We finally made it to the tropics! Well, just barely. The Tropic of Cancer, the northern boundary of what is officially called the tropics, passes right through the middle of Long Island. And it was definitely worth the effort. It’s a beautiful, friendly and relaxing place.
Long Island sustained quite a bit of damage from hurricane Joaquin and they are still rebuilding. Some things won’t ever be rebuilt since they are just gone. We spent some time talking with locals who described the 36 hours the hurricane sat over the island. Not a pleasant memory! Hurricane Matthew then added to the work load this year.
But the people, like most Bahamians, are resilient and still very pleasant and welcoming. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and would love to come back!
