Leave her (My boat) in the Bahamas?
My attention span for cruising is seriously short and I love my work
so I never want to spend more than a couple of weeks aboard my boat but I do want to take advantage of having her in the Bahamas. Being a well built 28' S-2 and having a 3'10" draft, she seems ideal for the shallow Bahamas, a perfect cruiser for someone who does not mind sorta spartan conditions. So, is leaving her in the bahamas over hurricane season a possibility? I'd prefer to have her hauled and put on stands because then I'd worry less until I got back in late November. Insurance is not an issue because she is very old and long ago paid for and so I only have liability insurance. If she gets destroyed..............well, I'd be sad but also would have an excuse to build another boat. Feasible? |

I know of at least one yard on Green Turtle Cay for example, and am reasonably certain that there is one in Marsh Harbour on the south side. Marsh Harbour makes a nice base of operations because there are good provisioning opportunities there, a close by airport, and many taxis. The taxis monitor VHF channel 16 so a handheld VHF is very useful. |

There are good yards in Green Turtle, Marsh Harbour, perhaps Hope Town and
one of the other near Marsh Harbour which I forget. No knowledge of any other than a friend with a big cat using one in the smaller outside islands near MH being very satisfied with them.
