Set foot on the southern islands of the Bahamas and it doesn’t take long to see why so many cruising sailors are smitten by them. We toured a few of these gems by plane this spring, when we went to check out the damage caused by Hurricane Joaquin, a category four storm that hit the islands hard just seven months earlier. Even on the remote outposts far to the south, repairs are well underway and people are returning to their homes and businesses as life there gets back to normal.
