What is your favorite island bar?



More of a resturant but we had the most fun at Sydneys Peace and Love.
Not sure it is still there.

It is, in Little Harbor on Jost. And Sydney still brings in spiny
lobsters
daily.

Did you meet Strawberry and Glendon there?

Long time ago. Were they family members? if so, yes.

Strawberry ran the t-shirt business attached to the bar/restaurant--she's
quite a bit younger than Sydney--and Glendon is her young son. He's a huge
fan of the Detroit Redwings. I traded him a Redwings jersey for several
t-shirts. Unsure if they are related to Sydney, but I wouldn't be
surprised.

When we were
there it was Sydney, the wife, kids doing it all. Best lobster ever.
Lots of dark rum on the honor bar system and then the required
argument with Sydney when he pads the bill.

He was out lobstering most of the day, so we dealt with Strawberry. What we
didn't know was that the painkillers were already mixed with rum. We
thought they were just the mix, so we added more Cruzan to every glass.
Little wonder we all passed out back on the boat.

He backs off and still
makes out. Then talks us into helping him haul his boat the next
morning.

He was cordial and rather behind the scenes when we were there. In fact he
let us pick our lobsters for dinner from his catch of the day. Strawberry
said he "never" lets anyone do that. Guess we caught him on a good day.
