After another evening battling mosquitos in the Little Ragged cut anchorage, we decided to leave our little private retreat behind. Maybe in a week or two the island will dry out a bit and get back to the normal non-buggy paradise!
We got underway at high tide in the morning, saw 8' as the lowest depth.
After we got the sails up and on course, I made some yummy pancakes....nothing like pure carbohydrates, coffee and a lovely sail!
We had a great engines-off sail all the way to the anchorage. I tacked once, avoiding a couple of very active wind-surfers on hydro-foils.
Several boats still here that we know, plus 360 with Louie and Deb has returned.
Bill and Marjane stopped by on their dinghy to welcome us back. They were going to shore to burn their trash. Since we had accumulated a bit of trash, we later joined them to "share" their roaring fire. Had a nice long visit in the shade of the cruiser hut. The cruisers have been working on putting more sand back inside the hut in our absence! It's just about level inside now - looks great!
Just lovely here - we'll probably be here for a week as the trade winds are going to be blowing out of the east!
We joined the others later in the evening for sundown - a tentative plan was made for 4pm on Christmas day to gather at the hut to share a potluck snack and fellowship.
