Held in Eleuthera, this annual fundraising cycling event will take place on March 20, 2010. The historic town of Governor's Harbour is the starting point this year, where lots of people have booked accommodations for the weekend in order to enjoy the local ambience and either ride or support the riders. It is open to all ages, and all levels of cycling experience. Three year olds rode last year, and many mothers had babies in wagons attached to their bikes. The event raised over $320,000 in 2009 and will surely break that record this year. Damianos Sotheby's International Realty is the proud sponsor of six riders, and all the Eleuthera sales agents will be on hand to cheer them on. It promises to be an unforgettable weekend!

  NASSAU, Bahamas -- Welcome back to all the LCIS students, staff and parents who returned from Kampala, Uganda after their recent Community Service trip.

Friends of the Environment seeks to keep its members and other interested parties aware of pertinent environmental issues happening in Abaco as well as throughout The Bahamas. To that end, we feel that the community should be aware of a possible business venture preparing to commercially net yellow fin tuna in Bahamian waters. As many of you may already know, there is a fishing vessel docked in Grand Bahama that is equipped to commercially harvest Yellow Fin Tuna with a purse seine net. It appears that some of the proposed fishing grounds may include Abaco and the Tongue of the Ocean. Due to the current dismal state of Yellow Fin Tuna stocks and the inevitable threat of bycatch (such as marine mammals, sea turtles, sharks and juveniles of many species), FRIENDS urges the Bahamas Governm...

  We now liken it to a luxury walking of the plank. When the boat for our snorkel-and-beach excursion pulled up in front of beautiful Cape Santa Maria Beach in the Bahamas in three or so metres of water, we were suddenly told we'd have to swim the 100 metres to shore holding our personal belongings above our heads as we did so. Incredulous gasps all round, especially from the ladies who were using the entire outing as a sunbathing exercise and hadn't even gotten their hair wet yet. But our tour guide -- the big and affable Sanfred Rolle -- laughed and said he was deadly serious. The boat would get stuck if it went in any further. Anyways, he'd help. And so started the convoy, with some jumping off the prow of the boat and others stepping in carefully off the back platform. My wife swam...

If you’ve always hankered after a home in the Caribbean, take heart. White-sand bays and palms can be yours for less than an apartment in the Med. Adventurous investors might take a punt on emerging markets like Dominican Republic, Aruba and Jamaica for some of the best value for money in this region. But if a little slice of luxury is more your style, glamorous tax havens such as the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands are now open to negotiations. “The recession has taken all the easy money off the table,” says George Damianos, President of Damianos Sotheby’s International Realty in the Bahamas. “Like everywhere else, prices were ahead of value. Now sellers have become more realistic and buyers, though cautious, are taking advantage.” If you can bag a deal, the Bahamas is an attr...

Smugglers, pirates and loyalists to the Crown were the first to settle in the Bahamas. These days, the new wave of incomers arrive seeking leisure, pleasure and financial opportunities on the 700-odd islands and cays that make up the Bahamas. The capital Nassau, on New Providence Island, is the heartbeat of the islands. Independent from Britain since 1973, the country has become synonymous with the 'offshore banking' industry. 'The business is done in Nassau,' says Jason Callender, vice president of Albany, a £2 billion resort community in development on the island. 'Plenty of hedge funds and trading take place here.' Encouraged by a highly competitive tax regime - no income tax, capital gains tax, wealth tax or VAT - the Bahamas have become home to wealthy individuals seeking to avoid ...

Canadian developers are flocking to the Bahamas to feed a growing demand for luxury sand-side digs What is the latest thing on the wish list of very rich Canadians? It is not the newest high-end Mercedes or even that $300,000 Rolls-Royce or Bentley. Nor is it a penthouse in one of Toronto’s growing crop of ultra-luxury condominiums. They probably already have both. What seems to be hot right now is a winter – or even year-round – mini-palace in the Bahamas: Places on or near the beach with price tags that start at $5-million (U.S.) and run up from there. If you have any doubts, look at Ocean Club Estates on Paradise Island, just east of Atlantis and a short ferry ride or drive from Nassau. Canadians now own an estimated 30 per cent of the 90 $4-million to $20-million homes there, accord...
