The Ragged Islands Are Pure Paradise! | Day 4-5
We finally get a moment to breathe…
After a wild crossing from Miami and getting hit with way more wind than expected, we wake up in the remote Ragged Islands in the Bahamas — and honestly, it feels like paradise.
With the next weather window not quite ready for our push down to Colombia, we slow things right down and make the most of where we are. And this place? It’s easily one of our favourites in all of the Bahamas.
Over the next couple of days, we settle into island life — ticking off some boat jobs, jumping in the water for spearfishing and diving, and heading ashore to one of the most unique spots out here, Hog Cay Yacht Club.
It’s a mix of productivity and pure appreciation for this insanely beautiful, untouched part of the world… and a reminder of why we chose this life in the first place.
