Will gulf oil spill reach Nassau Bahamas?

It is unlikely that the Gulf oil spill will reach Nassau, Bahamas. The oil spill is located in the Gulf of Mexico, which is over 1,000 miles away from Nassau. The prevailing ocean currents in the Gulf of Mexico flow away from the Bahamas, so the oil is not likely to be transported in that direction. Additionally, the Bahamas are protected by a number of natural barriers, such as coral reefs and sandbars, which would help to prevent the oil from reaching the islands.
