,’ said Mr Carey.
We would like to send out a big thank you to everyone that has rallied and responded to our initial posting of this article. It shows that the boating community can come together and make a difference. We just received this reply…..” Executive Director of the Bahamas National Trust (BNT), Eric Carey, extended his sincere apologies to all boaters that visit The Bahamas year after year today.
During the Exuma Business Outlook forum Director Carey answered a question from the floor that painted annual boaters in a less than flattering light. He and the BNT Executive team acknowledge that comments such as those should not have been made considering that the yachting; sailing and small craft boaters who visit the islands have a significant impact and role in the Bahamian economy, tourism and environmental longevity.
Since its inception in 1958 the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park has been a premier anchoring location for boaters who visit The Bahamas. Recently the BNT introduced anchorage fees due to the increased annual operational cost of repairs and upkeep of the Bahamas’ oldest National park. In Mr. Carey’s passion to defend his organization’s need to increase income to support the Park’s operations, he suggested that the residents of Elizabeth Harbour install moorings to help with their efforts to clean up and restore their harbor. Some residents made comments to the effect that some boaters were not willing to pay for moorings. Carey unfortunately went on record to support the comments and agreed that some of these boaters do not contribute significantly to the economy.
“The comments which I made at the Exuma Business Outlook Conference are not the views of the Trust,” noted Carey. “We welcome all visitors and most importantly boaters in The Bahamas – not only to the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park but throughout The Bahamas.”
Carey continued “international boaters are significant contributors to our economy and specifically to the more boutique islands which are not visited my mainstream tourists. In addition hundreds are annual supporters of the Trust through membership, valued Support Fleet members, the payment of mooring fees or by donating much needed personal resources to the protection of the marine environment. I offer my heartfelt apologies and hope that all boaters will continue to visit The Bahamas.”
What do they expect when a gallon of milk costs $9, or they charge for water. they need to work on bringing costs of basics down, then people would provision there. Otherwise I think we do in fact spend money, just not at the grocery store. Scoobert Diver
