ISLAND HPPING

Welcome to Island Hopping!

The Closing of Island Hopping!!!

As of October 30, 2010, I will remove Island Hopping from the World Wide Web. However, I, along with my publisher, have created a new website. Seaworthy.com, that has incorporated both Island Hopping and my Publisher's old website. I invite all of my friends and supporters to check out our new site, it has all of the information you can find on Island Hopping along with a lot of new data and numerous new photos of various areas and marinas.

We also have a Community Forum that we designed for cruisers to participate in a sharing of knowledge; to pass along the latest cruising news and their own personal reflections on any particular area or subject.

And don't forget to register which opens up some features that are unavailable for unregistered guests such as the ability to submit an article for publication on the site, and to download PDF files of the latest updates for my cruising guides.

For more information visit the Newsflash page.

The Puerto Rico Guide has just been published in a new edition which contains new color aerial photos and updated charts.

For those of you interested in purchasing any of my books, I have a new arrangement with my publisher that allows you to buy any of my cruising guides, or for that matter, any book my publisher sells, at a 5% discount. My publisher is also currently running a Spring Fever Promotion for even larger discounts. For more information visit Seaworthy.com.

The Charts page has been updated with a chart of Green Cay. Green Cay lies on the western edge of the Great Bahama Bank, just east of Andros across the Tongue of the Ocean. The chart is shown in both The Exuma Guide and the Northern Bahamas Guide. For more information contact Seaworthy Publications.

The Rants page has been updated with tales of pirates and smugglers in The Bahamas in modern times, particularly during the drug-crazed years between 1970-1990.

The Bahamas have just announced that all imported parts pertaining to the

repair of boats are now duty-free, for more information visit the Newsflash page.

For those of you needing information about your upcoming cruise, such as a history of your destination, a list of marinas (some with photos), Customs and Immigration regulations, currency information, a discussion of hurricane holes, rum, and information about local cultures, visit the Data page for a complete listing of the relevant Appendices.

On the Updates and Corrections page you can update your books with the latest on what's happening locally for each guide. It's an imperfect world so mistakes do occur, catching and correcting them is what's important, hence the new page. For instance, my new Northwest Caribbean Guide has just been published and already the marina in Port Antonio, Jamaica, has changed names...check the Updates page for more information.

I've updated the Links page once again, removing several links that were no longer active, and adding several new ones. I'll continue to add links as you send them in so keep 'em coming.

On the STEP page, you'll notice an update that will let you know about the support the government of the Bahamas has offered to STEP, Save The Exuma Park.
