Bahamas - Ragged Islands, A Walk into Duncan Town

The airport on Ragged Island

Our group walking 


Some properties still show the devastation of Hurricane Dorian (2018)

Clever Billy Goat taking a rest in the shade


Police Station is still a ruin


Cute kid


After a 1.3 mile walk uphill in the heat on tarmac, we are all hot and tired, and were very happy to find the Ponderosa open for a much needed ale with ariconditioning

About the village for a walkabout, the Clinic is so looking good, with a huge amount of Rebar in the second storey


The Clinic has some outer curved deck being built, the workers could not tell us exactly what it would be

The island Water Works

Superb huge desalination plant


Looking down the small boat channel


The new School and Hurricane Centre


Roof going on with extra strong I-Beams to support the roof. This building is standing regardless of what strength Hurricane comes through next time


Wonderful to see Myron and Charlene again


Myron showing us one of his prize special breed fancy Pigeons


So graceful, Fantail and Fluffy footed Pigeon


Charlene and me


Next stop was to Maxine’s store to stock up with a few goodies and Nicholas met up with Edward Wallace of Buenavista, whom he last gave a lift to from the Capt C Mailboat to the Hog Cay Valentines Party in February


Our group with Maxine and Edward

Jolie was wonderful to give us a lift back to the Airport in the back of her pickup
Mike, Duane, Nicholas, Jenny

Thanks Jolie

Sundowners, Chris of Dragonfly, a solo-hander came to join us

Such a spread. Chicken PinWheels, Conch Fritters, Rosemary Sourdough Crackers and Hummus. Yum!
