hello mermaid, i am a frequent visitor to the board for the purpose of keeping me up to date on the caye caulker news. i have visited the island a few times since the early ninties and have always pictured myself retiring there. i have found that you have exceptional knowledge and insight conerning the island and it's people. i look forward to your posts. i thought in the beginning you must be a local, but then realized you usually close your statements with "cheers" and then it hit me that you could be a brit living on the island. please say it is so, for i am a brit as well. i am planning a trip for next summer and would love to meet you. please write back...
