Abaco Cruisers Net (VHF 68)
26° 32.5′ N · 77° 3.8′ W · approximate
The morning VHF net out of Marsh Harbour, running since 1991: weather, local happenings and the community notices every cruiser in central Abaco listens to before deciding where to go.
Practical
VHF 68 at 8:15 am. Founded by Bob and Pattie Toler in 1991; recent hosts include Lorraine and Bob Morecraft of SV Scaramouche (from April 2019), and the net asks for volunteer net controllers. Coordinate is the Marsh Harbour town center (Wikipedia), since the net is a broadcast. Barometer Bob (barometerbob.org) posts a detailed daily Abaco forecast and links the Pelican Harbour tide station (NOAA TEC4621). Map position is an approximate representative point for this entry (derived from the nearest settlement, dock or harbour named above), not a surveyed location.
