Won't vouch for either but used to like to tell both to our schooner passengers when we managed to get over there (rare on the 2-hour public sales, but when everything was JUST right, it would happen). <BR/><BR/>Both involved use of the island as pastureland for dairy cows. <BR/><BR/>One version had milk being ferried across the channel being churned to butter in the cans being ferried across on a barge. <BR/><BR/>The more far-fetched had the cows being swum across at low tide & the milk being churned while still in the cows!bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175004553373882579.post-82202435183098035052008-07-28T11:09:00.000-05:002008-07-28T11:09:00.000-05:00p.s. - Spartina grass roots.p.s. - <BR/><BR/>Spartina grass roots.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8175004553373882579.post-85186978359723438472008-07-28T09:46:00.000-05:002008-07-28T09:46:00.000-05:00Still sorry I managed to do myself out of the J-Ba...Still sorry I managed to do myself out of the J-Bay to Gov's I trip through sheer lack-of-togetherness.bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794351142636136626noreply@blogger.com
