I wouldn't be counting on that.
Just as other cruisers in the Bahamas, we are not planning to travel ‘like nothing has happened’, rather will strictly follow Bahamian guidelines and mandates.

We have been cruising for 6 weeks, cleared Bahamian customs/immigration 10 days ago and have been at anchor since. Currently at least a mile from 4 other US and Canadian boats. Sufficient for ‘social distancing’? We have fuel, food, water and supplies for 60-90 days, including what’s necessary to return to the US, and do not intend to be a burden.

The Bahamas consist of 100’s of small islands/cays, most uninhabited and separated by lots of water. Easy to be as anti-social as you wish.

The Bahamians are concerned with minimizing social contact and the devastating loss off tourism. We are meeting the first concern and helping a little with the second.
