The Weather's fine...

The climate of the Bahamas varies from subtropical to tropical, and the islands are usually warm and sunny throughout the year. The weather in the island nation, particularly in the winter, is greatly influenced by the waters of the Gulf Stream, a powerful, warm and swift Atlantic Ocean current that influences the climate of the east coast of North America.

The tropical weather makes the Bahamas a pleasant destination year-round, with the Gulf Stream and trade winds maintaining an even temperature ranging from 20 to 30 degrees Celsius during the day and 17 to 21 degrees Celsius at night. However, it is advisable to carry lightweight, tropical clothing and a light sweater or wrap for eveningwear while visiting the islands. Dress codes are integral to Bahamian culture, thus, some hotels may require men to wear a jacket and tie for dinner. Beachwear is considered inappropriate in downtown Nassau's churches, restaurants and casinos.

A typical rainy season in Bahamas is from month May to October, which is also considered to be the off-season. However, many visitors enjoy traveling to the islands during the off-season because of the discounts given by most hotels. Sometimes hurricanes also occur from July through November, which makes the island quite dangerous during the summer and autumn season. In case of hurricane warnings, most hotels issue a refund; it is advisable to check directly with the lodging management or the travel agent before booking your reservation.

The best season to visit the Bahamas is between the months of January through May, when the trade winds provide a constant breeze, making the island warm and pleasant. Although the weather is somewhat unstable, it remains nice through out the year, though it is advisable to schedule your vacation outside the hurricane season.

FYI: Facts about The ahamas

When most people  they think of The Bahamas, think of a single island. Or an area. Wrong.

The Bahamas is a country. A country of 700 different islands and cays, stretching southeast off the Florida coast. 

And if you've been thinking about an island vacation, you won't find more islands, or more interesting islands, than right here in the country of 700 islands and cays.

Our islands differ physically: pine f orests, white sandy beaches, limestone caves, lush plantations, bonefishing flats and the world's third largest barrier reef.

They differ historically: Indigenous Arawak Indians, Seminole Indians from Florida, E leutheran Adventurers from England, post-Revolutionary planters from Carolina and pirates all settled here. Even Columbus paid us a visit in 1492.

And because each of our islands retains its individu al character, each has something unique and unexpected to contribute to your island vacation. We've got islands so secluded, only the lighthouse keeper has a telephone. Islands where everything swings from casino to golf course.

 Islands for the count ry-club set, where tennis overlooks mile-long beaches. Islands bustling with colonial charm. Islands for frogman and islands for fisherman. Even our islands have islands- a Sunfish sail from nearly any beach can become a voyage of discovery.

700 islands. Think about it. We're bound to have more beaches. More water sports. More golf and tennis. More everything you come to the islands for.
And because nature keeps just enough seperation between our islands experiences, you can really get into the ones you choose. Whatever your pleasure, there's an island for you in The Bahamas. 

Day 2 enjoy

I have nothing to do today.... I'll enjoy the peace and quiet the likes of which I have grown accustomed.
Still learning  about blogging and setting up this site... it looks a little shabby now, but give me a little time to get used to the tools. Let me be the first to say good morning to everybody.

I love The Bahamas

I confess... I love The Bahamas. Not just because of the awesome beauty, but the people (for the most part) are platinum. Never in all my life have I met a more down-to-earth and genuine group of people... and I have travelled more than most. 

I remember my father telling me of the days when people could go to sleep with their doors unlocked... I never imagined such places existed anymore until I moved to Eleuthera (one of the larger Bahamian Family Islands). 

Sure I've been to New Providence, the capital city here in The Bahamas, but it is just that... a CITY. Mind you, it still has that islandy charm, but it has become very commercialized and urban. The true beauty of The Bahamas is located in the Family of Islands. 

Those are the places where you see the awesome beaches, the beautiful pink sand, limestone cliff faces, blue holes, pink flamingoes and the like.

Two days ago I went fishing from the dock and caught 2 grey snappers. Now, you've got to understand that THE BEST FEELING IN THE WORLD is the moment after you've hooked a fish... from the dock... the dock that's a few yards from your home. Fresh fish, from the sea to the grill tastes AWESOME!
