Conception Island

We got the gang back together - Sheila and Momo sailed out of Georgetown together to Conception Island, a small remote uninhabited island 15 miles north/east of Long Island.  It was remote, stunningly beautiful and hard to leave.  It offered pristine clear waters that begged you to drop anchor and jump in immediately, and long crescent beaches with abutting cliffs to hike along. It was with very little protection from any unsettled weather so we had to high-tail it out of there for yet another blow but we loved it so much we are already planning our return in a few days.

Unfortunately, the weather this season has been such that one cold front follows another and we keep getting blown out of these beautiful places in search of protected harbors.  Therefore, we find ourselves faced with having to give up on the Raggeds and Jamentos.  However, we are happily settling on a plan to island hop around Conception, Cat and maybe Rum Cays.  We shall see...

Sail to Thompson Bay.  Clearly, I just discovered this pano feature on the phone and love it!
