Hog Cay has a cruisers' beach hut built up over decades. The chain supported salt production and fishing until hurricanes and economics emptied it; Hurricane Irma flattened Duncan Town in 2017 and the population is now in double figures. Cruising sailors have kept the chain alive as a passage route, maintaining the Hog Cay hut themselves. Anchorage: A 110-mile chain of cays running south-east from Great Exuma with dozens of empty sand anchorages on the bank side. Duncan Town on Ragged Island is the only settlement. Hazards: Almost no services, no reliable fuel, poor charts and 80nm from the nearest town. A westerly front leaves you no shelter. Serious remote-cruising ground. Plus
