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

Ragged Island

January 17 – January 22. “Did you order this ride?” “Yeah, I called in earlier on the VHF. You just didn’t hear me”. This is part of the playful banter among the core group of cruisers who come straight to the Jumentos each season. We are all anchored in Southside Bay, Ragged Island to ride …read more

Intro to the Jumentos

January 9 – January 16. The Jumentos chain of islands defines the southeastern edge of the Great Bahama Bank. It’s a 60 mile string of tiny islets that offer very little protection from the tides that surge from the Atlantic onto the bank and then course back. There is only one town, Duncan Town. It’s …read more
