Little Farmer's Cay

09 April 2007 | Little Farmer's Cay
We left George Town with the good weather about the same time that Peter and Mary's plane took off on Thursday morning. The weather finally broke and we knew we better go before another storm rolled it. It was a full day to Galliot Cut and then on Friday we moved on to Little Farmer's Cay. We had been there last February but the weather wasn't as nice. Since it was Good Friday and everything was closed we just rested on the boat for the remainder of the day and then on Saturday we went ashore to explore.

We wanted to meet Jr., the wood carver so we set out to find him. He was home and eager to visit with us. He took us into his workshop but he was completely sold out for the season. His lovely hand carvings are sold all over the Bahamas so he is kept quite busy working in his chosen art field. He did have a perfect Conch Shell that he had cut special just for blowing so now I am the proud owner of that and will have to practice so I can compete with others blowing their Conch Shells at sunset. Then Jr. took us around his yard and introduced us to all his plants and fruit trees that I had never heard of before or seen the fruit of. All very different. Jr. said that he is 55 years old and looks so young because he eats right and lives the good life. He also told us that he has many grandchildren as he had his first child when he was 14 �!
