We've been to Lucaya twice in our boat, but we always had to leave before I was ready. When you are traveling on a sailboat, and a weather window opens, you take it.

Your tips are great, thx. I agree about the dolphins. The Jitney buses sound great for saving and seeing the sights. The friend I'm going with is Irish so can't wait to tell her about Shenanigans! Any idea where the best snorkelling is? thx, Lili

What an adventure - to boat your way down the coast and into the Bahamas! Good journaling - lots of details.

Rosalie, Your travelogues are quite fascinating. We used to own land in Lucaya. When I 1st saw your list of destinations, I thought you just loved islands, and the more I read, I realized you boat everywhere!

Count Basie Pavilion sounds right up my alley.
