SORRY, BUT...

Among the inevitable facts of life are death, taxes and rate increases. The increase in postal rates for both Canada and the US force us to increase our subscription price for the first time since 1993. Our new rates appear on the inside back cover. We're sorry, but...

Good news for our advertisers, however: no increase in ad rates because we continue to be well supported by the business community of Abaco that realises the Journal reaches around the world. While we advertise Abaco both in print and on the Internet at oii.net , new people will be attracted to our unique island and lifestyle.

Our agenda is to keep property owners, winter residents, frequent renters and all friends of Abaco in touch with what is happening on the island. In addition, we include national news that may be of importance to our readers. We receive most of our support from Treasure Cay property owners but look forward to more interest from those on the Cays.

We have kept our increases to a minimum. Except for the cover price. Those copies left over from our commitments are put on sale in select locations. The October issue disappeared off the shelves in three days. We take this opportunity to raise our cover price to $1 - still a bargain to our way of thinking. We heard that a copy of the October Floyd edition was re-sold for $20! Hmmm...

There are a few overrun copies of the sell-out Floyd October edition. New subscribers can receive that edition by noting the fact on their subscription form.

We have also reserved a few copies of the October Floyd edition for Patrick J Bethel to auction off some time in the future on behalf of Abaco charities. He'll probably get bids of $100!
