Tuesday, 10-Apr Rock Sound Homecoming was last weekend.  On Saturday night, a large crowd gathered to hear Nita and Elon Moxey entertain.  In other news, a HUGE shark was caught right off the Tarpum Bay docks the other day.  Check him out.  
I just heard of the passing of Ann Patterson - my condolences go to her family.  Ann lived just north of Governor's Harbour.   She was a wonderful painter whose works were often auctioned off for fund raisers.  Her family, friends and the community will surely miss her.

Saturday, 7-Apr Sorry, I've been quiet for so long.  I had a wonderful trip to Eleuthera in February and have been really busy back here in the States since then... but I did take plenty of "local" pictures of cassava and pigeon pea bushes and little inlets in the south... when I was there last.  Check out the Food, flora and fauna link....  Oh yeah, and that house spider - he was horrifying!  When you check the picture, realize that that is a 4 inch wide piece of wood he is on.

Around the island... Went to Rock Sound early one morning and caught the Eleuthera Express unloading.  Followed a food store truck as it picked up and unloaded.  In Palmetto Point there's a lovely (and large) sign congratulating Dr. Seabreeze on his nomination for a Cacique award.  Saw the Bohengy come into Briland from my perch at the Rock House.  Did some deep drop fishing, with my dad and some friends, out of Davis Harbor for silk snapper.  Went to McGuiver's in Wemyss Bight for some of the best conch on the island.  Stopped by a pig farm near Deep Creek and got to tour the castle in Whale Point - this place is amazing.  Embedded in the outside wall are pink calico scallop shells - this is what gives the castle its color.  I lost count, but there are about 7 or 8 bedroom suites.  This would be an awesome place to hold a wedding or any kind of party!

A few new homes have been added to the Rental Home page.  Check them out!

Oh - and I want to announce a new Eleuthera website... www.tarpumbayvacations.com ...  This is a super site to locate rental cars at great rates, or, if you're looking for a whole vacation package to Eleuthera, this is the site to check!
