Bahamas - Ragged Island, Hog Cay, Another Week of Paradise

 Another week in Hog Cay has flown by. Our anchorage is busy with 11 yachts this week, and we met the wonderful crew of SV Selah. Brad and Johanna, and Tim, Johanna’s brother. After a few drinks at sunset, we organized a BBQ cookout ashore, and had a superb dinner with excellent company.

We had Brad and Johanna aboard Meshugga for drinks and snacks whilst Nicholas and Brad continued their discussions of Lithium Batteries, and looked at Nicholas’ installation.

Sunday morning arrived with the Bahamas Defense Force doing random checks on the yachts to ensure everyone is properly cleared in with valid Cruising Permits and Visas

The weather continues to get hotter and hotter, with temps constantly, day and night, around 26/27 deg Celsius. The wind is light, and continues that way for the next 10 days according to Windy.
