and it probably won’t ring a bell S

— 125 miles east of Miami — is a
tropical vacation island without a
city, traffic lights, souvenir shops SB
or crowds. |H

City, explaining the attraction
many find for this semiprivate Hi
paradise in the Berry Island
chain of the Bahamas. H
Others come for what anglers H
say is one of the best fishing ■
“holes” in the hemisphere. Only |jjj

ones — blue and white marlin,
sailfish and tuna.
