emergency contacts for yachts in the Bahamas

How to contact a yacht IF there were an emergency:

Cruisers@OII.net provides a free emergency service and contacts the Cruisers Net in Marsh Harbour. The cruisers net does a morning net and most boats listen to it.

Chris Parker does the weather every day except Sunday. If we don’t hear him, others near us will. He also provides emergency messages. Chris @MWXC.com 863-248-2702 WWW.MWXC.com

US Coast Guard, Miami: 305-415-6800.….305-535-4300.….1-800-874-7561

State Department Overseas Citizens Service: 202-647-5225. They will forward messages to the Consular Officers in any country.

The SSB if you know a short wave ham. The Cruisheimers Net 8:30 AM and 5:00 PM on 6227.
