    • Report from Royal Marsh Yacht Harbour, Abacos, Bahamas

      Royal Marsh Harbour Yacht Club

      Royal Marsh Harbour Yacht Club is a premier marina in the Abacos and A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR!

      Today [3/24/20] Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis announced a 24 hour curfew and border shutdown. See Bahamas Lockdown. If you are already in the islands, be prepared to take care of yourself. You may not be welcomed at the next port.
      On to the good news… Green Turtle Club has reopened, has water and electric on the docks, and has opened their restaurant. Of course, COVID19 may be impacting their services. Be sure to call ahead before planning to go there. I have seen pictures of a load of supplies on Guana Cay for rebuilding the docks at Orchid Bay Marina. Grabbers has cleared away all the debris and is open and serving food. There are pictures on the internet that show the rebuilding that is going on at Nippers. For an up to date list of what’s open in Abaco be sure to visit The Little House by the Ferry ( https://littlehousebytheferry.com/ ). The message is that the people of the Abacos are trying hard to rebuild and welcome us back. Please support them whenever you can.

      RMHYC was able to donate $3000 each to Samaritan’s Purse, Water Mission, All Hands and Hearts and World Central Kitchen. They are all very appreciative.

    • Slip Availability, Albemarle Plantation Marina, Albemarle Sound, NC


      Our marina is your boating access to Albemarle Sound, the largest freshwater sound in the country—55 miles long and 15 miles at its widest point. Placed strategically at the mouth of Yeopim Creek, the marina is just beyond the high insurance line saving boaters significantly on their insurance rates.

      Albemarle Plantation Marina,  a port on the Albemarle Loop, both CRUISERS NET SPONSORs, is located just off the AICW on the northern shores of Albemarle Sound on Yeopim River/Creek.

        This is an absolitely foolhardy idea and the MIATC should know better. It has been shown over and over that people don't control themselves especially weekend party boaters. The closure of ramps and marinas in Miami, Broward and Palm Beach counties was due to the poor behaviour of boaters AFTER they had been asked to do the same thing without avail. It's sad to say but if you truly wanted to help stop this virus, you would be requesting the closures to help protect people from themselves.
