SDA200 The Most Colorful Reef We’ve Ever Seen, at Raccoon Cay
From quiet beaches to the most colorful reef we’ve ever seen, this is Raccoon Cay like never before.
In this episode of Sailing Dark Angel, we explore the beauty of Raccoon Cay. The quiet beaches, the sandbar, and the crystal waters at Pimlico Cay. But the true highlight is at the tip of Raccoon Cay, where we discover the most colorful reef we’ve ever seen, alive with vibrant coral and sea life.
⚠️ Lightning Strike Update
In real time, we were directly struck by lightning. Navigation systems, running lights, anchor lights, work lights, a large freezer, and even our keel were damaged. We're still facing VAT, duty, exchange rates, customs brokerage, and a costly haul-out for keel repairs in the Dominican Republic.
If you can help, even a share means the world:
