The Jumentos

Ragged to Thompson Bay

January 23 – January 30. We have fun getting to know the cruisers when Steve and Kim host a happy hour on Fine Lion. More boats come in. But after a week in one spot, it’s time to move on. The whole group has a nice sail up to nearby Hog Cay, where the cruisers …read more

Intro to the Jumentos

January 9 – January 16. The Jumentos chain of islands defines the southeastern edge of the Great Bahama Bank.
