 It’s summer time and the boating season we all have been waiting for is finally here! Talkin’ Tourism is getting in on the action and heading over to Grand Bahama Island on one of the Bahamas Ministry of
Tourism Boating Flings
on Friday, June 17th
to bring you this week’s show from Port Lucaya Marina, Grand Bahama.
The boating flings are organized by the Ft. Lauderdale, Florida Bahamas Tourism Office to promote boating to the Islands of the Bahamas. The primary purpose of these summer flotillas is to familiarize boaters who have never made the Gulf Stream crossing. Only 68 nautical miles away from the Treasure Coast, Grand Bahama Island is our nearest island neighbor and this beautiful island is no stranger to Talkin’ Tourism! Since the inception of the show in 2009, Talkin’ Tourism has broadcast three shows from Grand Bahama. Here comes number four!
Since show co-host Robin Hicks-Connors (aka History Lady) is heading to a wedding this weekend, Gary Guertin (aka Radio Man) has found a wonderful co-host, Cacique Award winner Tony “Macaroni” Hanna, who will be mixing up the show with his great sense of humor, perfect common sense and total commitment to hospitality and tourism. And, with probably no prompting, he'll be certain to share with our listeners why his roasted conch is one of Radio Man’s favorites.
Here's the guest line-up:
-
Betty Bethel, representative of the Grand Bahama Island Ministry of Tourism Office who will fill us in on upcoming GBI summer events and activities
-
Shamine Johnson, manager of the Marina Operators of the Bahamas organization
-
Richard Treco, manager of vertical markets-boating and diving with the Ft. Lauderdale Bahamas Tourist Office, and
-
Karen Pinder, manager of Port Lucaya Marina.
There may be other surprise guests as well, so tune in!
As always, we will explore Treasure Coast/Bahamas connections otherwise known as the “Flahama Connection." You may want to be sipping a Bahama Mama, Goombay Smash or a Gully Wash while listening to this show!
The fun begins Friday morning at 10:05 a.m. on your radio dial at WPSL 1590 AM or on your computer at http://www.wpsl.com from Port Lucaya Marina, Grand Bahama Island. Yea, Mon!
