Propane refills (Crooked Island and Acklins)

22° 25.9′ N · 73° 58.8′ W · approximate

There is no propane filling on Crooked Island or Acklins: tanks go to Nassau on the mailboat and come back on a later sailing.

Practical

Position is the Spring Point locality (mailboat stop). Cruisers' guide: tanks must be sent by mailboat to Nassau for filling, which takes at least a week round trip. BCG listing last updated January 2012: names, phones and availability may have changed; verify locally. Arrive with full tanks; Clarence Town (Long Island) or George Town (Exuma) are the nearest practical refills.
