Default Friends on S/V Ring of Kerry


I was just reading a FB post from our friends who are
currently in Exuma, Bahamas living aboard their
sailboat, "Ring of Kerry".

The government of the Bahamas has imposed a curfew
and a quarantine on everyone, including those visiting
and living on their boats. They cannot leave even if
they wanted to.

They can go ashore apparently for 90 minutes a day
while maintaining social distancing rules.
They can go to pharmacies and grocery stores only.

So far the Bahamas only has 4 confirmed cases
(as of her writing) of the corvid-19 virus but the
concern is that the population is so small and the
medical facilities are limited, so they are taking
no chances.

They are washing clothes in a bucket because all
laundromats are closed. They have a high efficiency
fresh water RA system, so they can take showers.

Newest and greatest threat is they are out of beer
and, unlike here in the states where liquor stores
are considered "essential" ... they are all closed
in the Bahamas.

I don't think they were planning on all this when they
set sail up here last October for points south.
