The legend of Honeymoon Island
















(photo by Otto Cuyler, 1/6/07)

A man by the name of John Brown inquired about buying a small island. He found one near Oak Island, bought it for $500.00 and built a small cabin on it. In the spring John Brown arrived with his lovely bride, rented a skiff from local man, George Forrester, and loaded his provisions and new wife aboard.

That was the last that was ever seen of either Brown or his wife. The skiff was found at George’s dock but nothing else was ever found.

Mid-winter Island Getaway

Great fun was had by some (but unfortunately not all) of the Cuyler, Navarra, and Ryan family members on February 17 and18.

We had cold weather, warm cottages, indoor and outdoor activities, good food, good company, good wine, and a working porta-potty.

All contributed to a lovely "island" getaway.
