Full Moon Rising
A beautiful sunny, but windy day for a walk and some Personal Time Out
Over the island on the windward, Atlantic Ocean side, the bays are stunning
At the end of the Trail, where you jump down onto the beach, I was pleased to see the the Trail Markings I setup last year is still clear, as the End/Start of this Trail is was not previously apparent
Some of the coves trap rubbish washed ashore as well as lots of seaweed
A part of a burnt boat bow
The arch. This piece of plastic piping has become jammed into the rocks
Beautiful pink sand, made from the crushed red coral washing ashore, and a minute cowrie shell
Waves rushing in with a 20 knot wind
The Trail back to the western beaches is at the base of a ridge
And around this pan of water. It was surprisingly empty given how full we have seen the other pans further south on Hog Cay and Little Ragged Island
A stone wall about a mile long - we have no idea what it is for, the goats jump right over the wall. Speculation is that previously the island must have been portioned off between the Owning Families
Unusual to find cacti on the island
At the end of the Trail on the Eastern Middle Beach
I carried this red Basket and bucket for the past hour from the Eastern beaches use as a Marker for the Start/End of the Trail
The walk from the End of the Trail along Middle Beach to our anchorage
This is a map of Hog Cay. The Red dot is my start and end point at the Cruisers Hut.You can see the Southern Trail across the island, and the two definite bays (which I posted a photo of)
The walk to the north is where all the trash washes up, as well as Sea Beads, and Sea Glass.
You can also see the Pan which we walked past (water), and then back/south along Middle Beach back to the Cruisers Hut and the red dot where I left the dinghy.
The whole walk is 3 miles, and took 2 hours
Thanks Nicholas for my Apple Watch which allowed me to Track my Trail walk!
In addition to the Map, I also get all the data on my Heart Rate, Calories burned, number of steps, Trail ascent/descent - I absolutely love it!
