Red Cross President Edison Sumner says, the organization is working to strengthen its presence outside New Providence.
Megan ShepherdHOST
including establishing more physical facilities across the country.
Edison SumnerSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
So this year we are going through the process of re-engaging all of our family islands and on each of those islands we are going to be acquiring and putting in place a physical infrastructure for the Red Cross throughout the country which means that So far, we've got about eight or nine islands that we've been working with, and every island in this country where there's a Red Cross facility, you will find a physical Red Cross building, which currently does not exist anywhere in this country except here in Nassau, in Grand Bahama, and we've got a very, very small facility in Abaco.
Megan ShepherdHOST
And this year's raffle also comes with something new.
Tabitha BrownGUEST
Yes, I love it.

Police are investigating the death of a 36-year-old Indian man who reportedly died on board a vessel that was traveling from Grand Bahama to New Providence on Saturday night shortly after 11 p.m. That's when officers were contacted by a shipping company who said one of their male employees had been seriously injured and later died.
Megan ShepherdHOST
Police say the vessel arrived in New Providence around 7 a.m. on Sunday.
Megan ShepherdHOST
At that time, investigators boarded with officials from the Bahamas Maritime Authority, the Ministry of Health and Wellness, Customs, and the Department of Immigration, where they spoke with the chief security officer.

So in August of 1997, a cave diver and geologist named Stephanie Schwab enters an underwater cave called the Mermaid's Lair on Grand Bahama Island.
MegHOST

Cool fucking job.
Jesse BarbozaHOST
So pretty much a year from now it should be sailing.
Jesse BarbozaHOST
Um, the ship will offer four to seven-night cruises from Galveston, which includes Veracruz, Cozumel, Progreso, Belize, Roatan, Grand Cayman, Montego Bay, Aruba, Corsican, uh, uh, Curacao, Grand Bahama, Bimini, and Key West, which Jack, just look at those itineraries.
Jesse BarbozaHOST
Is any cruise line currently in Galveston offering that variety?
Jack McCrawHOST
No. [laughs] I would say n- not, uh, to that extent because you would think that most of these, you know, the Carnival Breeze or the Carnival Freedoms that go out of Galveston, they pretty much stick to the same itinerary.

It was a triangular exercise over water.

The final leg would take the aircraft southwest toward Fort Lauderdale.

The route was not a combat operation, and Flight 19 was not a patrol.

During that briefing, Justice Evans expressed his gratitude to all those who contributed to making this event possible, noting that their objective is to showcase the Court of Appeal as a national justice system
Milton EvansSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
This will be the first time that the Bahamas Court of Appeal will be sitting outside of the island of New Providence, um, since I think 2008.
Milton EvansSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And so we thought it fitting that we would come and we would give the island of Grand Bahama an opportunity to see that this is in fact the Court of Appeal of the Bahamas and not just Nassau

Magistrates, judges, students from the University of the Bahamas and the Bahamas Technical Vocational Institutes, along with members of the public, were present at the sitting.
