Day 2 Nassau – Crystal Serenity Cruise Upon our arrival at the Nassau International Airport, we will transfer to Port Nassau to embark on the Crystal Serenity Cruise. Crystal Serenity is one of two magnificent ships that has earned Crystal Cruises the distinction of being The World's Most Awarded Luxury Cruise Line. There are 12 new suites and 28 new penthouses. Crystal Serenity will feature more innovative dining options with expanded specialty venues and open-seating, more state-of-the-art technologies including free, unlimited Wi-Fi. Enjoy our luxury experience on board. Day 3 Bimini, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Bimini, Bahamas. Ships embark at 6:00 PM. Adjectives defy description of Bimini’s waters – crystalline and turquoise, they are simply breathtaking. They are also teeming with prized blue marlin, tuna, amberjack and more. Here, where palm trees sway on pristine beaches, is where Papa Hemingway escaped to fish and write. Day 4 Spanish Wells, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Spanish Wells, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. Just off the northern tip of Eleuthera – a Bahamian Out Island revered for its pink-sand beaches and clear turquoise waters – lies the little-known gem of Spanish Wells on St. George’s Cay. Graced with soft-white powdery sands, shallow crystalline waters and brilliant reefs ideal for snorkeling, tiny Spanish Wells is the lobster capital of The Bahamas and all manner of fishing is enjoyed in the pristine waters here. Like its glitzy Harbour Island neighbor, it is easily explored by golf cart. Day 5 Great Exuma, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Great Exuma, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. Renowned for their sapphire-blue waters – so stunning they can be seen from outer space – the 300+ isles of the Exumas are home to blissfully secluded beaches, deserted reef-fringed cays (shoal or sandbar) and world-famous swimming pigs. Great Exuma is the largest of these islands, and the Tropic of Cancer runs directly through its capital of George Town. Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful places on Earth, this yachting haven is ideal for snorkeling, diving and relaxing on pristine sands. Day 6 San Salvador Island, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in San Salvador Island, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. The small, emerald-green island of San Salvador, situated in the far eastern Bahamas, is home to pristine beaches and colorful coral reefs that are ideal for swimming, snorkeling and diving. Though subject to debate, San Salvador may also be the first place where Christopher Columbus set foot in the New World in 1492. On San Salvador's west coast is the island's capital and largest settlement, Cockburn Town, boasting a museum, restaurants, bars and its signature landmark, a giant almond tree. Day 7 Long Island, Bahamas This morning, we will arrive in Long Island, Bahamas. Ship disembarks at 7:00 AM and embarks at 7:00 PM. On the easternmost ridge of the Great Bahama Bank, straddling the Tropic of Cancer, this slender island of white-sand beaches, technicolor waters and lush greenery is home to brilliant coral reefs, pristine flats and the famed Dean’s Blue Hole, the world’s second deepest. Just four miles at its widest, hilly vantage points allow for spectacular views of breathtaking cliffs. Dotted with white churches and monuments, Long Island is known for its bonefishing, swimming pigs and world-class diving. Day 8 Cruiseing the Coast of Bahamas Today is a Sea Day. We will be cruising the Coast of Bahamas. Enjoy the activities on board. Day 9 Nassau, Bahamas This morning, we will disembark from Port Nassau. With miles of powdery white sand, sunshine 300 days a year, and turquoise waters averaging 80 degrees, the capital of The Bahamas is home to 17 spectacular beaches. Rich in pirate lore and vestiges of its British heritage, Nassau today is a hub of culture and a thriving nightlife. Discover a perfect mix of nature, history and modern-day indulgences, from colorful reefs to dazzling casinos, straw markets to lavish resorts, and ancient forts to the world’s third-largest wine cellar at Graycliff. We can enjoy the city and overnight in Nassau. Day 10 Nassau Miami Los Angeles Honolulu This morning, we will transfer to Nassau International Airport for our return flight to Honolulu, taking with us the lasting memories of this wonderful Cruise to Bahamas Escapes with Crystal Serenity. We wish you a safe journey and many wonderful memories to share with family and friends!

  • The Birds of Long Island, Bahamas
    Wilson Bull., 104(2), 1992, pp. 220-243 THE BIRDS OF LONG ISLAND, BAHAMAS DONALD W. BUDEN ’ ABSTRACT.-ChIe hundred and ten species of birds are recorded from Long Island and adjacent cays, 54 for the first time. No species or subspecies is endemic. Of the 48 probable breeding indigenous species, 23 are land birds, most of which are widely distributed in all terrestrial habitats. The Yellow Warbler (Dendroicapetechia) shows the strongest habitat preference, being nearly confined to mangroves. Nests, eggs, and young are reported for 3 1 species, 19 of them for the first time on Long Island. The White-winged Dove (Zenaidu asiatica) and Blue-gray Gnatcatcher (Polioptila caerulea) are new additions to the list of breeding land birds. The Bahama Mockingbird (Mimus gundluchii)was the most frequently encountered bird during summer 1990, followed closely by the Thick-billed Vireo (Vireo crassirostris).Received I6 May 1991, accepted5 Nov. 1991. The avifauna of Long Island has never been reviewed systematically, the literature consisting mainly of brief and sparsely annotated noncu- mulative lists of species. In nearly all cases, these earlier reports have been based on visits of only one to several days duration covering a very limited area, mainly Clarence Town and vicinity. The present report brings together all available information on the distribution of the birds of Long Island and is based in large measure on my observations through- out the island during 28 April-l 3 May and 6 July-l 2 August 1990 together with unpublished records contributed by other observers. STUDY AREA Long Island is located in the central part of the Bahama archipelago and is the south- easternmost island of any appreciable size on the Great Bahama Bank (Figs.

    June 15, 2012 The Abaconian Section A Page 1 VOLUME 20 NUMBER 12 JUNE 15th, 2012 Eleven perish in boating tragedy By Timothy Roberts Eleven people, including two chil- dren, perished when a boat heading to Florida developed engine trouble and sank in the area of Hawksbill Cays (just north of Fox Town) sometime close to 9pm on Sunday, June 10. Local police and rescue agencies were not alerted about the sinking until late in the afternoon on Monday as no one had reported it until a young man (a survivor that swam to shore) walked into the police station in Marsh Harbour around 3pm that day. It was reported by the survivor – a nineteen year-old male – that possibly as many as six other people swam to shore but they quickly disappeared into the night. According to Noel Curry, Abaco’s Officer in Charge, the young man attempt- ed to help a young lady swim to shore but she was swept away by a wave. He then fo- cused on getting himself to safety. He told police he swam from 9 pm Sunday evening until 3 am Monday morning.

PUB DATE 1997-11-00 NOTE 16p.; Paper presented at the Annual Conference of the NCFR Fatherhood and Motherhood in a Diverse and Changing World (59th, Arlington, VA, November 7-10, 1997). PUB TYPE Reports Research (143) Speeches/Meeting Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC01 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Child Rearing; Community Involvement; Cultural Influences; Ethnography; Extended Family; Foreign Countries; *Mother Attitudes; *Mothers; Parent Child Relationship; *Parent Role; Pregnancy IDENTIFIERS *Bahamas ABSTRACT Bahamian women often carry the bulk of responsibility for family well-being, particularly in the domain of parenting. This ethnographic study investigated the role of Bahamian mothers and their perceptions of parenting. Face-to-face qualitative interviews, comprised of a series of open-ended questions, were conducted with 18 mothers on the islands of Eleuthera, Harbour Island, and Spanish Wells, Bahamas. All interviews were audio taped and transcribed. Several issues emerged from the data regarding motherhood: the multiple role expectations placed on women, the involvement of the extended family and community in child rearing, and the pregnancy and birthing experience. Most mothers carried the bulk, if not all, of the responsibility for the well-being of their children, with familial obligations taking significant personal tolls; however, the community, often in the form of extended family, provided informal assistance. The small and relatively safe communities provided a reassuring context in which to raise children, and birthing experiences were also more of a family or community affair.

In addition to its Nassau itineraries, Crystal will also offer 16 seven-night voyages round-trip from Bimini beginning on July 4, 2021. With her new Bahamas Escapes cruises, Crystal Serenity becomes the first ship to homeport in The Bahamas, as well as the first ocean ship to sail from the Americas since the cruise industry’s voluntary halt in operations almost a year ago. In attendance at today’s press conference announcing the new Bahamas Escapes cruises were Jack Anderson, Crystal’s interim president and CEO, Minister D’Aguilar and Director General Joy Jibrilu, The Bahamas Ministry of Tourism. “Like our guests, we have been eagerly looking forward to the day we can welcome them back on board, and we’re thrilled that this day will come in The Bahamas,” Anderson said. “The new Bahamas Escapes cruises will allow travelers to enjoy luxury cruising now, as well as bring much-needed benefits to the local workforce, airlines, restaurants, retailers and hotels for pre- and post-cruise stays.
