  • Designer Andrew Howard Creates One Family's Ultimate Tropical Escape On
    Designer Andrew Howard creates one family’s ultimate tropical escape on Elbow Cay in the Bahamas ON ISLAND TIME BY LAUREN MORIARTY PHOTOGRAPHS BY MAX KIM-BEE STYLING BY LIZ STRONG The stylish pool house is perfect for overnight guests. 26 COASTAL LIVING Winter 2019 W When the view is pure art, as Andrew Howard puts it, everything else needs to take a back seat. That wholesale surrender to the view—in this case, the high-wattage, opulent seascape of the Bahamas—became the Jacksonville designer’s cri de coeur and the mission for an English family of six seeking to update their beloved tropical escape on Elbow Cay in the nation’s Abaco Islands. It also informed the palette. Howard confesses to usually using more color, but here employed quieter, organic hues— in particular, soft turquoises and corals— and natural textures. “There are big beau- tiful ocean views from every single room,” he says. “I didn’t want to do anything that distracted from that.” A second challenge was to ensure that the design didn’t stifle the need of a big family to, well, move. “We like the seating and the groupings to be respectful of the view,” Howard says, “but I also think it’s rare that someone would sit in a chair and just stare out the window. I think that people are mov- ing around a lot. Organizing furniture in a way that works for the room while still respecting the view is very important.” In the home’s outdoor spaces, hammocks near the water embrace the ocean breeze, MAXIMIZE A while poolside chaises provide more pro- SMALL KITCHEN tected lounging.

  • The Best of the Bahamas
    05_145685 ch01.qxp 7/23/07 6:33 PM Page 4 1 The Best of The Bahamas The Bahamas is one of the most geographically complicated nations of the Atlantic. A coral-based archipelago, it is composed of more than 700 islands, 2,000 cays (pronounced “keys,” from the Spanish word for small islands), and hundreds of rocky outcroppings that have damaged the hulls of countless ships since colonial days. The Commonwealth of The Bahamas came into being in 1973 after centuries of colonial rule. After Great Britain granted The Bahamas internal self-rule in 1964, the fledgling nation adopted its own constitution but chose not to sever its ties with its motherland. It has remained in the Commonwealth, with the British monarch as its head of state. In the British tradition, The Bahamas has a two-house Parliament, a ministerial cabinet headed by a prime minister, and an independent judiciary. The queen appoints a Bahamian governor-general to represent the Crown. As The Bahamas moves deeper into the millennium, the government and various investors continue to pump money into the tourism infrastructure, especially on Par- adise Island, across from Nassau, as well as Cable Beach adjoining Nassau. Cruise-ship tourism continues to increase, and a more upscale crowd is coming back after aban- doning The Bahamas for many years in favor of other Caribbean islands such as St. Barts and Anguilla. When Hubert Ingraham became prime minister in 1992, he launched the country down the long road toward regaining its market share of tourism, which under Prime Minister Lynden Pindling had seen a rapid decline.

  • WED LIKE a CELEBRITY on a DREAM LOCALE in the BAHAMAS Bahamas Contest Provides Chance for Couples to Say “I Do’S” Celebrity Style
    WED LIKE A CELEBRITY ON A DREAM LOCALE IN THE BAHAMAS Bahamas contest provides chance for couples to say “I Do’s” celebrity style FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (May 19, 2014) - Sixteen engaged couples are being offered the chance of a lifetime to exchange wedding vows celebrity style in The Islands Of The Bahamas. Through The Bahamas' 16 Islands 16 Weddings competition, 16 lucky couples can win the opportunity to join celebrities - such as former Masters champion Adam Scott - who over the years have made The Bahamas their dream locale for tying the knot. Scott created a buzz over the weekend when it was revealed that he was the latest celebrity to wed in The Bahamas, exchanging “I do’s” with longtime girlfriend, Marie Kojzar. The list of recent Bahamas wedding celebrities include Mariah Carey and Nick Canon, who were married on Eleuthera in 2008 and Penelope Cruz and Javier Barden in 2010. Also, reportedly, Johnny Depp is planning upcoming nuptials at his private retreat in Exuma, Bahamas. Freda Malcolm, ‘Director of Romance’ for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism, said, “people of all walks of life, including celebrated personalities are drawn to The Islands Of The Bahamas for picture-perfect weddings. The setting really does it,” she said. “You place two people who are in love into an idyllic environment with blue sky, blue seas and a sandy beach, and good things happen. With the right planning, it’s very hard to beat a Bahamas destination wedding." To date over two thousand couples have signed up for The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism's major destination wedding contest, now in its last few weeks.

Thank you for always letting me be me. Most importantly, thank you to my sister Virginia. You truly are my inspiration. Love you, always and forever ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank my advisors Dr. Steve A. Johnson and Dr. David W. Steadman, as well as Dr. David C. Blackburn for all the support throughout my graduate career. I appreciate all the valuable suggestions and recommendations which helped tremendously in shaping this thesis. I could not thank Dr. Steadman enough for the constant motivation, and truly inspiring me to become a better scientist and researcher. Learning should be an adventure, and Dr. Steadman has always reminded me of that. I am also very grateful to Dr. David Reed, Dr. Verity Mathis, Dr. Aida Miro, Lauren Rowan, Aditi Jayarajan and the rest of the Reed Lab, for all the support and assistance in and out of the field. I’d like to thank Dr. Angelo Soto-Centeno for his immense help and patience with the morphometric chapter. I thank the Blackburn Lab, especially Danielle Hayes for always helping me with molecular techniques and analysis. Last but certainly not least, I thank my family and friends. Without the constant motivation, love and encouragement, none of this would have been possible.
