| Abstract | The Caribbean is full of luxurious resorts with price tags that start at $600 a day. Harder to find are the cozy inns and charming, more reasonably priced hotels such as the Peace & Plenty in the out islands of the Bahamas. Great Exuma is a long, skinny island on the Tropic of Cancer. It is a quiet, comfortable, family-style place for living and vacationing, close enough to Miami for a daily small-plane flight, but far enough south to escape most of the wet, cool winter weather that sometimes hits South Florida. I went exploring with Stanley Benjamin, who used to run a machine tool company in Solon, Ohio. A spry 87, Benjamin bought the 35-room Peace & Plenty in the early 1970s, and in this decade has added the 16-room Beach Inn and the eight-room Bonefish Lodge about eight miles southeast, at the one-lane bridge that connects Great Exuma to Little Exuma. |
