All pleasure boats entering the Bahamas must now purchase at their first
Port of Entry a $150 cruising permit for boats up to 35 feet and $300
for boats over 35 feet *each year*. Paying $300 just to enter a port for
an annual visit is a rip and should be boycotted by cruisers. This "fee"
was imposed by black Bahamian politicians because they believe the
Floriduh boaters cruising the 90 miles to visit their islands are all
rich and should be made to pay for their suffering on the islands.
Actually, any Bahamian entering any Floriduh business such as a Publix,
Piggly Wiggly, or even an area hospital should be charged a $300 use fee
just for entering the premises. The fee can be used for manatee
protection...

"...*black* Bahamian politicians..." Nice bit of racism there.

I'm certain cruisers everywhere will heed your admonition, Skipper, but
why is the fee of any concern to you? It's not as if you cruise to the
Bahamas or anywhere else.
