    Hey gang.
    Saturday, 2pm. My daughter and six of her high school friends were on Harbor Is. and they are stuck in Eluthera now. Broken plane.
    They all have connecting flights etc and are screwed without a place to stay tonight but I'm just looking into ferry service.
    I know there are ferries from Nassau but does anyone know the best way to get back to Palm Beach or even Ft. Lauderdale?
    Anyone over there today by boat & headed back to FL? A lot of parents will pony up $$$

    Chartering a plane is probably the only way to go except catching the ferry to Nassau where a flight maybe easier to get

    that said you probably don’t want high schoolers alone in Nassau hunting for a hotel. Not the safest place.

    SOLVED!!

    Thanks Pascal, that's exactly what we did. Chartered a plane & all of the girls are on their way to FLL as we speak. A pack of pretty little 17 and 18 year old girls from Greenwich, CT walking around in Nassau isn't a great idea.

    Glad it worked out! Spring break travel to the Bahamas is tough as all the flights are full as well as hotels and marinas
