Manjack Cay
Background
Historic and background details.
Submit details about the sailing/cruising in the area, etc.
Charts
Submit the chart details that are required for safe navigation.
Radio Nets
Also see Cruiser's Nets The Abacos has an informally organized local VHF channel specifically designed to help yachtsmen who are not totally familiar with The Abacos' waters. Since many local and cruising yachtsmen standby on VHF 68, a convenient source of "local knowledge" or help in an emergency. Additionally, at 8:15 AM, the Abacos' most accurate local weather and sea conditions forecast is available. Medical and rescue help (through Bahamas Air Sea Rescue) stands by on VHF 83 out of Treasure Cay.
The Network begins its day at 8:15 each morning and continues for just over an hour. Weather reports are given, cruiser news and information is exchanged, newcomers and returnees welcomed to the area and those departing for stays elsewhere are bid a fond farewell. Advertisements for restaurants, bars and community events are announced free of charge and there is a special segment called the "open mike" which invites comments and advice from anyone in the area who can tune in to VHF 68.
Although you probably won't be able to receive the Abacos Cruisersnet on VHF 68 at 8:15 am, you can get it slightly delayed on the internet A local couple has provided free internet in the main anchorage at Manjack.
