With a cool Atlantic breeze blowing, One Bahamas was portrayed in songs, ring games and dances done by students from North Abaco. The schools brought forth their best choirs, dancers and soloists to complete the celebrations. These renditions truly brought out what it means to be Bahamian. In attendance was Sir Orville Turnquest, Sir Durward Knowles and other dignitar- ies from Nassau and Abaco. Sir Orville Turnquest, the Father of One Bahamas, encouraged the students to remember that we are one, no matter which island we hail Sir Durward Knowles was part of the group visiting North Abaco to celebrate One Bahamas.

  • 6Th Work Boat Regatta Attracts Crowd
    October 1st, 2002 The Abaconian Page 1 VOLUME 10, NUMBER 19, OCTOBER 1st, 2002 6th Work Boat Regatta Attracts Crowd Abaco Rage Wins Class A Championship The sixth All Abaco Regatta was held on September 20-21 on the waters between the Treasure Cay ferry dock and Green Turtle Cay. A total of 18 boats competed with seven boats in Class A, five boats in Class B and six boats in Class C. The weather cooperated so the boats had great sailing on both days. In past years there have been problems with the weather both with shipping the boats here and with sail- ing. One year, 1999, no boats were able to come and again in 2000 only three boats came to compete with the local boat, the Abaco Rage. The races are unique in that the boats be- gin racing with their anchors set and their sails down. At the signal of the start of the race, one group of crew members will haul in the anchor as rapidly as possible bringing the boat into the wind allowing the rudder to take effect. During this time a second group is scrambling to hoist the sail allowing the wind to catch the sail, maintaining the for- ward motion. Under the theme Let’s Do It Again, this regatta is the last one to be organized by Mr. Everette Hart on Abaco. Mr. Hart was Senior Administrator for Central Abaco un- til his transfer to Exuma in August. He came The Running Tide, a Class A work boat from Long Island is shown racing in the All Abaco Regatta held on September 20 and 21.

The value opinion reported below is qualified by certain assumptions, limiting conditions, certifications, and definitions, which are set forth in the report. We particularly call your attention to the extraordinary assumptions and hypothetical conditions in this report. Throughout the Caribbean and Bahamas in 2018, through September, significant increases in hotel occupancies and rental rates, bulk parcel demand from developers pushing pricing to upwards of $2,500,000 per acre, and more hotel sales (22 sales through July 2018) with just nine sales totaling over $4,300,000,000 in transactions, more transactional revenue than the previous three years combined have been evidenced that show The Bahamas, Caribbean and Dominican Republic markets have recovered from the economic recession that began in 2007. Hurricane Irma in 2017 stalled 28 hotel projects (this number does not include Puerto Rico damaged hotels) from operating causing over 2,000,000 hotel room nights being unable to be occupied.
