There is a Pelican here who used to Manage the Green Turtle Cay resort near Abaco. I think he lives in Georgia now, his user name is escaping me right now.
I am so heartbroken for the kind people of the Abacos. If anyone is looking here put the Abacos on your bucket list for next summer. Yes, they will bounce right back they are resilient like that. Go to the outer islands and see the pink sand beaches.
Go to Nippers on Great Guana Cay and drink and enjoy the debauchery.
So many cool places. We stayed on Scotland Cay and I remember visiting Man-O-War while still sober (since IIRC it is a dry Island) and the people in the shops were super cool.
The entire region is remarkable in beauty and in hospitality. Thinking of going to the south Pacific? Skip it and come support the good people of the Abacos and northern Bahamas. Trust me by spring next year they will be back. That is how they roll.
