Mayaguana Port - Docking
Anchorages:
Abraham’s Bay is full of coral heads and yachts should exercise caution when anchoring.
There are at least two good anchorages in the bay over grass and sand:
Dinghy Dock:
There is a small concrete dinghy dock in shallow water in front of the town and Reef Anchorage East. A small channel leads up to the dinghy dock marked with thin wooden sticks in the water. Approach slowly and watch the depth.
Town Dock:
The mailboat (MV Lady Mathilda) visits once a week for delivery and pickup. When the mailboat is not in town it may be possible to use the dock for loading/unloading/overnighting. Avoid other traffic and beware of underwater projections.
Ashore:
There are a few facilities, reprovisioning with local produce, home cooking, fuel and even propane gas. The locals will make you very welcome.

As of early February 2023, it is not possible to clear in at Mayaguana. The most convenient port of entry for boats arriving from Turks and Caicos, not wanting to go southwest to Great Inagua, is probably Clarence Town on the southeast side of Long Island. I left a detailed comment on the Clarence Town port page describing our (positive) experience.

On the way to or from Mayaguana you should definitely stop on one of the beautiful Plana Cays! If the wind blows less 25 knots you can anchor safe and easy in some wonderful places …
