Little Ragged Cut, Ragged Islands, Bahamas

Beautiful sunrise over the cut.  There are 6 boats now anchored on the east side of the channel.  We'll be seeing 24 hours of west winds at 30+ knots sustained starting tomorrow....non of us have ever ridden out a storm anchored here but we're hoping the protection will be goo.

 This area is quite beautiful!  Bluejacket joined us in the afternoon.  We used Jerry's handheld depth sounder to make sure we have good depths for a 360° cycle. 

 

We do have one very small coral head that my interfere with our chain so we might have to re-anchor at some point in the next two days.  Not ideal but manageable.

 

There was a nice-sized gathering at sundown - this will probably be the last one for a few days since the winds will start blowing soon.

 

No green flash since there were clouds at the horizon but a pretty sunset nonetheless.

 

We were invited over to Meriwether for pizza!   The view of the sunset from their boat.

 

Our lovely hostess Jeanna - their boat is a Pacific Seacraft.

 

And host Jeff.  Sweet folks.  We had Thanksgiving dinner with them and Charm in Vero Beach.

 

Jeff is a woodworker and custom made this beautiful mahogany table for the small cockpit.

Now & Zen joined us for a really fun evening. 

 

Jeanna made a wonderful Sicilian pizza - an old family recipe.

 

Served with a fresh salad that included my favorite arugula.  (They've recently been in Georgetown so had fancy groceries!!)

Fun evening with great conversation.
