Summer Fun in the Not-So-Sunny Sun

by

Towards the end of summer, I went on an amazing boat adventure tour in which I got to see some of the Exuma cays. There are over 700 islands and cays that make up the Bahamas although most of them are uninhabited. There are some celebs that own a few private islands in the Bahamas including Nicholas Cage, Julia Roberts and Johnny Depp. But on this tour, I got to see these and some unique treasures that Exuma has to offer.

We did this on a day that a bit cloudy and actually storming in some areas. Imagine if the sun was out shining in its glory! Could you imagine?! Beautiful.

Oil Spill #3

by

 

Two other oil spills happened in Grand Bahama

So I just read an article on The Nassau Guardian’s news site about a third reported oil spill near the island of Inagua. It was reported that the spill was the result of a Haitian sloop sinking because of bad weather conditions and the oil leaked from the vessel. The story goes on to say that this is not a new problem for them etc…

#1. If this the third reported spill, how many unreported spills have there been?

#2. There were talks about drilling for oil in our waters in the past….um MARINE LIFE hello?!!!! They do realize that if an oil spill like what happened in the Gulf in 2010 were to happen in our waters, we’d really be a 3rd world country!

#3. “Monitoring and assessing” is not fixing the doggonit problem if the sunken boat debris is being left to pile up in the marina! Let’s cook with gas and not out in the rock oven people!!
