Bahamas - Ragged Island, Hog Cay, Another Busy Week


More work on the underside of the Hard Top


The aftermath of ‘flipping’ the Hard Top over, - the bracing frame to keep the frame at the correct angle.



The Hard Top, back right side up, we’ve threaded the rope for the ‘Tie Ons’ and Nicholas is glassing the rope to give it further strength and plugging the holes




We were not so pleased with a Charter Cat, Destiny 3, that arrived at Hog Cay, the Owner/Captain Dave stating they were out of Cat Cay, and had been to Hog numerous times. On their departure we found they’d burned their garbage on a bonfire in the food fire-pit, and left a load of tin cans and glass behind. I was not charmed at having to clean up after them.







On a happier note, we had a beautiful Pin Cushion StarFish come in close, exactly where we tie up the dinghy everyday when we come ashore to work on the Hard Top


At low tide it’s in less than1 foot of water. Really special! 



Another amazing sunset


We had a wonderful meet up and get together of long standing South African friends Allan and Marita Whitley of Alleycat and Holli and John of Shiloh. It’s been a year since we saw them last. Also in the photo is new Cruiser friend Larry, a single hander on Restless.

  1. Hey, I know you were miffed at that charter catamaran leaving their burned out hard garbage!! Nicholas looks hot in the photos. I’m sure you’re glad that project is behind you. Amazing workmanship.
