Bahamas Florida Boating business threatened
American authorities have begun enforcing an old law that requires U.S. pleasure boaters returning from the Bahamas to check in with immigration authorities -- even if they've just been island hopping here.
For years, boaters returning from a quick visit to another country could
simply telephone Customs officials and be on their way. But since last
year, officials have been enforcing a law that requires boaters to
appear at a local immigration office within 24 hours of returning from a
trip to a foreign county. Otherwise, they face a $3,000 fine.
Quick boating trips are common in Florida, with the Bahamian island of
Bimini only 55 miles away. Some boaters say the self-reporting policy
only inconveniences law-abiding citizens and questioned its
effectiveness.

Potters
Cay Dock To Be Transformed
Vendors at Potters Cay Dock were told Tuesday that
changes are on the way.
This was the message brought by Ministry of Health
Parliamentary Secretary Ron Pinder, as he spoke to the vendors during a
consultative meeting to discuss how best they could improve the
appearance and sanitation of the Potter's Cay Dock.
Mr. Pinder explained that the government intends to
transform the dock area into a place that can be comparable to anywhere
in the world.
Historically, Potters Cay Dock was mainly a port of
call for Family Island mail boats and a commercial hub for marine, fruit
and vegetable vendors to sell their products.
However, during the 1980s
the practice of preparing conch dishes, mainly salads began and it grew
exponentially, with many additions being added accounting for the boom
of full-scale restaurants born from the conversion of marine stalls,
changed the whole landscape of the dock. |
