After visiting the Bahamas<\/a> in January 2019, I was so impressed by the beautiful shores, incredible sailing conditions and sandy white beaches. The most striking part of the Abacos Islands are the beautiful people who call these islands home. The landscape, culture and sense of community make the Abacos <\/a>Islands one of the most striking sailing destinations on this globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Devastatingly, the Abacos<\/em><\/strong> Islands of the Bahamas <\/a>have suffered great loss and tragedy following the 185 mile an hour hurricane on the 1st of September that ripped away the lives and community of the Abacos Islands. Lives and jobs have been destroyed which risks in damaging the entire spirit and livelihood of many islands in the Abacos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When will it be back to normal?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Almost 90% of the infrastructure in the Abacos Islands has been destroyed in the force 5 hurricane. Not only homes, business and boats, but human life has also been lost due to the devastating hurricane Dorian. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The likelihood is that by April 2020 the Abacos infrastructure will be on its way back to normality. The best thing to do to support the people of the Abacos is to visit this destination to promote jobs and the economy to help save the Abacos Islands and the long-standing community within Bahamian paradise. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is being done to help the situation in the Bahamas? <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The USAID has reported to allocate $2.8 million in emergency supplies alongside the Red Cross. The UK Royal Navy will aim to evacuate Abacos sufferers to Nassau. If you are looking to fly to help this situation, the flight to Marsh harbor would be required. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can you help the situation in the Abacos?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To support the Bahamas<\/a>, do not stop visiting the island as the islands of the Exumas. They have not been greatly affected by hurricane damage and rely on tourism to thrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pre-planning spared most of the boats in the Abacos<\/a> and these boats were safely moved to the Exumas. Most of the Bahamas is safe to visit with minimalistic damage. The Abacos are the main sufferers of this natural disaster. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
