Only family need apply

We made our way from Emerald Bay north, crossing at Rudders Cut over to the Banks side.

Before we made the cut, we practiced trolling for mahi or wahoo. No bites, gotta work on that.

We passed the cove and Musha Cay, owned by David Copperfield, where he has submerged a piano and mermaid to attract the fish.

Oh and you can rent his island if you like, magician or not.

We anchored at Little Farmers Cay, where the name came from I don’t know since there are no farms here.

It has a population of 55, all descendants of a freed slave who bought the island from the British Crown.

The Browns and Nixons are the descendants and they are the only ones who can build on the island.

For such a small place, Little Farmers has a couple of nice restaurants/bars.
Terry and Ernestine run Ocean Cabin, where we had a good dinner and watched the Seahawks come from behind. Terry created the Five F’s Festival, the first Friday in February, where people come from all over for a regatta and party.

At Ty’s bar and grill, we met “Coach” or Corey, who runs the bar and is the techie for the island. His uncle is Ty, as everyone is related. Corey would like to move on to greener pastures but family is here.

Ties that bind. Pretty darn tight!
