Little Ragged Cut, Ragged Islands, Bahamas


We went for a nice long walk north on the coast of Ragged Island.  Beautiful views as always - and no bugs!!


Lots of sargassum weed and plastic trash unfortunately.

Always fun to come upon interesting flotsam.  This fender is a long way from home!  I looked it up F/V Papa's Pride in Jonesport, Maine!



Papa's Pride is the boat in the foreground and has a Maine fishing permit.


Walking further we see that the huge marker buoy has been washed inland to a different location.


And a different huge steel buoy is in it's place.  Note Duane standing beside it for scale!

We walked about a mile north before heading back.



I picked up a prescription bottle - still sealed and the pills rattled inside.  No markings on the outside though.

I searched the internet for "pink pill 20 R" and find that these are just simple statin drugs for high cholesterol.  Was hoping for something exotic, haha.  Into the trash of course.





I got a kick out of finding all these "pigs"....we've seen some on the shore this year.  But it was amazing how many on this shoreline.  The only reason I can think of it that a container must have gotten loose from a cargo ship and dumped a bunch of them in the ocean....






And a little different "style"....

 

With some approaching west winds over the next few days....the "cut" is now home to 8 catamarans....not sure why, but zero mono-hulls this year.

  1. Yay for no bugs. The piggy bank pigs are quite cute, but unfortunately beach trash. You should take some for trail marking.

  2. Glad the bugs are gone. Do we think there is going to be a new trail on LIttle Ragged called "Pig Trail"?

  3. Haha, unfortunately the pigs don’t seem to be holding up under UV exposure….
