It has taken years but we have finally made it to the Ragged Islands. Yesterday we dropped anchor in a small bay next to Double Breasted Cay. There are perhaps a dozen other boats in the neighborhood. Three sailboats are in this anchorage, one of which is Carina, a Manta 42 with Mark & Kathy on board. I am not sure we could find a more remote location anywhere in this hemisphere……check it out on a map!
We have a little Internet service here at the anchorage, not enough for pictures but we will try to download some when we go a few miles further south towards Duncan town, the only settlement in the entire Jumentos/Ragged chain of islands and cays. Population is perhaps 55 people. We are less than 65 miles from Cuba, a mere day sail if we could only go….. There are no McDonald's or Burger Kings here and one has to be 100% self sufficient to stay around. Without our watermaker there is no way we could even come down here, let alone stay here for a couple of weeks.
It is absolutely beautiful here, desolate and crystal clear water.
