We find a few bottles of rum in the liquor cabinet but as we dig deep in other lockers we find more and more and more
Seems we have a rum-hoarder (rh) onboard. He has stowed bottles of rum in places even he no longers remembers
The Captain is found guilty as charged and is sentenced to a day of labor making conch horns for the Carriacou Children's Education Fund
Steve makes great sounding horns. It begins with picking a nice looking shell. He only uses shells that are without animals, usually left on a deserted beach by local fishermen. The fishermen cut the shell to release the animal inside (It is a local delicacy).This cut must be covered and a new opening created for a mouthpiece. Done right, it makes a nice instrument.
We like Carriacou alot even though it is the rainy season and thus it is HOT and HUMID. We go hiking in the morning, looking for remote places to visit
There is not much traffic here, mostly foot traffic
Everything is green and lush. Corn plants are in most yards.
The Flamboyant Trees are blooming
Old building are decorated with colorful blooms
Paradise Beach
Stay tuned for more of Carriacou.

Rum and conch shells.... mmmm. Maybe you could fix one up to do double duty. On the inhale you get a shot of rum, exhale and a long low note. Get to work Steve, there is money to be made.

Ran into a chum with a bottle of rum, and wound up drinking all night.
Jimmy Buffet's got nothing on you guys! Poor Steve, having to "rum"inate on which one to drink next. Thanks for providing the vicarious thrills for us landlocked waterdog wannabe's.

Hmmm....I seem to remember cleaning out some cabinets at home and finding and equal amount of rum bottles here!! Seems the captain is hoarding rums in various world locations!
I can relate:) Thanks for taking the time to meet up for dinner. Both of you were a pleasure to meet. I wish you the best in your adventures.
