CIA SPY MEETS CONTACT AT NASSAU, BAHAMAS BRITISH COLONIAL HOTEL

I love the British Colonial Hotel in Nassau, Bahamas. The Bullion Bar inside is plush and written into many of the scenes in my spy series "Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Caribbean." It is nicknamed the old "BC" by the locals and it brings back many memories for me.

During Spring Break in my college days, in the 60's, I flew to Nassau with several fraternity brothers. We visited the BC often during our five-day break. It was, believe it or not, covered with a straw roof! Since then, My wife, daughter and I stayed at the BC several times, enjoying the lush tropical nine acres behind it with a private beach.

I made the video below while writing an episode of my spy series, where Corey Pearson meets his contact, Darnell Ferguson, in the back "Patio Bar and Grill" open-air bar in the lush garden behind the British Colonial (Nine acres of garden!).

CIA Spymaster meets contact at British Colonial

Here's another video of one of the Caribbean's Best-Kept Secrets: The British Colonial is only a five-minute walk to Junkanoo Beach, home to the Tiki Bikini Hut Beach Bar. This, in my humble opinion, is one of the best beach bars in the Caribbean. They pile fresh coconuts in a rowboat at the Tiki Hut and when you order any drink with coconut, they retrieve one and machete it in front of you, then pour the coconut juice and meat into a blender. Enjoy!

The Great Abaco Highway on Abaco, Bahamas

When flying into the out island of Abaco, the Great Abaco Highway appears like a white strip of ribbon threading its way through green forests. Here's a scene from my spy thriller- "Penumbra Database." If you want a real out island vacation adventure, go to Abaco, Bahamas! Penumbra Database: Episode 1 snippet: Everything was quiet along the Great Abaco Highway (GAH) south of Marsh Harbor, the capital of Abaco, a 120-mile long, boomerang-shaped out island in the Bahamas. The GAH stretches from Walker’s Cay on the northern tip, cuts through the central region where Marsh Harbor lies, then threads its way through heavy forest to the desolate southern end where it abruptly runs into the ocean at a remote village called Sandy Point. Bolan Tougas maneuvered the Ford Expedition SUV in a feeble attempt to avoid a cornucopia of deep...

Where CIA agents meet their spy contacts in Nassau, Bahamas

The Poop Deck- featured in the "Penumbra Database" I n the Corey Pearson spymaster series, this iconic place on East Bay Street in Nassau, Bahamas is often mentioned. Why? Because it's a meeting place where CIA agents meet their contacts. Here's a snippet from Episode 6 of the "Penumbra Database": Episode 6 Missed rendevouz Poop Deck Restaurant and Pub Nassau, Bahamas (GPS 25°04’28.1”N 77°19’03.5”W) "Corey Pearson sat on a barstool at the Poop Deck Restaurant & Pub sipping a Goombay Smash. General Morrison scheduled the rendez- vous with Darnell Ferguson at noon. It was 12:30pm… a no-show. A lone man entered the restaurant, drawing Corey’s attention. His behavior was dissimilar to that of a typical customer. He sat at a ta- ble overlooking Nassau Harbor and nervously glanced at Corey and the other bar patrons, then at the entrance doorway and around the open-air restaurant. Whoever it was he expected to mee...
