Potlatch for those of you who don’t know was on the Banks Road – just before Tippy’s restaurant and Pineapple […]

Taking a break off the rock – to Florida

So every now and then we find ourselves taking a break off the rock of Eleuthera to visit Florida – Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

The rhythm of the summer in Eleuthera

We try to balance taking sensible precautions without scaremongering […]
