A birthday and a trip to the dentist – but not on the same day !

First Covid case in Eleuthera and childhood holidays

So first news of the week is that there is an official case of Covid here in Eleuthera – we made the Bahamas chart in a way we never wanted to – and then reminiscences from me of childhood holidays ! Not really any major news about the Covid case apart from saying that it has obviously been brought in […]

Hurricane Isaias, lockdown and the grand unveiling !

Plenty to write about this week with news of Hurricane Isaias, more lockdown and the grand unveiling of our screened garden room….. So last Thursday and Friday were spent putting everything away for the impending Hurricane Isaias – which thankfully seemed to dissipate during Friday night and left us just with high winds and plenty of rain. We dodged another […]

No more commercial US flights to the Bahamas for now……

The Prime Minister announced at the weekend that all commercial flights from the US were to be stopped from bringing passengers into the Bahamas.

Fortunately for […]

Thankfully people […]

Launching the all new Eleuthera Sailing Academy

Last week we saw the launching of the all new Eleuthera Sailing Academy – based in Savannah Sound. Such great news for the young people in Eleuthera don’t you think….. This is the brainchild of Craig Symonette from Nassau – he is himself a very skilled and keen sailor and wants to encourage as many young out islanders as possible […]

Sunday lunch at the Buccaneer in Governors Harbour ……

This last week the three of us – Bob, my Mum Mary and I enjoyed sitting down to Sunday lunch at the Buccaneer in Governors Harbour.
