diwestender, DonnaAZ, I called my friend yesterday am she thinks her house is gone, but for some reason I think it might not be. I do know the smaller islands do not have any true radio communications to speak of. It appeard Acklns like Cat Isl. for the most part isolated. I have copied & pasted info about the islands to give you an idea. I am searching the net hoping to find any thing helpful. I'll post information when I can.
Acklins
One of the least known islands of The Bahamas, Acklins comprises the southern and southeastern part of the chain. The terrain is hilly and desolate, with unusual rock formations, and varied plant and animal life, including an occasional swamp turtle. Along its coastline are numerous hidden coves with extensive, beautiful beaches and a number of tiny, colorful, villages.
The island is so quiet that you can hear the tropical breezes blow and the natives say that you have to "make your own sunshine:" in other words, you are on your own. Bonefishing, deep-sea fishing, sailing, scuba diving, snorkeling, swimming and sunbathing are ideal activities.
The population of Acklins was 428, and Crooked Island 350, at the 2000 census. |
