Belikin
Our stock of ice had melted a day before we arrived at Ranguana Cay, so the first thing we did when we landed was head to the bar for a cold Belikin.

Precarious Table
Only a year ago, the beach extended out beyond the sheltered sand where this picnic now hangs over the edge of the island. This side of the cay is disappearing, while new sand is being deposited on the other side, extending the beach.

Washed up
The fading paint on this decaying boat matches the turquoise waters in the background. We were warned that this tiny Cay was dangerous--if we came here first we'd never leave.

I am a storyteller. I love a good story, whether it's told through words or photos. My love of travel started when I started travelling--in 1994 when I was an exchange student in New Zealand.
