Ragged Islands, Hog Cay Part 2

While anchored at Hog Cay we found that the cruisers that come here every year had some great trails cut to other side of the island.  So off we went to explore.  The first trail actually went south towards Duncan Town and we got some great shots heading out of our boats in the anchorage.   We arrived at another beach really just around the bend from where we were anchored.  We could see a boat anchored down this way.  It was great to see the views and explore a totally isolated beach.
Another trail led over to the East side of the island which is unprotected from those east winds and you can see the rolling surf on this day.  These beaches are rocky and desolate but the worst part is they are full of trash washing up on the beach daily, but up high the views are spectacular.

One morning we woke to a local arriving at the beach and heading off into the brush with a rifle.  We knew goats were on Hog Cay as we had heard them but caught very few glimpses of them while out hiking. It wasn’t long and we heard the gunshot and he returned with a goat and left.  We had not been into Duncan Town yet so it was time to check this small community out. Duncan Town is the only town in the Raggeds.  We saw the mail boat come in so this would be the best of the best and time to head in.
It took some time to find the channel that leads into the docks at DunCan town and climb the hill from the docks, but the views were great up on the top of this hill where you Duncan Town lies.  We walked around.  Everyone was friendly.  We visited Maxine Store  which is very small but super nice lady and bought a few things from her.  Grabbed a cold beer at the little bar then headed back out the channel to Journey.

The Sun is setting over Hog Cay and we know it is time for a new anchorage.  Headed down Between the Raggeds.
