Summer,
1998
The 35 room
club Peace and Plenty closed September 1st for some refurbishing
and staff vacations, and will re-open on October 8, 1998. While
the club is closed the 16 room Peace and Plenty Beach Inn will be
open to welcome any guests that enjoy CAL weather (makes for excellent
snorkeling and fishing), and an exceptionally uncrowded environment.
The Beach Inn will close for painting and vacations October 8 to
22nd.
Ocean Bight
resort project called “Emerald Bay”, has started construction
of their hotel, golf course, marina, condos and houses, a few miles
north of the Exuma International airport. Emerald Bay will be low-rise
(2 story) and environmentally friendly; with an exciting Greg Norman
golf course and prospects of increased air service. They are shooting
for a December 1999 opening.
Exuma lost a
friend in Pat Nesbitt, wife of Bob Nesbitt, and an allied member
of the Caribbean Hotel and Bahamas Hotel Associations, who died
recently of lung cancer. Pat got a great deal of pleasure planning
of new home on a fantastic lot high above the out island inn with
sweeping views of Elizabeth Harbor. Bob and her were getting ready
to build. The family asked that in lieu of flowers, donations be
made to the Exuma Resource Center at the Benjamin Foundation building
for local education.
In preparation
for this winter season the Peace and Plenty hotels are inviting
world-renown chefs to show our staff their award winning dishes.
First on the list was a friend, Chef Dan Patlach, whose parents
owned a house on Exuma for many years. Everyone at the Beach Inn
and Club Peace and Plenty enjoyed Chef Dan s amazing array of entrees.
We hope to have several more visiting chefs provide some tips to
our staff over the next few months creating additional excitement
with our fine cuisine.
The Bahamas
national Bonefishing Tournament sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism
and under the direction of the Peace and Plenty s Bonefish Lodge
managing partner, Bob Hyde, was held on Grand Bahama Island in July.
Champions of each major island competed for the all Bahamas trophy
and for a slot in the Bahamas International World Bonefishing Championship
also on Grand Bahama Island in November 1998. We are pleased to
announce that Peace and Plenty Bonefish guide J.J. Dames won the
tournament and will carry the Bahamas banner in the World championship.
We are betting the farm on J.J!
Best regards,
from the owners, management and staff and a warm initiation to visit
us this fall.....
