While attempting to rebuild and recover from one of the deadliest hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, the country shuttered and restricted in-nation travel. Now, the Bahamas is opening up.
Black is crossing over Monday with a friend to help him deliver his boat. By the end of the month, Black has two fishing trips chartered by customers to fish out of Grand Cay, one of the islands in the Abacos hardest hit by Hurricane Dorian last September.
Perhaps one of the worst parts of the equation is that Bahamians derive the bulk of their income from tourism. Fishing, diving and soaking up the sun reportedly generates $5.7 billion for the economy. After Dorian, the majority of the assistance — building supplies, generators, water, diapers, canned goods and medical help — came from their Florida neighbors. Black ferried over supplies on a number of trips aboard his 53-foot Hatteras, The Duchess.
Hotels have reopened, but only for staff to enact all the measures required to ensure the hotels are ready to welcome guests at the onset of Phase 2.
