PALM BEACH COUNTY, Fla. Tropic Ocean Airways is planning to launch flights between Palm Beach International Airport and Abaco, Bahamas, on Wednesday.

The Fort Lauderdale-based airline, which provides charter service, will fly out of Palm Beach Atlantic Aviation at PBIA and Marsh Harbour Cherokee Aviation.

The company was founded in 2009 by former U.S. Navy fighter pilot Rob Ceravolo.

Tropic Ocean Airways offers private charter and scheduled flights across Florida, the Bahamas and the Hamptons in New York. Service is also from Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport with a seaplane operation in Miami to South Bimini Airport.

"Weve noticed the trend of South Florida residents moving north to Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast and are excited to introduce scheduled flights between Palm Beach and Marsh Harbour," Ceravolo, the CEO, said in a news release. "Expanding our operations to Palm Beach is a natural progression for us, and we are looking forward to providing travelers in this region with the same exceptional service and convenience that our passengers in Fort Lauderdale and Miami have received for the last 13 years."

The airline is operating five years after Hurricane Dorian flattened much of the Abaco in September 2019.

Tropic Ocean has a fleet of 14 late-model Cessna Grand Caravan EXs, seating eight or nine, and operates with two pilots. The airline also flies seaplanes out of Miami.

The new route will operate two times a week on Thursdays and Sundays, and plans to increase the frequency and introduce additional routes from PBIA "in the coming months," according to the news release.

Prices range from $237 to $450 per seat with access to a private lounge, free parking at Atlantic Aviation and a baggage allowance of 50 per person per person.

As anticipation builds for the World Athletics Relays in the Bahamas on 4-5 May, fans are eager to learn about Team USAs lineup. Amid the presence of Gabby Thomas and Tamari Davis, one notable absence from the womens roster will be sprinting sensation ShaCarri Richardson. Despite her plans of improving post her Xiamen defeat, the 24-year-old continued to suffer losses in the 200-meter dash at the Shanghai Diamond League.

Richardsons fans who hoped to see their favorite racing to the top spot will have to wait longer. However, the lineup for both mens and womens teams still looks stronger with names like Noah Lyles, Femke Bol, and Bahamian stars Shaunae Miller-Uibo, Steven Gardiner, and Devynne Charlton. This event carries additional weight as it serves as the primary qualification for relay events at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Lets delve deeper into the strategic choices behind the lineup.

Since the last edition of World Relays, three different nations have won the mens 4x100m at global championships. These champions will compete at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24, promising an intense and competitive race. Italys unexpected victory at the 2021 World Relays in Silesia seemed influenced by a weakened field due to the pandemic, with relay powerhouses USA and Jamaica absent.

However, the mens team is geared up this time with Noah Lyles, the triple world sprint champion, anchoring the U.S. mens 4100 team after leading them to gold in Budapest. Joining him are Tokyo Olympic 200m silver medalist Kenny Bednarek and Courtney Lindsey, the fastest man at 200, this year. At the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24, mens teams from around the globe are setting their sights on breaking records and making history. Repechage competitions will be held for the first time, offering teams another chance for Olympic qualification. Additionally, the top eight teams in each final will determine seeding spots for the Paris Olympics.

Is Sha'Carri Richardson Running at World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24? Everything We Know about Team USA's Lineup - EssentiallySports

NASSAU, Bahamas The 2024 edition of the World Relays returned to its original home in the Bahamas, and the action on the opening day (4 May) of the two-day event was pulsating. Forty teams secured automatic qualification to the Paris Olympics by finishing in the top two of their respective heats. In contrast, others have taken the longer route and will be banking on making the cut on the second day.

With the supremely talented Femke Bol on the anchor leg, the Netherlands got things rolling in the 4x400m mixed relay, setting a championship record of 3:12.16. The win secured automatic qualification to the Paris Olympics for the Netherlands. The Dominican Republic finished second in 3:14.39 to punch their ticket for Paris. However, it took a herculean effort from world champion Marileidy Paulino, who ran the fastest split on the night (48.93), to pull the Dominican Republic team from the point of no return to second on the last leg.

Jamaica, who finished third in a seasons best 3:14.83, will have another opportunity to make amends in the mixed relay on the second day. ALSO READ: Im excited and cant wait for the rest of the season.Jaydon Hibbert Says after Win in Bermuda

Interestingly, the Dutch teams record only lasted a few minutes as Team USA chopped off a good chunk, revising it to 3:11.52 in the following heat. Nigeria, with the impressive Chide Okezie, who had a 44.78-second split on the third leg, finished runner-up in 3:13.79.

Multiple world champion Noah Lyles led a dominant-looking USA team to a world-leading 37.49 seconds in the mens 4x100m. Lyles, who clocked 8.95 seconds on anchor, was supported by Courtney Lindsey (10.32), Kenneth Bednarek (8.91) and Kyree King (9.31). Reigning Olympic champions, Italy, with a fit-looking Lamont Marcell Jacobs in their midst, was second in a seasons best 38.14 seconds.

Andre DeGrasse steered Canada home in heat three in a seasons best 38.11 seconds. Behind him, a fierce battle ensued for second spot with Thailand, Australia and Jamaica. The promising Sandrey Davision of Jamaica produced the race of his life to edge his Australian rival in a photo finish at the tape. Jamaica and Australia were credited with 38.50, with Jamaica getting the nod by four thousandths of a second (.492 to .496). Interestingly, this was Jamaicas first and only top-two finish on the night.

In the womens 4x100m relay qualification, Team USA, Poland, Germany and Great Britain/Northern Ireland cruised through their respective heats with impressive wins. On the contrary, the host nation, the Bahamas, and her Caribbean counterparts, Trinidad and Tobago and Olympic champions Jamaica, struggled with team chemistry and baton exchanges. They must improve significantly on the second day to restore confidence in their supporters.

Ireland was the fastest qualifier in the womens 4x400m after registering a national record of 3:24.38. They were followed by the United States and Great Britain/Northern Ireland, who finished inside 3:25.00. The Polish team looked well-polished while cruising to victory in their heat, and a competitive final is predicted on day two.

The mens 4x400m relay produced some drama. Team USA, which crossed the finish line first in heat one, was disqualified under World Athletics relay race rule DQ TR24.20. Team USA was in third position with 200m to go on the second leg; however, when the runners entered the home straight, the third leg runner for USA, Champion Allison, moved over in lane one to collect the baton, which brought about the disqualification and victory to Japan in 3:00.98.

Botswana showed their pedigree as they were the only team to break 3 minutes legally, and they did so with the help of the prodigiously talented Letsile Tebogo. The young Botswana athlete showed his vast range on the second leg after collecting the baton in seventh position. Tebogo motored around the field like a Leyland Truck, reeling his rivals and led until the closing moments of handing over. Tebogos split was clocked at 43.49 seconds.

The excitement was just getting started as spectators witnessed an exhilarating battle between South Africa and Botswana on the final leg. South Africa had the lead through 2022 World U20 400m hurdles champion Lythe Pillay, who was saddled with the responsibility of keeping current world leader Bayapo Ndori at bay. Ndori tracked Pillay like a seasoned hunter, and Pillay was likewise an elusive prey. Both men flicked a switch and barreled towards the finish line like a train without brakes with 50m to go. It was anybodys race up to that point, but Ndoris courage and tenacity pulled him through. Botswana won by a whisker in 2:59.73, with South Africa 0.03 seconds behind.

It was a fitting finale to bring the curtains down on an enthralling night of action.

In the latest episode of the World Athletics Inside Track Podcast, released today (5 May), Sanya Richards-Ross, Kelly Sotherton and Richard Kilty share a packed podcast with athletics legend Carl Lewis, world record-holder and hometown sensation Devynne Charlton and Kiltys Great Britain 4x100m teammate Zharnel Hughes to recap day one of the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24.

Richards-Ross and Sotherton shared their thoughts and shock at some of the results from day one, with Richards-Ross highlighting the non-direct qualification of a womens team from the Caribbean for the 4x100m, with favourites Jamaica finishing fifth in their heat. They will have another opportunity to race for a place at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games on Sunday.

First up was Lewis who expressed his happiness at being in attendance, stating these World Relays are more of a semifinal than a showcase event.

Its an Olympic year. I think the event is a good thing, he said Theyre getting more exposure, and the event means something.

Lewis added that he was pleased to see notable names turn out to compete in the relay qualifications for Paris 2024.

Its fun to watch from an American perspective, how they (coaches) run their teams, because a lot of the time we get those legs mixed up, he said. Ill be happy to see people that are committed to helping the American experience better.

Kilty, who has been a host on Inside Track, was joined by Hughes after they qualified for the mens 4x100m in Paris, with Hughes saying Great Britains focus was to secure the bag.

We have to book the ticket to be in Paris, he added. Nevertheless, who didnt show up, we had to, and we did, were off to Paris.

Hughes trains in Jamaica under Usain Bolts former coach Glen Mills and is looking forward to doing the double (100m and 200m) in Paris.

Im happy and excited to get out there and start running, he said. I know come Paris, Ill be in the best shape I can be.

Rounding off the star-studded line-up was local favourite and world indoor 60m hurdles record-holder Charlton, who praised the home crowd for packing the Thomas A. Robinson National Stadium.

I havent seen the stadium packed like this in years, she said. To have the relays in The Bahamas again is special to Bahamians. For us to host these games again, Bahamians are really excited, relays are what we do.

Charlton, who is known for her individual accomplishments, also spoke about the expectations of being part of a relay team.

Being part of a team is more pressure for me, she said. I know once I step on the track (in an individual race) no one is depending on me to have a good race. But when you step on the track (in a relay) its like youre doing it for three other people and you want to be as good as possible for them.

World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 action continues on Sunday with teams battling it out in the finals to secure lane placements in Paris. Teams that did not earn automatic qualification will have a second chance in the repechage to secure their countries a place in Paris 2024.

This is the second in a series of World Athletics Inside Track Podcast episodes from Nassau, all available via the usual podcast platforms including on Apple Podcasts,Spotifyandthe Sport Social Podcast Network while fans can also watch the show on the World Athletics website.

With an evolving presenter line-up, the podcast will return later in the year, as an all-star cast will provide a preview to the events at the Olympic Games in Paris.

Aspara, an ultra-opulent oceanfront mansion in The Bahamas, just traded hands for a record $39.49 million. Located within the exclusive Old Fort Bay community, the palatial estate marks the priciest residential sale publicly promotedon the island, according to Matthew Marco of BOND Bahamas, who represented both sides of the deal.

Apsara is truly a one-of-a-kind gem, not only in The Bahamas but also in the entirety of the Caribbean,said Marco in a press statement. Having a stunningly designed and constructed estate with both oceanfront and canalfront access points, all while being located in the coveted and private Old Fort Bay enclave, Apsara is nothing short of the highest standard of luxury living.

The previous record was reportedly set in 2021 when country superstars Tim McGraw and Faith Hill offloaded their idyllic 20-acre private island, Lle dAnges, aka Goat Cay, for a cool$35 million.

Over the past few years, weve seen an uptick in high-profile, high-net-worth individuals looking for truly one-of-a-kind trophy residences across The Bahamas, added Marco. The sheer geographic constraints of the island only allow for so many waterfront residences like Apsara, making these exclusive Bahamian properties so coveted that their sale prices are now matching those of the largest U.S. markets.

Theoriginal listingfor Aspara touted its 150 feet of turquoise waterfront along with 150 feet of canal frontage, plus a private dock and boat lifts. The abode itself measures a whopping 14,000 square feet and features eight bedrooms and 10 full bathrooms.

The posh pad has a contemporary flair to it with a slew of amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness center, a steam room, an elevator, and an 876-bottle glass-enclosed wine cellar. Theres also a custom gourmet chefs kitchen for indoor entertaining, as well as a sunken dining area for alfresco meals. The home wraps around a lush interior courtyard and is lined with walls of glass that open up to sunny terraces, sprawling loggias, and a massive infinity pool. From here, you can walk down to your own private sandy beach.

The Bahamas truly has everything a high-net-worth individual would look for in a luxury beachside residence, added Marco. The warmth of the people, the sophisticated infrastructure, the banking capabilities, the tax incentives, the gracious privacy, the stable government, and, of course, the most beautiful natural landscape in the world, all make the Bahamas a smart investment.

Some FNM supporters shouted one leader in support of Pintard, who was flanked by Symonette and another former deputy prime minister, Peter Turnquest, when he went to the partys headquarters to sign his nomination papers.

I am 69, its time for us to step aside and let the younger generation have control of the country and run it because they have great ideas and they are great people, Symonette said, adding you know what the FNM wouldve won the last general election if their supporters had turned out to vote.

If you look at the number of people that did not turn out to vote and the majority of the reason that they did not turn out to vote, I think its a proven fact that they did not support the Minnis government.

So thats another reason to give the young man Mr Pintard a chance because when Dr Minnis had a chance, it didnt work out. Step aside and let the new generation take over and run this country, he said.

But Minnis, who resigned as leader in 2021 and has never lost a contest at the FNM convention, said he wants to return as the leader of the party because he has unfinished business.

Many have asked why have I at this time put forth my nomination, especially when the press and many others were asking me this one important question for well over a year now and I had refused to answer such a question.

My view is and I would hope others would share a similar view, we had a leader of the party. Michael Pintard was a duly elected leader of the Free National Movement and there was no other post available at that time, and as leader, I respected that position, and I respected all other positions within the party.

But once a convention is called, then all posts become available and at that time, I think everybody who wants to be nominated for a post can come forth and express their views, but until then I think we should respect those who are in positions and that was the reason, Minnis said after handing in his nomination papers.

The FNMs one-day convention will be held at Baha Mar on June 1 and Minnis said I have not completed some of the things I wanted to do.

My most happiest moments in politics are when I see young people exceed, when I see young people become entrepreneurs and doing well. Thats my most happiest moment in politics.

My most saddened moment in politics is when I see individuals come into politics saying they want to serve the country, and then you discover that they are more interested in serving themselves, that is very depressing.

Former health minister Renward Wells, has thrown his support behind Minnis, saying I saw his leadership.

I saw the kind of character he put forward in chaos, in challenge, and to me that was admirable. I saw his leadership in trying and testing times and so I grew fond of that kind of leadership, he added.

For his part, Pintard is supporting a generational shift, noting we recognise clearly that while we owe a debt of gratitude to those who have served us in the past, we owe no one our future except our children and our grandchildren.

The convention is important. What we have had is persons who have an alternative view of our country and how the party should be run. It is our obligation to give all and sundry an opportunity to share their alternative vision and let the delegates decide.

He reminded supporters that in the last election, the country determined Minnis leadership was not appropriate, not adequate, and again thats not lost on our delegates as well.

We believe that while grateful for all that has been done by past leadership, we offer better and have been delivering and will continue to deliver better, said Pintard, who at the last convention received 297 votes to Kwasi Thompsons 120.

Junkanoo, a Bahamian national festival, will be the centerpiece at Lookout Cay at Lighthouse Point, the Disney Cruise Line private destination opening in the Bahamas in June.

The celebration's brilliant colors, costumes, assortment of sounds like cowbells and drums, and its culture will be woven throughout the destination's experience, Disney's creative team said.

"Junkanoo needs to be experienced firsthand. You're talking about that rhythm, the click of the cowbells, the goat skin drum, that really is a vibrancy that you have in your spirit when you're there in person," said Kassandra Rose, a Disney Walt Imagineer.

Lookout Cay, located on the Bahamian island of Eleuthera, (pronounced "key") will be the second private destination for Disney Cruise Line. Castaway Cay, a standalone island, opened in 1998.

Whereas Castaway Cay tells the story of a fictional deserted island, Lookout Cay will tell the stories of a people and culture with the help of familiar Disney characters, executives said during a virtual media event Thursday.

"At the very core, we at Disney are storytellers. The Bahamian people that we've talked to, they are storytellers as well," said Denise Case, director of entertainment creative for Disney Live Entertainment. "To learn their story and to be able to bring their story to everyone who visits Lookout Cay, I think that's what's going to make this experience just so special."

The Disney team has worked with the National Junkanoo Committee for more than a year while developing the destination. Stories will be told through parades across the islands, architecture and artwork.

The Goombay Cultural Center pavilion will introduce guests to the history, music and costumes of Junkanoo. Guests will also have an opportunity to make their own Junkanooo headpieces to wear to Rush, the Junkanoo celebration that will parade across the island. A Junkanoo group will perform for guests and meet up with traditional Disney characters donned in their costumes.

Structurally, the designs of buildings for big gatherings are inspired by local shells with hand-drawn patterns, said Rose. Underneath the roofline will be hand-painted conches and palms as expressions of local Bahamian art. Smaller buildings will be inspired by the colors of Junkanoo. Other spaces, like the cabanas, will feature murals of local flora and fauna.

Lookout Cay will have activities, including a dance party, Bahamian games and original music, such as a Rescue Rangers song mixed with Bahamian beats. Other games will include a pineapple ring toss, a nod to the production of pineapples in the Bahamas, and hula hoops.

The destination will also have nature trails. An app will have information about the plants and animals at Lookout Cay.

Theres so much to race for at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 and in the womens 4x100m, athletes from 30 teams will be battling it out for Olympic places, prize money and bragging rights.

For all five of the events in Nassau, the top 14 teams in each will automatically qualify for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. Since the last edition of the World Athletics Relays, either the United States or Jamaica have won the three major global titles on offer, and theyll renew their rivalry this weekend (4-5 May).

Jamaica claimed the Olympic crown ahead of USA in Tokyo, before USA won world gold in Oregon and retained the title in Budapest, both times beating Jamaica.

In Nassau, the US team will feature four of the athletes who helped their nation to top of the podium in Budapest: individual 200m silver medallist Gabby Thomas and Tamari Davis, who both raced in the final, are joined by heat runners Tamara Clark and Melissa Jefferson. Mikiah Brisco, who formed part of a US team that ran a world-leading 41.94 in Gainesville earlier this month, and Celera Barnes add further strength to the squad.

While the Jamaican team also boasts much quality, just two of the team members from those three global finals return. Natasha Morrison and Remona Burchell both ran in the heats in Tokyo, while the consistent Morrison also a world relay gold medallist in Beijing and Doha led off for Jamaica in Budapest last year.

The squad is not lacking speed, however, and their teammate Alana Reid, theworld U20 200m bronze medallist,set a national U20 100m record of 10.92 last year.

But in Nassau it will be far from a two-way fight. Great Britain bagged bronze in Tokyo and Budapest and the squad this time includes returning team members Asha Philip, Imani Lansiquot, Bianca Williams and Annie Tagoe. Lansiquot has already run 11.02 just 0.03 off her PB this season.

The other medallist from those three major finals is Germany, the 2017 World Relays winner. Two of the four 2022 bronze medal-winning team members are in Nassau: Rebekka Haase and Gina Luckenkemper.

Italy won at the last edition of the World Relays in Silesia in 2021, and two members of that team Anna Bongiorni and Irene Siragusa return to defend the title.

Other teams who will be pushing for the podium as well as Olympic places will be Poland, featuring world indoor 60m silver medallist Ewa Swoboda, and Cote d'Ivoire, with multiple major medallist Marie-Josee Ta Lou, plus their fellow 2023 world finalists Netherlands and Switzerland.

France, with Gemima Joseph who recently ran a 100m PB of 11.04, will want to secure that spot for the home Olympics.

The Canadian squad stars the new national record-holder Audrey Leduc, who ran 10.96 just over a week ago, while the Australian team includes Torrie Lewis, the 19-year-old who won the 200m at the Diamond League meeting in Xiamen, alongside her fellow area record-setting teammates Bree Masters, Ella Connolly and Ebony Lane.

The host nations squad features 60m hurdles world champion and world record-holder Devynne Charlton and Charisma Taylor, who finished sixth in the 60m hurdles and the triple jump on the same day at the World Indoor Championships.

Ecuador's 4x100m women made history in Silesia as they achieved their nations first ever Olympic relay spot by finishing fifth at the World Relays. Three years on, Angela Gabriela Tenorio and Gabriela Anahi Suarez are back, hoping to help their nation now secure a place for Paris.

Like Cote d'Ivoire, teams from Austria, Estonia, Hungary and Liberia are competing at the World Athletics Relays for the first time.
