We met Poley (Rev. Holton Dickson) when we first visited Salt
Cay, he is the contractor that restored our house. He is an honest man, full of
integrity and goodwill with a wonderful sense of humor and great laugh. Poley is
also the minister of the Methodist Church on the island.
There are no pictures of the blessing. Of the sixty
people on the island, about thirty-five of us where present and joined hands in
a circle while Poley gave the blessing. It was a wonderful unity.
Following the blessing, Poley added some personal words of
thanks to Mike for working so hard to get the boat working again to benefit the
island and then led us in a cheer - "hip, hip, hip.... Hurray! hip, hip,
hip... Hurray! hip, hip, hip... Hurray!"
