As usual, the Small Hope Bay Lodge New Year;'s Eve party was amazing!</div>
<br />
We had a great feast, complete with roasted pig, lobster, and all the sides. We had more than 20 delicious desserts. Then we made hats, danced, drank, and topped the night off with a beach bonfire and fireworks. To make the night complete, the weather was gorgeous and the moon was bright.<br />

Sharks get a bad reputation but are wildly misrepresented as crazed killers. All of our shark encounters see them for what they are - beautiful and graceful wild animals, just cruising around their home.<br />
<br />

It's always a great day when the fishermen bring something back! It's even better when we get to cook it up for the whole resort. It's the best when it's fresh tuna, there's plenty of it, and we get sashimi!!!</div>

<li><a href="http://www.smallhope.com/activities/diving.html" target="_blank">Scuba Diving</a> - We are situated right next to the Tongue of the Ocean, a mile-deep trench. Needless to say, we got some great wall diving. But we've also got several blue hole dives, a shark dive, coral gardens, caverns, and wrecks! Excellent diving from beginners to masters! </li>
<li><a href="http://www.smallhope.com/activities/fishing.html" target="_blank">Fishing</a> - Andros Island is considered the Bonefish Capital of the World. Miles of pristine flats and waterways make this a bonefishing dream destination. But we've also got fantastic reef and deep-sea fishing too!</li>
<li><a href="http://www.smallhope.com/activities/eco-tours.html" target="_blank">Nature Tours</a> and <a href="http://www.smallhope.com/activities/eco-tours/birding.html" target="_blank">Birding</a> - Andros is also known as "the Big Yard" because we have miles and miles of pristine national parks and forests. We have hundreds of inland blue holes, lots of local and migratory birds, all in a gorgeous setting . . . </li>
<li>Sampling our <a href="http://www.smallhope.com/dining-new.html" target="_blank">favorite island dishes</a> - Every Bahamas island has their own local flare, and Andros is no different! Come sample the Chicken Souse, or the "Fire Engine" Corned Beef. How about some Stew Conch, or Guava Duff? It's all here, and it's all delicious.</li>
<li>Listening to some <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKA7Wnfioyo&list=PL6CB65B43A9BAAD87&index=17" target="_blank">Bahamian music</a> - Nothing completes the island experience better than listening to a local Bahamian band play their favorite tunes! At Small Hope, we have a band play on our "Bahamian Nights", then we have a beach bonfire!!!!</li>

Relaxing, great food, fun times . . . But if you have furry family members, it can also be a little stressful leaving them behind. At <a href="http://www.smallhope.com/" target="_blank">Small Hope Bay Lodge</a>, we have a four-legged ambassador here, Sassy, who can comfort you when you are missing your own canine friend.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
But some are fortunate enough to be able to travel with their dogs! These jet-setting animals are lucky enough to see some of the world with their family, either due to their portable size, or mellow temperament, or (even better) both!<br />
<br />
Small Hope Bay Lodge is an all inclusive, PET FRIENDLY resort! Dogs are welcome here! There is a one-time fee of $25, and the rest is a breeze. We just ask the dogs adhere to the same rules as Sassy - not in the dining areas; not loud; not harassing staff or guests.<br />
<br />
Here are some tips for bringing your pet to the Bahamas:<br />
<ul>
<li>Pet must be 6 months or older</li>
<li>The dog must be rabies vaccinated within the appropriate time</li>
<li>You must have a certificate of good health from a veterinarian</li>
<li>You need to fill out a permit application and pay a $10 processing fee (per animal)</li>
</ul>

The Bahamas does not quarantine animals that have met the necessary requirements. The permits are one-time use only. <br /><br />
Most websites suggest you submit your application no less than 4 weeks for processing. But you could probably push that back to 6 weeks to allow for "island time", as well as any holidays, etc.<br />

Come for a relaxing vacation, and see what the island has to offer. <a href="http://www.smallhope.com/" target="_blank">Small Hope Bay Lodge</a> offers an escape from the hustle and bustle, at an all-inclusive resort on its own secluded beach. We have as much or as little <a href="http://www.smallhope.com/activities.html" target="_blank">activity for your vacation</a> as you could wish for . . .<br />
<br />
One of our favorite activities is a trip to Androsia, the local batik factory. Our resort uses the fabrics for our cabins and lounge, and they are all hand made right here on Andros! Guests can visit the shop, take a tour, and even take a batik lesson! See for yourself . . .<br />

We offer a great continental breakfast - Bagels and breads,with cream cheese and other spreads; fresh fruit; 5 fruit juices; 4 types of cereal and milk; yogurt; coffee and tea. And we offer a great hot breakfast to order too - eggs any style; omelets; french toast; pancakes; bacon; ham; sausage; and a different Bahamian style breakfast each morning which can be corned beef and grits, or chicken souse, or steamed conch and grits, etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Lunches are Awesome!</span></b> Our lunches are almost all <br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Cocktail Hour is Amazing!</span></b> At an all inclusive resort, cocktail hour can last all day if you want. But starting at 6 pm we start bringing out appetizers. We offer chips (pita or corn) and various dips like salsa, hummus, guacamole, or spinach dip. We have a fresh vegetable platter with all kinds of beautiful and colorful veggies and cheeses. And then (drumroll) . . . our mouth-watering conch fritters. Careful, they are addictive!<br />

It's been a great month for divers at Small Hope!<br />
<br />
First they got a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=008o9l1Btgk" target="_blank">rare glimpse of a whale</a> while diving one of our caver sites. Then, just a few days ago, a pod of dolphins played with the dive boat on it's way out for the first dive of the day. Great video of the pod. The dolphins look like they're having a blast . . . <br />

Eating lots of delicious food, basking in the sun, and sleeping in make keeping your healthy routine difficult.<br />
<br />
Thankfully it is still possible to stay healthy, even when you are enjoying your holidays! At Small Hope Bay Lodge we offer lots of ways to keep active and eat healthy.<br />
<br />

<br />
We have an outdoor body weight fitness area, complete with a pull up station, dip station, and ab station, plus some wonderful suggestions and instructions for all fitness levels written up by a professional fitness trainer.<br />
<br />

We first opened our doors in 1960, and have been welcoming guests ever since then. We are a small, rustic, beach-front resort and we have no intention of getting bigger.<br />
<br />
But we do want our cottages to be bright, beautiful, and comfortable for our guests!<br />
<br />
This is why we have begun a property-wide renovation. We have completed one cabin - our "Honeymoon cabin" - and have a couple more almost finished. We hope to have all completed updated by the end of the year!<br />
<br />
We are making some small changes here and there, but there are a few things that will never change:<br />
<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>All our furniture is made right here</li>
<li>All our fabrics are homemade right here on Andros at the Androsia Batik Factory</li>
<li>Using natural and recycled materials, like the invasive casuarina pine we've cut from the property </li>
<li>Our atmosphere of comfort and relaxation</li>
</ol>
See our beautiful upgrades . . .<br />

At Small Hope we have big, delicious feasts four times a year - Thanksgiving (US), Christmas, New Year's Eve, and Easter. To see how we enjoyed Thanksgiving,<b> </b><a href="http://smallhopebay.blogspot.com/2016/11/island-style-thanksgiving-at-small-hope.html" target="_blank"><b>click here</b></a><b>.</b><br />

For Christmas, we get a tree and decorate it with lights, sea shells, Androsia batik garland, and handmade ornaments made by our guests. We decorate our lounge, dining room, and games room with festive lights and decor. We put out nuts with nutcrackers, and candy canes, and we play holiday music - traditional and island style.<br />

For Christmas day dinner our kitchen works tirelessly preparing a huge feast. Each time it's different but you can be sure it is epic! There are usually options such as roasted pig, spiral ham, smoked turkey, lobster, grouper; side like mashed potatoes, stuffing, roasted veggies, 3 different salads, and a tasty soup!<br />
<br />
Then comes dessert . . . No less than 25 mouth-watering homemade desserts such as pumpkin pie, key lime pie, chocolate peppermint bark, guava duff, brownies, lemon bars, and many, many more!<br />
<br />

New Year's Eve is similar in the food area - an exquisite and bountiful dinner followed by a plethora of scrumptious desserts. But after dinner things are a little different . . .<br />
<br />
Everyone heads to our Games Room where all the crafts are spread out. we all make different and festive hats. Even those a little reluctant in the beginning start getting creative!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgDzCb3aDKGbp3H18oIApenS7dIfuI7lIVwJAD6vqJYgtwQDIPgwianprz0C-9zbIyT76wni-Kd6A5lLfNZ8saNr8cPnN-JsXnCb731gEXQzU23bm8vRj9VgMgWH9jV1IXypH1KEoMkGpE/s1600/IMG_8966.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgDzCb3aDKGbp3H18oIApenS7dIfuI7lIVwJAD6vqJYgtwQDIPgwianprz0C-9zbIyT76wni-Kd6A5lLfNZ8saNr8cPnN-JsXnCb731gEXQzU23bm8vRj9VgMgWH9jV1IXypH1KEoMkGpE/s320/IMG_8966.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />
<br />
Jeff's brother-in-law, Alec, starts serving up Bang Bang shots to those willing adults. The dancing starts. Then, as midnight draws close, we all head down to the bonfire pit where the fire is blazing. At the stroke of 12, we toss the Christmas tree in the fire, and our newly made hats! Fireworks shoot from the dock as we all toast the new year, sing, dance, hug and kiss!<br />
