You never know who you are going to run into in the Islands. Chet and Linda on 'Cygnet" fellow DeFever Cruisers, were poking around in one of the stores waiting for the bread to come out of the oven at Vernon's Grocery (that's another story) when we ran into them. We chatted for a while and then decided to meet for lunch at Captain Jack's. Great goombay smash. Too many of those and they will punch your lights out, but they are so good.

A fish frenzy under the dock at Captain Jack's. Do you suppose the waitress throwing the leftovers in makes them go nuts?

Beautiful flowers everywhere on this Cay

OK, the other story. This is Vernon's Grocery. Vernon's is a must stop when in Hopetown. Vernon bakes fresh breads all day that are to die for with about a dozen different types to choose from. OH, Did I forget the fresh backed pies and home made jams, the ones with the wax on top? Tonight for dinner we are going to have fresh bread with Vernon's home made pineapple jam, and for dessert we will have fresh baked coconut cream pie with real baked meringue. We are so bad!!!!!! But it is so good!!!!!!!!!!! We may not even use plates for the pie, just a fork and pass it back and forth Bahamas style. You who have been here with us before know what I mean.
