Little Ragged Cut, Ragged Islands, Bahamas

 Blustery day......this is our view into an approaching squall.  Maranatha in the foreground.

 

We went for a short beach walk on a western beach out the cut just to stretch our legs.  We were on guard all day due to the arrival of the mailboat with our grocery orders from Nassau!!

 

Since it's so windy, we couldn't get around to the government dock.  I contacted Phicol in Duncan Town to arrange for them to delivery our grocery order to the airport where we can anchor and pick up the boxes.  Three of the cruisers had ordered groceries.  I was down to literally 2 carrots as my only fresh vegetable.  Not to worry, we won't starve, it's just nicer to have fresh stuff of course!

The unloading process was lengthy apparently because we didn't get the call to come ashore until well after dark.  Not really a fun process in the dark in howling winds.....but it worked out fine.

Phicol and a helper from the Captain C were at the end of the runway when we arrived.

 

Phicol helped unload, always cheerful!

Since it was high tide, we had an easy dinghy ride back to the boats.  (The area between the anchorage and the airport is notoriously shallow but navigable at high tide in the dinghy).

 We dropped off groceries for Bluejacket so they didn't have to make the trip over.  Worked out well.

My grocery haul...I ordered and paid for tomatoes but somehow they didn't arrive.  Oh well.  Maxine will have tomatoes in her store so I can get some there. It may be several days before we make it back to Duncan Town due to the winds.....common story this year!
