n Part I, Sheryl Shard ended the story at June and the start
of Hurricane Season when they were once again joined by
friends. Sheryl writes...
This time it was Noel and Tracey Dinan, whose new shallow-draft Allures 49.5 was in build at the time, we headed north
from the Exumas across the expanse of the Great Bahama Bank,
dodging coral patches as we sailed to Eleuthera then Marsh
Harbour, Great Abaco. As this was another commercial centre in
the islands, we cleared out of the Bahamas here after provisioning for our offshore passage up to the Chesapeake Bay on the US
mainland and out of the Hurricane Zone until mid-November,
18
when our yacht insurance company, Pantaenius UK, considered
Hurricane Season over. Until that date we could not have the
boat south of 30.5 degrees North, which is just near Jacksonville,
Florida. In Annapolis, Maryland, we were well out of the zone

sailed with us before. The weather was cold for that time of
the year, but with a hearty crew and a weather window of good
winds to cross the Gulf Stream further south in a couple of days,
we headed off and arrived in the Northern Bahamas at West End,
Grand Bahama where the Old Bahama Bay Marina and Resort
was just re-opening following a devastating hit from Hurricane
Dorian the previous September. After being at sea for a few
nights it was nice to get ashore in such a lovely place, but the
rest of the island was off-limits as it was in a state of emergency
recovery still.
For a little background on the Bahamas, or more properly,
the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, this is a nation of island
groups that lies in the Atlantic Ocean, north of Cuba, Dominican
Republic and Haiti; northwest of the Turks and Caicos; and
southeast of Florida in the United States. The Bahamas became
independent from the United Kingdom on July 10, 1973, but still
retains membership in the Commonwealth of Nations, recognizing Queen Elizabeth II as monarch and having a GovernorGeneral and Prime Minister. So, as Canadians with a similar
