      Pet Micro Chip Requirements in Bahamian Waters

      The first message below is a repetition of an earlier posting here on the "Bahamas" page. The second, is an update on this situation!

      Just a heads up. There appears to be a new requirement for pet importation. [in the Bahamas] I went to a vet here in Coconut Grove today to get my paper signed, and it has a spot on it for microchip information, which according to the vet is new as of January this year, and he wouldn't sign it unless the dog had a chip. I don't know how necessary this is, as last year the Bahamians never asked word one about Val, but being a believer in Murphy, I had one put in him anyway.

      Just a note about the microchip.
      We take our 2 dogs over every year. We stay in the Abaco's for about 6 – 7 months a year and I have to fly home and back once a month so I take my little one in and out with me each month. We always have the permit and all papers ready and available. I get asked for them at least half of the time. I asked about the microchip blank on the form when they added it. This is what I was told:
      It is NOT required. They just have you put it down so they have more information if your dog happens to get lost. Most of the vets have the scanners that can read the microchip. Both of my dogs have a microchip anyway so it didn't really matter to me… but I was curious.

      Bimini Entrance Channel

      Re:  Bimini, Bahamas entrance channel
      We crossed the Gulf Stream from Angelfish Creek to Bimini in mid-April.  We had old cruising guides which warned of the difficulty of the channel between North and South Bimini.  We were very fortunate when a small freighter appeared on the horizon.  It headed directly between the two islands, rather than using the previous channel which follows the coast of South Bimini up to the entrance.  We followed behind the boat and found channel markers.  They are quite small and not lighted, but a straight shot into Bimini.  Just wanted to report the good news.
