Just wonder if anyone could recommend any web sites that list affordable cruising sailboats (< $100K) for sale in the Bahamas?
I've tried Craigslist and YachtWorld without much luck. I'm wondering if Bahamian laws make it too expensive to sell there?
Any help is appreciated.

Hello,
I have questions about traffic I guess. How often do you actually run into people out of port? Local/Gov officals? If I do not land in the bahamas and cruise through is it mandatory to check it? I've searched and its a bit muddled to me.. If it is posted and I missed it, I apologize...

Hey y'all!
We are a couple guys who bought a Hunter 340 In Corpus Christie, TX about 4 weeks ago with the intention of sailing to the Bahamas, and, with any luck, down through the Virgin Islands. At the time, we had very little sailing experience, but we are quickly learning the ropes.
