Little Ragged Island, Bahamas

 Busy day....first we set out to snorkel and crossed paths with Clark & Michelle from Roam (former owners of Sojourn).  

 

 

The usual out snorkeling - a pretty French angelfish.

 

 

And a Nassau grouper.  He calm because he knows he's safe today.... there are 4 days left until open fishing season.....

 

 

I was thrilled to spot this little flamingo tongue snail.  Cool little things.

 

 

Some pretty coral.

 

 

Duane investigating an underwater ledge.

 

 

A good amount of new growth elkhorn coral.  A good sign that the reef is healthy.

 

 

A big school of blue tangs.

 

 

Ed and Cathy left to go back to their boat, but told us that Dee and Nicholas were on the other side of this little spit.

 

 

Not wanting to leave anyone miles from home alone, we went over to say hi.  Lucky that we did, because they were having engine issues.  While Nicholas worked on the engine, we rigged a tow line and started slowly making our way back to the anchorage.

 

 

But luckily, cruisers are usually quite prepared to handle things on their own!  Nicholas continued troubleshooting while being towed.  They had a spare spark plug on board and soon they were back in running order.

 

 

We untied the tow line and they were back underway with their own power. 

 

 

Before long it was time for sundowners.  Roam had come into the anchorage from Hog Cay at high tide so our circle has increased by 2.

 

Ralph took his drone up and got some great shots of the anchorage.

Here is our little circle of friends from above.  (Thanks Ralph!)

 

And this great shot of our protected little anchorage.

 

And here's the "Who's Who" photo.

 

Pretty sunset but no green flash...

 

 

Michelle and Jeanna  ended the evening at sunset traditionally by blowing their conch horns.
