Chesters settlement (Acklins)
22° 42.3′ N · 73° 56.1′ W
The northernmost settlement on Acklins and the nearest village to Attwood Harbour, with a small food store and local people who help visiting cruisers with fuel, groceries and rides.
Practical
Position is the Chesters Settlement node in OpenStreetMap. About 2 nm on foot from the Attwood Harbour anchorage (noforeignland). Expect a small store with basics restocked by the mailboat; fuel comes by jerry can through local contacts, not from a pump at a dock. Lovely Bay and the passenger ferry to Crooked Island are further west.
