The Bahamas Tourism Agency is quick to point out that major cruising grounds, including the pristine 365-island chain known as the Exumas, have been unaffected by the recent Category Five Hurricane Dorian.
Everyone expects to have nice weather on vacation but when spending a week on a bareboat charter, you’ll need to know more than just temperature and sunshine.
It takes some extra effort to do a sailing charter in the Exumas, Bahamas, but these beguiling islands are worth it.
There are all kinds of people out there, if you’ll take the time to listen to them, to humor them, to oblige them their vices, to talk with them.
"I’d just graduated from college and my roommate Michael and I had chartered a Pearson 30 for the trip. We’d found three attractive student teachers on spring break to join us, and we headed off that Saturday night." --by Charlie Simon
Sometimes a change in plans while cruising can bring you to places you never would have expected, and even your favorite memories.
On a springtime jaunt through the Exuma Islands in the Bahamas aboard our Stevens 47 Hurrah, we saved the best for last. Though I wish I could say it was all in the planning, it really happened because we sailed through the Exumas backwards, starting in George Town and ending at the stunningly fabulous Warderick Wells, headquarters of the Exuma Cays Land and Sea Park.
