That is some sad news. Though we haven't been to the Abacos or met
Barometer Bob, everywhere we have been we are glad to meet the people
who do the job of caring for the cruisers.

God bless him.

Some sad news for those of us who cruise and have cruised the Abacos.

Bob Toler, aka Barometer Bob, has passed away. More information hehttp://coconuttelegraph.net/forums/

May he rest in peace . . .

======================

Perhaps less well known is that Bob Toler's wife Patti runs the well
known Cruiser's Net on VHF in Marsh Harbour. Hopefully she will be
able to continue her good work in that effort.

Also of some possible interest is that there is a second "Barometer
Bob", also on the web, who is quite alive and well although not in the
Abacos.
