Between the "poles" of <a href="http://www.gobahamas.com/bsgbin01.htm" target="_self">Grand Bahama</a> and Great Inagua are 23 inhabited islands and thousands of unpopulated islets and cays (pronounced "keys"). Cosmopolitan <a href="bsnpin01.htm" target="_self">Nassau</a>, once ruled by <a href="pirates01.htm" target="_self">pirates</a>, seems a world away from the desert-like wildlife sanctuary of <a href="bsinin01.htm" target="_self">Inagua</a>. On many of the islands, tiny villages seem lifted from the Massachusetts coast and set down amongst palms and pines and iridescent sands. These beautiful islands lie only 50 miles off the Florida coast - far closer than any destination in the Caribbean.</font><a href="main1.html" target="_self"><img src="arrow1.gif" border="0" width="125" height="9"></a></td> </tr> </table> </center></div><p align="center"><a href="http://www.geographia.com/bestfitacc/cntinfo.asp?Country=4&agency_id=0" target="_self"><img border="0" src="fallsalehoriz01.jpg" width="350" height="75"></a><font size="4">  </font><p align="center"><font size="4"><font color="#008080">Our newsgroup feature is back!  <a href="http://www.geographia.com/newsbahamas" target="_self">Come Visit</a></font><br> </font><img src="line.gif" width="550" height="1">  </td> </tr> </table> </center></div><div align="center"><center> <table border="0" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="0" width="550"> <tr> <td valign="top"><p align="center"><a href="map.htm" target="_self"><br> <br> <img src="palm1.jpg" border="0" width="45" height="59"></a> <br> <a href="map.htm" target="_self"><font color="#FF6600" size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica"><b>THE ISLANDS</b></font></a> <br> <font color="#008080">Learn about what there is to see</font> <font color="#008080">and do on the main islands as you "island-hop" <br> using a clickable map.</font> </p> <p align="center"><br> <a href="bahistory.htm" target="_self"><img src="canon1.JPG" border="0" width="85" height="39"></a><br> <a href="bahistory.htm" target="_self"><font color="#FF6600" size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica"><b>HISTORY</b></font></a> <br> <font color="#008080">A brief look at the history <br> of the Bahamas.</font> </p> <p align="center"><a href="thepeople.htm" target="_self"><img src="lady1.jpg" border="0" width="60" height="47"></a>  <br> <a href="thepeople.htm" target="_self"><font color="#FF6600" size="2" face="Arial,Helvetica"><b>THE PEOPLE</b></font></a> <br> <font color="#008080">Why are those Bahamians always smiling?
