Cruising under Covid-19 pandemic
The Prime Minister of the Bahamas closed the borders of the Bahamas by air and sea on April 8 and put a shelter in place order which was extended until May 30 and encouraged pleasure boats to leave. Cruisers were locked down over Easter Holiday and during weekends and then that was extended to no going ashore. With those restrictions in place, we crossed back to Rock Sound Eleuthera and then as weather permitted stopped at Alabaster Bay, Hatchet Bay, Spanish Wells and Royal Island retracing our path back to the Berry Islands. We anchored at Devils Hoffman and then Slaughter Harbour before our final docking at Great Harbour Cay Marina before our planned crossing back to Florida on May 3rd and 4th. Social distancing Last catch of the day The new normal with face masks Cruising with corona virus Mangrove snapper was our fishing finale
