The plan for the Jumentos and Ragged Islands - very remote and off-the-grid

A good write-up of the Ragged Islands is:

The Ragged Islands and Jumentos provide beautiful scenery, mostly untouched nature and room to stretch out and enjoy the solitude of private anchorages. And you can always find a friendly bunch of experienced fellow cruisers at the Hog Cay Yacht Club, should you look for a little company.

In the Ragged Islands, popular stops include Water Cay and Flamingo Cay. The fishing off the windward/deep ocean side of these islands can be excellent. The first decent anchorage you will encounter is at Water Cay. There are good anchorages in the North end and in the center of the Cay.

Southbound, the next anchoring opportunity is Flamingo Cay. The island has some attractive beaches a few trails and a cave you can enter in your dinghy. This cave is just South of the central anchorage.

Buenavista Cay has some good anchorages. Ricks Cay, just east of Buenavista Cay, should have good ledges for lobster and grassy flats for conch.

Moving on to Hog Cay, Middle Pen Bay provides excellent holding and protection. Hog cay is where most of the cruising fleet hangs out when weather permits. The tiki hut provides shade and a place for evening happy hours. This Hog Cay Yacht Club is a unique stop for any cruiser.

Duncan Town, on Ragged Island, is the only real town in the Ragged Islands. There are two ways to get to town, a long dingy ride up the trench from the NW (a dredged channel from the northwest), or a long walk up the hill from the anchorage at Southside.
