Man-o-war

Another favorite cay is man-o-war cay. This island is another loyalist island where residents here originally came here in 1780’s during the American revolution when some wanted to stay loyal to the British control and sailed here. We met several residents on this island whose ancestors go back 12 generations to those early loyalists.

This island is famous for its long time boat building by the Albury family.

They now build modern day fishing boats as well as some local wooden sailboats.

We attempted to dinghy to outside reef but the Atlantic swell was too much to cross so we snorkeled on the bank side.
