Where CIA agents meet their spy contacts in Nassau, Bahamas




The Poop Deck- featured in the "Penumbra Database"

     In 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 meet made him uneasy. Corey made a quick mental note of the man’s physical ap- pearance and exited the restaurant.

CBIF protocol dictated the next step. He  proceeded  west  on East Bay Street toward the backup rendezvous, the Bullion Bar at the British Colonial Hotel, the old “BC” as the locals nicknamed it. Corey footed it quickly down East Bay Street for an eighth of a mile until    he reached Potter’s Cay, a conglomeration of open-air venders and fishing boats underneath the Paradise Island bridge. Once there, he glanced over his shoulder to determine if the uneasy, thin, mustached man in the Panama hat followed him out of the Poop Deck."

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...

JIMMY BUFFETT MENTIONED IN SPY SERIES

          I'm a Jimmy Buffet fan and mention him off and on in the "Penumbra Database," the first in a series of the Corey Pearson- CIA Spymaster in the Florida Keys and Caribbean spy series . Below is a mention of Jimmy Buckett's past life, when he first started out singing in Key West. A CIA safe house blends in to the homes on Eaton Street. It's a scene from the "Penumbra Database" where General Morrison walks from the safe house to the Turtle Kraal, his favorite eating place in Key West's Historic Seaport District. His counterintelligence (CI) teams protect him along the way:       "As Morrison strolled further down Margaret Street toward Harpoon Harry’s, he felt regret for not telling Corey about the San Francisco CBIF safe house. Through the CSS business, he instructed BHH to attempt to breach Cheng’s MIT computer in Cambridge, Massachusetts and to devise new firewalls to patch up any cyber weaknesses in its de...
