Hello boaters, We are sharing a brief survey organized by the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism regarding current and/or potential need for dry dock storage and marine services for your boat (or future boat) on the island of Eleuthera. They are currently exploring the viability of a dry rack boat storage system, moorings and a small marina (to be located near The Market Supermarket in Rock Sound, Eleuthera). As part of their research, kindly participate in the short survey. The survey (CLICK HERE for the link) should only take 3-5 minutes to complete and will remain confidential. Your responses will be used solely for internal analysis and planning purposes.

Starting on August 1, all dogs entering the U.S. (including those that left the U.S. and are returning, and regardless of the country they are coming from) must be: • healthy upon arrival • at least 6 months of age • microchipped • accompanied by a CDC Dog Import Form receipt and required vaccination and veterinary documents. Additional requirements may apply depending on where the dog has been in the last 6 months and whether or not the dog was vaccinated in the United States. Use CDC’s Q&A tool (the CDC “DogBot”) to determine what rules apply to your dog: https://bit.ly/2rww2bq *Note: The Bahamas is NOT on the list high-risk for dog rabies list.
