Anegada and Lobster...

     We're heading to the island where Steve's ancestors were enslaved at one point by the British. It's shocking to read about their conditions, and it is crucial to remember how they suffered. However, our visit is about compensation for all that, even though there is no justice for those who spent their lives laboring as chattel from birth to death.  Still, we're looking forward to our visit because Steve will reconnect with friends from years past, and check on the half-acre of property he is entitled to as a belonger and descendant of these poor enslaved people.  We're also looking forward to many other things available on this island. Snorkeling is fabulous, as are the views, the bright turquoise water, the beautiful sugar-like white sand, and the people. The people living on Anegada are lovely, and some are Steve's distant relatives. Nevertheless, they are connected and always happy to reunite. We're also looking forward to a fabulous meal of fresh conch and lobster, two foods the island is famous for, and both are perfectly acceptable for maintaining keto. We will spend the day there, beginning at five in the morning and ending at six-thirty when the ferry returns from Anegada to Road Town, BVI. I'll write more after we arrive on Anegada and provide details about food, folks, and fun!
   Update: We made it and are very excited to be here! We're driving around looking at properties that Steve might be able to claim as a belonger. So far, we've seen a property in Pometo Point. However, Steve and Jake think that might be problematic because of global warming with eroding beaches and flooding. Therefore we are coming around to the other side of the island of Anegada and looking at a piece of property that is also available.  It might be much better. However, there's no electricity out here. Of course, in Anegada, as with Tortola and Virgin Gorda and all the BVI's water comes to the home through a cistern. Also, now with Elon Musk and his companies, it's possible to use a combination of solar and power packs to keep everything up and running. So we're going to keep this in mind! In the end, it's very, very exciting even though the opportunity was created on the backs of centuries of ancestral slaves. The next order of business will be to hunt down lobster and conch. I'm also interested in going into the village and seeing what's there first, and then if we are unable to find fresh lobster, we'll shift our search to other restaurants in the area. We found lobster and conch at the Big Bamboo!  Delicious!  Oh, by the way, the front end fell off of our rental car, but Steve put it back on! Appears a possible scam but unworkable because Steve is competent.  However, our most significant success today was finding fresh whole lobster at the Big Bamboo restaurant in Loblolly Bay. Delicious and keto all the way!
