Jim Newman | jnewman@lifestylepubs.com EDITOR
I'm thankful for The Bahamas LAST YEAR, I HAD THE PLEASURE OF STAYING AT THE ABACO CLUB. THE HOSPITALITY WAS UNENDING AND THE CLEAR WARM WATER AND BLUE SKY EMBRACED ME. I WROTE TO MY FRIENDS THERE TO ASK HOW THEY ARE COPING AFTER HURRICANE DORIAN AND HOW WE CAN HELP AND THEY SENT THIS REPORT.

Hurricane Dorian barreled through the islands of the Abacos and Grand Bahamas

as a category five storm, the worst tropical storm on record in The Bahamas. Winds

upwards of 180 mph and gusts up to 200 mph ravaged the islands. Our property, The Abaco Club on Winding Bay, weathered the storm relatively well with damage that is to be expected from torrential rains and high wind, including downed trees, flooding in low-lying areas, and missing roof shingles, siding, railings, etc. Our new Yacht Club and Marina slips also made it through without incident aside from minor damage.

However, the same cannot be said for other parts of the Abacos which experienced widespread and catastrophic destruction, and most sadly, loss of life. We’ve taken critical action to provide immediate and ongoing assistance to the people of Great Abaco Island through the Abaco-Winding Bay Relief Fund, (501(c)3 status pending). All funds are being used to provide assistance specifically to the people of Abaco in the form of food, shelter, medical aid and supplies, and assistance in the island’s clean-up and rebuilding efforts. (GoFundMe.com/f/AbacoDorianRelief) Miraculously, all 178 of our staff members made it through this horrific storm and we have accounted for everyone. All have suffered, and most are traumatized in some form or another.

limited damage and are working to secure furnished temporary housing units that will collectively provide housing assistance to approximately 100 people. We are also in the process of acquiring a mobile medical unit to bring to the island since the clinic of the island doctor, Dr. Jim Hull, was destroyed in the storm. It will be a long time before Abaco is once again the tidy island paradise it was before Dorian, but there is a strong and shared desire on everyone’s part to bring a semblance of normalcy back to life on the island, and we’re making good progress to that end.

The Beach Walk Cafe is Destin’s only fine dining located directly on the emerald waters of the Gulf Coast and for special occasions, guests can arrange to dine privately ON the beach with a “Toes in the Sand” experience. With just 37 luxury rooms and suites, the boutique property is quiet and attracts newlyweds, couples and friends looking for an all-inclusive (except dinner) experience at the beach. “The rooms were more traditional in decor and the restaurant was incredible - very intimate yet charming,” said Nancy. “A complete breakfast buffet was served every morning with a chef to prepare fresh eggs cooked any style.” Boxed lunches to take on a hike through Henderson Beach State Park that directly neighbors the Inn or to the beach are prepared daily for guests and happy hour and snacks are at the ready after a day out and about. “The entire staff was extremely professional and informative,” says Nancy. “If you are looking for a place to relax and be away from the crowds, unwind...this place is for you!” It was our pleasure, Nancy!

RENOVATE & REFINE
COZY up your HOME TAKE A CUE FROM THE SCANDINAVIAN CONCEPT OF HYGGE AND WELCOME THE TRANSITION OF SUMMER TO AUTUMN WITH A RELAXING REFRESH
28
Perimeter North Lifestyle | November 2019
PUMPKIN SPICE, APPLE CINNAMON AND A HOT CUP OF COCOA. Fall is all about getting warm and comfy as a chill hits the air—preparing yourself for winter, and cherishing those final moments of summer. As the nights grow longer, we’re embracing the Scandinavian secret of hygge by creating a space that emphasizes simple pleasures and finding joy in everyday moments—even when the weather is dreary. A burnt orange adirondack rug and woodland pillow set a ‘cozy cabin’ mood. Wicker baskets filled with apples and gourds are a reminder of the importance of the harvest, and a fun way to help teach young kids about the changing of the seasons. During this transitional time, light wood, fluffy blankets and scented candles beckon crisp autumn evenings, while a vase of fresh flowers—particularly mums—are an ode to the bright, sunny days we’re not quite ready to give up yet.

long-lasting blooms are almost as much a marker of autumn as football, shorter days and cooler weather. Incorporate some warmer-color blooms into your decor for a fresh addition that’s reminiscent of changing leaves. AU NATURALE Wicker and natural materials like wood and jute are great ways to bring the outdoors in. Create a woodsy feel with dried flowers, natural wood accents and lots of baskets—great for storing your knit blankets!
