Hog Cay, Ragged Islands, Bahamas

 Merry Christmas!  

Yesterday was another boat day with continued high winds. 

The youngsters from Kailua wind surfing for a couple of hours provided some entertainment.

We are invited over to Duncan Town for the island Christmas party - they say not to bring anything but I made some white chocolate coated cookies to share.  My mom has been making these for years and everyone loves them.

Packed up and ready to take over to town.  With the continued high winds, it will likely be a wet dinghy ride or possibly we'll move Sojourn closer to town....we'll decide later today.

 

Meanwhile, Duane was doing some engine maintenance.....he'd noticed that the port engine didn't seem like it was exhausting enough water....and here is the culprit.  This impeller is supposed to have 6 fins!  He retrieved all the broken pieces and replaced this with a spare one.

We'll have a busy day today.....the cruisers are going to gather at the hut at 4pm for  pot-luck appetizers.   So we'll leave the Duncan Town festivities and try to be back to the cruiser hut by then.

I made some sushi to share and it is chilling in the fridge - I'll cut it fresh for the gathering and keep it on ice.  I made two kinds - one with the tuna we caught several weeks ago (which was immediately frozen, of course!) and another that is vegan to accommodate a cruiser that is vegan.   I used Violife vegan feta cheese as one of the fillings - a good combination.
