OK, for all who are anxiously awaiting my baking adventures, I did test my yeast and it was bad. WHEW! I was starting to doubt my culinary skills (yea right!). We bought more yeast, and I will try again. Anita (s/v Why Knot) and I walked over to the famous castle that the “Out Island Doctor” built. In the 1960s, American Evans Cottman traveled to the Bahamas, where he settled on Abaco and through his desire and the needs of the people he became the “out island doctor”. While Cottman had no formal training as a doctor, he took basic first aid courses and was able to make a big difference in the lives of the island people. The book he wrote is a classic account of his life in the Bahamas, including experiences boating in the clear blue waters, meeting his Bahamian wife, and building his "castle" on the island of Abaco. Bill and Anita (s/v Why Knot) joined us for dinner on DreamCatcher – they brought Texas steaks and we supplied the appetizer and sides. Bill would have liked more Crown Royal, but on a prior visit my dad had polished off most of the bottle! At least we are left with the purple bag to stow stuff in!
