A Bahamas Citizenship: Not as Easy as you Might Think - Mar 18, 2010 - 1:40:38 PM
Obtaining a
Bahamas citizenship is not as easy as you might think. Even if you were
born in the Bahamas, it does not mean that you are entitled to
citizenship. There are many strict rules and regulations in the
Constitution of the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, dated July 10, 1973,
with regard to a Bahamian citizenship.
It is possible to
acquire a Bahamian citizenship if you have resided in the Bahamas for an
extended period of time (approximately 6 to 9 years) and have lived
there for a minimum of 12 consecutive months.
Your chances of obtaining citizenship are even
greater if you
plan to remain in the country permanently and know the Bahamian language
and customs. You must also be a law-abiding resident and an individual
of ‘good’ character...

Vacations.com reports on the Sip Sip Restaurant in Eleuthera - Jul 16, 2009 - 10:11:39 AM
Vacations.com - Have you ever flipped through the pages of a travel magazine and
wondered how all the people in the photos could look so well-coiffed
and serene? I discovered exactly how last week on my Caribbean vacation
in Eluethera, Bahamas.
After a full morning of boogie boarding in the aquamarine waters off Surfer's Beach,
my family was starving. We made our way to the northern end of the
island and hired a water taxi to take us on the ten-minute ride to Harbour Island.
Once there, we rented golf carts, the cay’s preferred mode of
transportation, and puttered past the town’s colorful clapboard houses
to Sip Sip’s, one of our favorite lunch spots...

Dive into The Bahamas - Jan 7, 2009 - 12:20:31 PM
The
Times Online travel section says, The name for The Bahamas comes from “baja mar”, Spanish for “shallow sea”, most appropriate as many of the islands are surrounded by seductive turquoise water made luminous by the sunlight reflecting up from the shallow sandy bottom.
However, its 700 islands and sandy cays offer plenty of adventurous playgrounds for divers, whether just starting out or more experienced, to explore.
The most popular destinations are New Providence, with its capital city Nassau, and Grand Bahama, both providing some of the best and most varied diving of all. The Tongue of the Ocean is a dark blue shape on the map that licks round the western side of New Providence so that it’s surrounded by deep blue water...

Free Seafood Watch Guide helps Bahamians Make Healthy Choices for Healthy Oceans - Dec 17, 2008 - 9:44:50 PM
Bahamians depend on marine resources for food, recreation and employment. The choices we make today on the seafood we eat will have a significant impact on our resources in the future. Dolphin Encounters has created a Seafood Watch Guide that has listed the best seafood choices to make and which seafood should be avoided based on the season, the way it was caught or farmed, or whether it contains mercury or other contaminants.
The recommendations which list both Bahamian and U.S. seafood choices were compiled in conjunction with the Bahamas Reef Environment Educational Foundation (BREEF) and the
Monterey Bay Aquarium and Foundation.
“The Seafood Watch Guide was created to help all consumers of local or foreign seafood make educated decisions about what they are eating and buying...

Long Island, Bahamas-Livin Like A Native - Sep 16, 2007 - 2:26:39 PM
If you have never been to Long Island, this article may give you a bit of a taste of it. Written by a travel writer "Lynn" who was given the opportunity to travel along with her Bahamian friend to visit for a Cartwright family reunion in July, 2007.
"It is worth noting that the island is a bit over 100 miles long, with one major asphalt road (The Queen's Road, which our friend’s uncle developed the 1960s) that runs the length, along the leeward shore of the island. In places the island may be six miles wide. Rough roads that connect from the Queen's Road to the rocky, windward shore are few and far between, due to the cost of bush hogging and putting in a (typically very steep) road. A consequence is that the beaches are deserted. It also helps that less than 5000 people live year-round on the island, so the island is indeed sparsely populated."

Foodways in The Bahamas - May 24, 2007 - 9:32:09 AM
Settlement patterns and migration trends indicate that the major influences on Bahamian cooking came from Africa, England, America and the West Indies. While the cooking of peas, beans and okra soup is probably of African origin, Guava duff was made by steaming the indigenous fruit, like an English pudding. Cooking grits was transferred from the American south...
