'Tis the season! Mercifully we took no direct hits from any hurricanes this year ( although there is still time as hurricane season doesn't officially end until November! ) The island closes down and empties out come mid August and that's when most property owners and employees take their annual vacation ranging from 4-16 weeks. People often ask, "where do you take vacation?" Lets see, New York, Burma, Africa, Canada, Australia, Bali, Ireland, Costa Rica......to name just a few. And then there are the years that we decide to stay and enjoy the island that we watch others enjoy all year long. We get it!! But with LOTS of time on our hands, we see things that you might not see..........like the absolute treasure trove of plastic that washes up onto the beach, especially with passing storms. It would seem that chefs with closed restaurants get extra creative in other areas during the off season! Baby Buoy is the creation of chef/owner Julie Lightbourne from Sip Sip and "Helga" and The Bahamian flag were created by chef Jennifer Learmonth from The Rock House.
