      Bahamas Chatter: “Report from the Exumas” plus 1 more
      Report from the Exumas

      Posted: 04 Apr 2020 05:50 AM PDT

      Restrictions on social contact are being carefully enforced at the local level.

      From an official at Staniel Cay:

      The folks at Black Point can not come up to Staniel… no travel between islands is allowed except for emergencies.

      Cruiser Report from Green Turtle Cay

      Posted: 04 Apr 2020 05:21 AM PDT

      From a cruiser at Green Turtle Cay:

      We went ashore today at New Plymouth – we had dinghied over, being anchored in White Sound near the Green Turtle Club. Our purpose was to buy groceries at Sid’s, apparently the only grocery store open.

      As we approached the store, we were met by two policeman (neither dressed in uniforms) who identified themselves as Royal Bahamian Police. We explained that we were only ashore for groceries and that we were immediately returning to the boat thereafter. We also explained that we were in the process of heading north, waiting for a good weather window to leave the Bahamas for the US. They asked for ID and photographed our licenses. They were very pleasant and not threatening, but I think they might have taken pictures of our ID’s so they will know if we are “repeat offenders”.

      At the Green Turtle Club prior to heading to New Plymouth, we had no problem going ashore, going in their small store and doing wash. No one batted an eye. We left there after returning from New Plymouth and are now anchored farther north.

      Procedures and Guidelines in compliance with the recent Governor’s Order, and under the Florida Emergency Condominium Act

      Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a statewide Stay-at-Home Mandate that will go into effect Friday morning at 12:01 am. The order states: ” All persons in Florida shall limit their movements and personal interactions outside of their home to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities”. Riviera Dunes Marina will adhere to that order, and will set policies and rules pursuant to that Order as well as under the Florida Emergency Condominium Act, Section 718.

      Our primary goal is the safety, health and well-being of all of our owners, employees, tenants and liveaboards.

      1) Riviera Dunes Marina has already instituted a policy closing the Marina Office to everyone; no one except Marina employees will be allowed in the office; all owners and tenants must do business with the office over the phone. We will remain open and available via phone at 941-981-5330 from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Saturday. Any mail and package deliveries received can be picked up by calling ahead to the Marina Office and we will make arrangements to have your items set outside for you to retrieve.

      2) Effective immediately our docks will be open and accessible ONLY to our owners and tenants. This means that no guests will be permitted and no guest parking passes will be issued. Compliance will be monitored by our staff. Dock gates will remain closed and new gate codes will be issued.

      3) Vessel repair persons/companies will not be permitted on the docks except for emergency mechanical or electrical repairs. All such emergency access must be approved by the General Manager before vessel repair persons enter the docks.

      4) Divers performing boat bottom cleaning, replacement of anodes (zincs), and servicing of through-hull fittings for air conditioning, engines, generators, etc., are permitted, provided they contact the marina office by e-mail the day before their work is scheduled, and provide a list of 1) each boat on which they will be working, and 2) the names of the diver(s) who will be working. If they fail to comply with this advance notice, they will be denied access to the marina.

      5) Persons or companies engaged in boat washing, waxing, compounding, or cosmetic repairs, etc. are not permitted on the docks.

      6) Boat brokers/sales persons and their clients are not permitted on the docks.

      7) The swimming pools will be closed.

      As a commercial Condominium Association, RDM provides numerous essential services to our residents and owners, including daily trash pick-up, water service and pump-out services to those owners and tenants. The Marina’s fuel dock will also continue to be open. Use of the laundry facility will continue as an essential service.

      We will continue providing these essential services to our owners and tenants during this statewide Stay-At-Home Mandate. We know that some of these rules may be difficult, but we have made careful choices to limit access to our docks to those people and services who are essential.

      We ask that you please continue to take the proper precautions of hand washing, distancing, covering coughs, etc., and to refrain from social gatherings, especially groups of more than 10 on the docks and in public areas. Even with groups of that size, proper distancing must apply.

      We owe it to each other as owners, employees, tenants, or as members of our live-aboard community, to do our absolute best to keep each other safe.

      Dated: April 2,2020

      Regards,

      RDMCA Board

        We were handed a notice today by the police when they came to our boat here in Eleuthera. I ask the cops point blank if it was OK for us to leave and and stop at a few anchorages on the way back to Florida… they say “Yes Man, no one is keeping your here.” In short, if you stay you shouldn’t move but if you are moving to leave, thats ok. You still can’t go on land
