We have enjoyed our three weeks in the Ragged Islands but it is time to move on. This morning—about an hour before sunrise—we raised the anchor and started north. We timed our departure to coincide with high tide so that we could make it out of the shallow entrance. We decided to make the 100 mile trip to Long Island without stopping so that we could pass through the shallow Comer Channel close to high tide. The winds have been light so it is a motoring trip. We expect to arrive at Thompson Bay, Long Island sometime this evening. Fortunately, the moon will be close to full so we should have good visibility as we enter the anchorage.

A lone mangrove sprout on the sandbar at low tide.
We weren’t the only ones walking on the sandbar. You can see the tracks of the conch as it moved from one rock in the background to the rock in the foreground.
Tonight’s sunset.

This bird reminded us of the blue herons we see at home.
