Bahamas opening to cruisers June 15!

[polaris2.11]

So, seems Bahamas is opening back up to yachts, pleasure vessels and private aircraft June 15! Check in details are still unclear.

Anybody headed to Abaco? I had to leave there in early March to come back to the states and care for mom who broke her hip.

Mom is much better now, and I have a boat/home moored at Man o War that I need to get back to asap. I am about as covid free as one can be having been holed up caring for elders these past three months. Curbside grocery pickups only time out of the house in the country. Of course, I realize I may have to expose myself somewhat to get to your boat, but will take all precautions.

Looking for a ride.

They say commercial flights starting July 1, but rather not wait, and who wants to fly these days anyway?

Thanks for considering...

I believe you may need some health certificates etc now. I think it’s more complicated than it used to be.

Yes. I am sure. Totally worth any hassle for me. Maybe others as well? Figured it was worth asking.

Where did you see the opening for boaters prior to July 1?

Our boat is in Georgetown and I’ve been scouring the web. I’ve found nothing about Phase IV opening ports for foreign vessels?

Ahhh, ok. An excerpt from the tourism press conference.

I’ve been checking the OPM Facebook page for “official” notices.
