Little Ragged Island, Bahamas

 We woke to a sortof grey day. 

Now & Zen just after sunrise.


Since it was relatively chilly this morning - 70 degrees - I decided baking biscuits would be a good idea since warming up the salon area wouldn't be terrible.  I make "buttermilk" with  evaporated milk and a tablespoon of vinegar.  It curdles the milk instantly and gives it a real "sour" taste.

 

 

And if you have biscuits, you gotta have gravy!




The winds did howl during the day, but in the afternoon we put the dinghy down and went for a nice shore walk on Little Ragged.

 


 

It's really hard to tell scale in photos but there is a 30 or 40 foot drop off to the ocean.

 


 

Duane's in the red shirt standing on the cliff edge.

 


 

Another cute ghost crab.  Strange that they don't run away like other crabbies.  He just stopped walking and stared me down!  

 

The middle of the island is mostly this salty marsh/pond.

 

 

Several momma/baby goats were seen up on the hilly rocks.  They are definitely "wild" - they scamper away as soon as they see us.

 

 

Back to the boat under threatening skies.   Nice to stretch our legs on the 3 mile walk.
