Bahamas - Ragged Islands, Little Ragged, Christmas

The days blend into each other. It has been hot, humid and windlass, which has caused us not to go to the beach for Sundowners due to this voracious No-Seeums.

One evening we went to Sojourn for drinks, thanks Karen and Duane for the snacks and company.

En-route we saw a small shark in the shallows, hunting for a meal.

Sunset was superb. Nice to get a photo of Meshugga with the Sun setting

Nicholas made us laugh, with the KVH Dome on his head, which Duane was looking at, as to whether to use if for their intended Starlink dish.

With Christmas approaching, I spent a morning making English Mince Pies. The first 12 were largely inhaled as they came out the oven


So I made another 2 dozen…


Christmas Day, we hosted the boats here at anchor and in total we had 9 Cruisers, including ourselves for Luncheon. Everyone brought a couple of dishes, and we had a feast of Lamb, Chicken, Stuffing, Garlic Potatoes, Green beans, Cauliflower casserole, and Corn Casserole, with all the Trimmings. And that was after appetizers. Dessert was a wonderful Carrot Cake and Cheese Cake made by Donna and Karen.


Russ and Carol of Spirit, Jerry and Donna of Blue Jacket, Karen and Duane of Sojourn, Chris of DragonFly, and us




Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all our Family and Friends.
