==Radio 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.
+
-
 
+
-
If you are unable to receive the Abacos Cruisersnet on VHF 68 at 8:15 am, you can get it slightly delayed [http://www.abacomessageboard.com/CruisersNet.html on the internet]

Personal experiences?
 
* One of our favorite anchorages in the Abacos.  The harbor is full of sea turtles and dolphin.  '''Pete's Pub''' serves the freshest fish around (and an occasional beer or rum drink!).  The art gallery and studios are amazing.  (Buy Randolf Johnston's book for a delightful chronicle of his family's settlement of the area starting in the early 1950s.) A boardwalk leads from the Pub to the beach.  Excellent swimming and snorkeling in nearby Robinson's Bight (with blue holes and nice beaches). Altogether, a beautiful relaxing spot for a few hours or a few days
