The tiny Pink and Blue stores in Staniel Cay had very little produce but we did find 2 extra large bags of frozen mixed... Continue Reading →
Our ride to the beach, taken from the headquarters' office. The Land and Sea Park is probably our favorite area of the Bahamas because of the crystal clear waters, sandy bottoms and abundance of wildlife.

Although it is rather last minute we want to do our share to help the Bahamians as they have lost so much in the past 16 months. After weathering the devastating impact from Dorian they received a one-two punch from Covid-19. Tourism accounts for approximately 60% of the GDP and the island chain has been... Continue Reading →
