Farmer's Cay

One of our favorite places to visit in the Exumas is Little Farmer's Cay.  The reason, other than the beauty?....The people.   I have come to think of the people here as "my family in the Bahamas".  Since my first visit over 13 years ago, and the numerous times from then to now, we always stop here and stay longer than most other places.  Captain Man and I have developed a bond with these wonderful people who enjoy the simple life.  

Today, we learned some of our friends have past on since our last visit and we are saddened.  But we are grateful that we knew them, smiled and laughed with them and enjoyed some special times with them. 

But, we were thrilled to find our dear friend Altimus in seemingly good health, as the last time we were here, he had just recently suffered a stroke.   

Part of our walking route

Before lunch, we walked with Altimus to the airport and were pleasantly surprised when after a short rest on the golf cart, he opted to continue walking back.  Good for you Altimus!!!

We stopped by JR's to say hello, and as usual, he was doing his thing...carving.  He takes tree trunks, thick branches, etc.,  and transforms them into beautiful carvings.

After JR's skillful hands!

His work is amazing.  I have seen his work range from very small to huge.  Most of which is done with a chisel and mallet.  

Back to Brenda's for our lunch...which was Brenda's cracked conch and mac n cheese...yum!  While eating, we visited with Harvey, Debbie, Denise, and others while Altimus reminisced of days gone by.   A large meal, good conversation and sun shining on our backs...time to head back to the boat for afternoon siesta.   Maybe later we will stop by Ty's Restaurant to watch the sunset.
