Today, you can use my experiences from many years in the beautiful waters of the Bahamas as a guide for planning your own dream vacation. I invite you to visit our gallery of photos to view pictures of some of the most beautiful places I have seen and experienced over the years.

My good friend Johan from Kristiansand, Norway last March near my house in Little Harbour.

The pristine waters, magnificent beaches, and friendly people have made the islands one of the premier vacation destinations in the world. Located a mere 60 miles east of the coast of Florida and extending for hundreds of miles down to the Caribbean, the islands are easily accessible as many flights arrive daily from the US and Europe.

The weather in the islands is perfect most of the year but can be very dynamic and unstable during the hurricane season of August, September and October. I have been in several hurricanes including one with my family at our house on the island of Great Abaco. That storm blew over 80 Miles per hour, and after it passed my 8 year old son Cody was disappointed when the wind started to subside as he was having fun helping me secure the house and our boats which were in the water.

I was sailing and fishing near my house recently when I passed this sailing yacht "Meteor" port to port.

Christopher Columbus was the first tourist to discover the islands when he landed on the island of San Salvador in 1492. The Spaniards named the large area of islands and shallow waters "Baja Mar", or low sea, which eventually became the Bahamas. The 500 year history of the Baja Mar is very colorful and diverse, filled with French settlers, British loyalists, Spanish Dons, English Lords, Pirates and Rogues.

There are many different ways to visit the wonderful watery world of the Bahamas. From the fabulous 5 star resorts and small guest houses to the many vacation rental homes that are scattered throughout the Family Islands. Whatever your choice, you will be rewarded with memories, stories and dreams that will last a lifetime. Capt. Buck
