Current State of the Abacos for Cruisiers?

Does anyone have any information on the current state of the Abacos for cruisers. I understand it took one hell of a beating from Hurricane Dorian. Are things somewhat back to "normal", what ever "normal" is?

Thank you in advance for your responses.

Abacos have with numerous exceptions recovered from Dorian. Open for the full cruising experience.

We spent the summer based out of Marsh Harbour as a charter for the Boy Scouts of America Seabase. Reconstruction continues but most everything is open for business with the exception of Treasure Cay. What specifically are you interested in?

Re: Current State of the Abacos for Cruisiers?

I was just interested in general as to how everything was functioning. I asked as I understood that the devastation from Dorian was catastrophic and there was little if any support for cruisers e.g marinas, store, fuel, etc. I'm glad that things are returning to "normal"again, or a new "normal". I hope to get there one of these days.

For the most part the Abaco’s are up and running, no lack of services anywhere. I have been through the Abaco’s for the last two seasons. Go, you won’t regret it!

Can anyone proved an update since Larry's input in November? Thank you for the input.

Re: Current State of the Abacos for Cruisiers?

I'm anchored in manjack cay right now. On our way north through to here I haven't encountered and lack of operation. Fuel, bars, docks, restaurants are all abundant and open.
The only small concern was green turtle where 3 of the mooring balls are not being rented due to lack of maintenance(brendals, the red balls) all other balls there are operational. So it's a pretty minor negative
