30 reasons to travel to the Bahamas

admin

One of the main reasons so many visitors travel to the Bahamas is, of course, for its wonderfully warm climate, beautiful turquoise waters, and friendly faces. But with these 700 islands and cays off the Florida coast, it can give you 30 more reasons (and counting) for what you’re missing if you choose to just sit on the beach or stay at a resort for your entire vacation.

1. Clifton Heritage Site – If you travel to the Bahamas and visit this location, you will find that it is packed with wonderful natural evidence where you can bird watch and learn about our environment. This place is also steeped in history dating back to the slave era, where many ruins of the old slave houses still stand.

2. Garden Groves: The Garden Groves of Grand Bahama is another wildlife oasis where you can kayak, walk with birds, and learn more about the natural vegetation of Grand Bahama Island.

3. Bimini- Sapona “1920s Ruins” – If you ever travel to the Bahamas off the coast of South Bimini, Cat Cay is an old barge that was commissioned by Henry Ford in the late 1920s during the Prohibition era. Back then it was known as a “speakeasy”/private club at sea that was accessible by boat but shallow enough that divers could get there too. It came closest to the Bahamas during a hurricane in 1929.

4. Bimini Road – The legend of Bimini Road has been around for decades. Legend tells of the path that leads to the acclaimed lost city of Atlantis. Underwater archaeologists from around the world travel to the Bahamas to study the underwater wonder.

5. Bimini Myths – One of our smallest islands off the Florida coast has a lot of history and even bigger legendary myths. Spanish explorer Ponce de León is known to have explored this island in search of the acclaimed fountain of youth. The island’s tour guides will be happy to guide you to the point where it once flourished this spring.

6. Hemingway’s Fishing Lodge: You can’t travel to the Bahamas and not hear about Ernest Hemingway’s favorite fishing spot and lodge on the island of Bimini. A noted and acclaimed sport fisherman, the author was known to spend a lot of time here fishing, writing, and getting to know the locals here on Bimini.

7. Joulter Cays: Joulter Cays on Andros Island is a unique spot for those interested in “bone fishing,” bird watching, snorkeling, swimming, you name it. Such a rare and unique place in all of the Bahamas, due to its particular sand-like dust and several endangered species of animals that live there. The Bahamas National Trust is applying for it to become another protected wildlife area in the Bahamas.

8. Androsia Batik – Known as the national fabric of the Bahamas. The Androsia factor houses the original Androsia design. They come in many colors and patterns and if you get a chance to visit them one day they will show you exactly how it’s done.

9. Red Bay Village: One of the best kept secrets in the Bahamas… I didn’t even know about this one despite my trip to the Bahamas. Red Bay Village is a remote village in northern Andros that was once inhabited by an African tribe who lived as the Seminole Indians over 50 years ago. The descendants of this tribe still exist and maintain their traditions to this day.

10. Mount Alvernia – Mount Alvernia is the highest point above sea level in the Bahamas. Located on Cat Island, its highest peak will give you great panoramic views of the island.

11. Hermitage: Located on Mount Alvernia Cat Island, the Hermitage was the first Catholic church and monastery in the Bahamas dating back to the time of Columbus. This is one of the oldest relics ever found in the Bahamas.

12. Deveaux Mansion: The ruins of the Deveaux mansion are more than just another slave plantation property. Deveaux was a naval officer who helped capture Nassau from the Spanish in 1783.

13. First Land Fall Landmarks: San Salvador Island is known as the place of discovery and the initial birth of the Bahamas as we know it today. The first landfall monuments include the stone cross that is supposed to replicate the first (wooden) cross that Christopher Columbus placed on the beach the day he landed on the island and claimed it for Spain.

14. Dixon Hill Lighthouse – The Dixon Hill Lighthouse is one of the last hand-operated lighthouses in the Bahamas. Built by John Dixon on his plantation, the lighthouse uses more than 400,000 candles lit with kerosene oil to protect ships at night.

15. HMS Conqueror: HMS was an English ship that was built in 1855 in Devon, England, and served in the Crimean War. After the wreck of her ship in 1861, the ship remains sunk 30 feet into a Staghorn gully near Rum Cay in front of breaking barrier reefs. It is considered an underwater museum and is owned by the Bahamian government.

16. Fortune Island – Sometimes confusingly called Long Cay, where experts believe this was the island Columbus named after Queen Isabella of Spain for financing his exhibition. There is only one settlement called Albert Town which is considered a ghost town and is rumored to be occupied by the lost souls that once lived there. But what gives this island its acclaimed name is Fortune Hill, which is visible from 19 km (12 miles) out to sea. Legend has it that hundreds of Bahamians arrived here hoping to be picked up by ocean freighters, who would take them to their fortune and new life in Central America.

17. French Wells Bay – If you ever travel to the Bahamas, you’ll see that one of Crooked Island’s gems is French Wells Bay. It is a beautiful wetland area that is filled with dense mangroves and is home to many wild birds that come from North America to hibernate in the Bahamas during the winter months.

18. Marine Farms Fortress – Come see the abandoned British fort that defended Crooked Island and the southern Bahamas in the War of 1812.

19. US Military Base – Over the years, there have been several US military bases on various islands in the Bahamas. At least two settled on the islands of Eleuthera and another on the island of Andros. This base, however, is located in Mayaguana and was built in the 1950s. It is the only base that can be accessed with a tour guide. Many of these bases were used for training sessions for the United States Army.

20. Southwest Point – Southwest Point in Inagua is popular for its clear view of the island of Cuba from the manual lighthouse.

21. Inagua Lands & Sea Park – Home to the largest flamingo reserves in the Caribbean located on Great Inagua Island, just outside of Matthew Town.

22. Preachers Cay – Known as a safe haven for Eleutheran adventurers during the 17th century, when they first made landfall. Preachers Cave was used back then as a church meeting place by the Adventurers. The cave is located off the north coast of the island of Eleuthera.

23. Glass Window Bridge: Several miles from Preachers Cave in Eleuthera sits one of the many wonders of the world known as the Glass Window Bridge. What is so special about this place is the union of the serene turquoise waters on one side and the turbulent dark blue waters of the Atlantic on the other. Even though the bridge itself (which carries people from the north to the south of the island) has been damaged by past hurricanes and weather surges over the years, the monster of nature is truly something to marvel at.

24. Deans Blue Hole – There are many blue holes located on various islands in the Bahamas. But Deans Blue Hole, located on Deadman’s Cay, Long Island, is not only one of the deepest, it’s one of the prettiest and most easily accessible blue holes in the Bahamas. Right next to the beach and hidden under a cave like cliff, you will find it in plain sight.

25. The Pink Sands: If you ever plan to travel to the Bahamas, you must visit our Pink Sand beaches on Harbor Island, Long Island, and various parts of the island of Eleuthera. Check out the science behind it on our Harbor Island page (see benchmarks after this article)

26. Hope Town Lighthouse – The Hope Town Lighthouse in Hope Town Abaco is one of the oldest manual lighthouses in the Bahamas. It stands out from any other lighthouse in the Bahamas with its red and white horizontal stripes.

27. Loyalist Memorial – The Loyalist Memorial is a small art space of several bust figures of various members of the Loyalist community who travel to the Bahamas to avoid political persecution during the American War of Independence. The monument is a tribute to those who helped build the community not only on Abaco but also on other islands in the Bahamas.

28. Albury Boat Builders – A generation boat building company that is committed to building the best quality boats and ships in the region. If you stop by here you can learn how everything is done and meet the family.

29. Darby Castle – Darby Castle is a dilapidated old mansion located on Big Darby Island, which is one of five islands owned by the late plantation owner Sir Baxter (known as a Nazi sympathizer). In the 1800s, the Darby Islands were one of the largest employers in the southern Bahamas, producing everything from cotton to food production.

30. Pretty Molly Bay & The Hermitage In Exuma – Great Exuma is an island steeped in history and relics of old slave plantations, and stories where you can learn more about our country and its past. One of these most popular stories can be found in Pretty Molly Bay, named after the slave Pretty Molly who lived on Exuma and took her own life walking into the water. Some say they have seen her ghost enter the water at night. You will find similar stories in the Williamstown area, where many slave plantations were established.

Three Steps to a Consistent and Solid 6 Figure Income and Beyond

admin

So you’ve committed to taking your business to the next level, good! What are you doing now? It can be a bit overwhelming figuring out where to start, I know, I’ve experienced it myself and I want to make it really easy for you. The first steps are by far the most important because they determine the architecture of what you’re building, and we want it to be rock solid.

I guarantee that if you only do these three things and nothing more, you will see amazing changes, doing this attracts clients to you because your clarity becomes irresistibly attractive.

Step 1: Align your business with your Unique Brilliance

Stop wanting to fit into a model that you think you need to follow to be successful and say ‘yes’ to your Unique Brilliance, that’s what you are most passionate about and find really easy to do. Let go of everything else and focus totally on your Brilliance and you will be amazed at how much energy, excitement and creativity you can suddenly tap into. This is the best foundation for a rapidly growing business.

Step 2. Communicate a clear value proposition

Ask yourself, what do I stand for, what is the value my business offers and to whom? Be very clear so you can say it in no more than 2 sentences in simple English that a smart 5th grader can understand. This exercise will help you really fine-tune who you serve, what you do, and how you do it. There is nothing more attractive to the client than clarity. Just doing this and starting to communicate it at every opportunity will open new doors for you, guaranteed!

Step 3. Develop a business model that allows you to take advantage of your time

Charging your time by the hour will not get you a solid six figure income. I know that’s probably what everyone else around you is doing, and trust me, they’re not making anywhere near the income you’re hoping for (unless they’re working long hours, which is not the idea). Change the way you think about charging for the value you create. It doesn’t matter how much of your time and personal effort it takes to create the value, it’s about how much your customer appreciates the value. Often that means getting something done in less time. So ask yourself,

What is the real value you create and how much is that worth to your customer? How can you package what you do to sell the Value, the solution you create, instead of your time? Chances are you are currently undercharging and can increase your prices (or reduce your personal time) just by doing that.

How to tell if your reptile pet likes you

admin

I would say that most herpetologists may not be too concerned with whether or not your reptile likes them. They usually have a large collection of snakes, lizards, turtles and even frogs. They may appear well cared for on a physical level and neglected on a personal level. Reptiles are also known as “exotic pets.” The reptile trade is appalling and many people including myself do not support this trade. Around ninety-five percent of animals will die from being mistransported and insufficiently cared for on their journey to and from different countries.

Just like children, animals are a reflection of their home life, and their happiness and satisfaction will largely depend on the quality time you are willing to spend with them. Reptiles are very ancient creatures that go back a long way in history. All reptiles are ectothermic, therefore they show affection a little differently than a cat or dog. In the wild, they can almost stop their heartbeat. They have the ability to slow down their metabolism in winter to hibernate, this is also known as brumation.

I have had a pet lizard since he was only two weeks old, he is a mischievous, happy and content twelve year old. He behaves similar to a dog in slow motion. He has been tamed, for example, when I call him, he usually responds by turning his body and looking in the direction of my voice. I need to call his name several times before he approaches me. Reptiles do not require daily feeding. They can go weeks without eating, especially if they are in hibernation mode. How do you know your reptile likes you?

They will feel comfortable around you. If you have created a truly successful bond, they will allow you to hand feed them without biting. This is the strongest indication that they have accepted you as their trusted friend.

When my pet wants attention, he sticks his head out of his enclosure indicating that he wants to go for a run. She has now decided that she wants to eat her vegetable puree with a plastic spoon once a week. This unusual habit came after she underwent a belly operation two years ago to remove a fatty tumor. She expects to be spoon-fed and knows when I am preparing her food. You’d think he was almost psychic.

My snake “Tilly” used to take my glasses off when he wanted my attention by kissing my face similar to how a cat does. She would always choose the most awkward moment to do this. I never turned her down. She loved her cold-blooded affection and I was honored that my pet had allowed me to bond so closely with them. Not many reptile handlers can say they have been that close to a reptile. Building a bond of trust between you and your reptile takes time, patience, and consistency, especially with reptiles. These cold-blooded beauties have fascinated me for many years. I have watched their antics in the wild, marveling at their uncanny ability to change colors so quickly and so often due to their moods and the different temperatures of the day. They are very diverse animals and well adapted to survive in the wild. As a reptile handler, I have learned that you can never own them. You share your time and the enthusiastic passion you have with them. I have a wonderful bond with my pet lizard Abbott.
