Got back from a 5 day cruise around a couple Bahamas islands (Bahamas has over 700 islands!). Interesting that many of the the non-populated islands don't have many palms but rather large pine forests. All coconuts I saw in a small area were all planted.
Coconuts in Ft. Lauderdale. Looked great all over town with many fruiting (some coconuts were just laying on the beach)
coconuts in Princess Cays, Bahamas
coconuts at Atlantis in Nassau
Southern tip of Eleuthera. Lots of pines.
Saw many of these around Nassau. I believe it's a type of thatch palm?
I had some newer snorkel equipment to try out. Cressi...by far the best equipment.
Ft. Lauderdale...only in the subtropics does a starfish as a Christmas star make sense.
