Bahamas - Ragged Islands, Jamacia Cay

We decided with Sojourn, that as neither of us had ever visited Jamacia Cay, and as the weather was mild enough for us to enter the shallow anchorage, we’d go and explore the uninhabited island that had once hosted a small exclusive resort.

We had a lovely sail, and dropped anchor in the shallow but protected bay.

We found the buildings in an advanced state of disrepair

Papaya tree growing in inside the building. A very happy tree, totally protected from the wind 

Many of these Fruit Trees. I am not sure what they are

Another building in disrepair

This one looks like it might have been an Reception or DockMaster office

Another small Papaya tree struggling to grow

We decide to try walk across the island, but we’d not brought Bush Whacking tools and so we scrabbled through the undergrowth trying to find an old path

Trying to find a path

We gave up, and returned across to the anchorage side, and headed for these coconut trees which were fairly low and full of coconuts

Here I am boosted by Nicholas and Duane and Karen

I managed to reach the coconut and cut two down

We found this old generator

Tankers on the shore, which we assume were Gasoline for the islands Generators etc

Back at Meshugga, Nicholas and Mike decided to dive the reefs and surrounding islets for fish and conch

No luck for either Karen and Duane, or Nicholas or Mike.

No Fish worth shooting for the pot, No Conch either

Lobster season is closed, and none were spotted. The reefs are pretty barren.
