So I'm trying to get myself (and my boat!) over to the Bahamas in June. My lovely wife asked, "Why don't we just leave the boat there all summer! We can fly back and use it like a condo when we want to!" So I thought that sounded like an excellent idea, then remembered hurricanes, and thought about theft.
Is there a "safe place" to leave the boat on a mooring or a marina? I can't imagine anywhere in the Bahamas would be safe during a direct hit hurricane, but maybe I'm wrong. I would also have to change my insurance coverage I realize.
What about theft on a boat left on a mooring or marina? I'm thinking mostly dingy and outboard I guess.
I know many here have cruised the Bahamas (and Caribbean) extensively.
