Hog Cay, Ragged Islands, Bahamas

 Busy day!

Started with a nice ripe papaya that I had bought at the grocery store on Crooked Island.  I looked at the receipt - $1.16 for the locally grown fruit!

 

We went ashore in the morning to help disassemble a few things around the cruiser hut to neaten things up a bit.  The ever-busy Russ from Spirit had done a good bit of repair to an old grill Maxine had sent over from Duncan Town.

 

Duane and Jerry took down and repositioned one of the sunshades.

 

Meanwhile, a group was doing water aerobics to music.

 

Lovely look at the anchorage.

 

A couple of hour later, back at the boat.  I'd set the breadmaker up so we had fresh baked bread when we returned!

 

Donna had announced a pot-luck for this evening on the VHF - I made a potato salad.  I sliced the olives and placed them around the border since some folks don't like olives.

 

We did manage a 1.5 mile hike in the afternoon out to the ocean side.

 

Back to the boat for a shower then back to the hut for the pot luck.
 

A nice size gathering with several new boats.

 

We had two grills going as everyone had brought something to grill for themselves.

 

A nice variety of dishes as usual!

 

My plate with grilled lobster and a "dab" of everything else!

 

Looking for sunset - unfortunately the globe went behind a bank of clouds close to the horizon....

 

A cruiser had brought his guitar and harmonica and played some folk tunes to end the evening.  A nice day!
