The sharks love the cruising boats since they clean their catch and the sharks get the leftovers. For some reason in Double Breasted Cay the sharks are everywhere. They don't seem to bother you when in the water but I don't want to push my luck.

The reward for a good day in the water.

Johnson Cay. This is one of those anchorages that are made for picture books. Crescent shaped beach at the head of a small cove surrounded by coral gardens and nice trails to hike. We stayed 2 nights and loved every minute. We even saw the "green flash" at sunset.

With some lessons from friends on s/v Veranda and s/v Synergy, I am learning to find and spear lobsters. They are delicious, especially when they go from reef to table in less than an hour.

Valentines Day is a party day in the Ragged Islands. Maxine, who is the local "go to" person throws a party for all the cruisers. She and the other local women cook lots of good food and the party lasts all day. The cruisers in turn hold an auction of unwanted boat items to each other and the proceeds go to Maxine for the food costs and the remainder goes to the local school. This year, because Maxine's daughter had a severe stroke and needed therapy, the cruisers also donated to help with those expenses. With only 28 boats the cruisers raised over $3000. Not bad.
