Corn Island Characters

A couple of the locals you might run into on Corn Island (or may run into you). The day this picture was taken I got a great meal of fish & a guided tour of one of the many family burial plots on the island (visible in the background).

Eddie's nickname is obvious, but is Marvin called that for his driving habits?

Marvin & Eddie

Marvin got himself a new truck a couple of years ago and after about 4pm; he usually takes the sidewalk in the truck and stays off the street.

Eddie told me that he never has a "goma" in his life because he keeps a Plata by the bed and if he wakes up in the middle of the night with a bad feeling - He Just Pops a Shot.

what was Kevin (cookshow) drinking when he took this picture?

The faces are a little obscure but not up to the "invisible boat" quality.

Eddie Downs is a great fisherman and my great friend.

Anita Moses de Downs (wife) was Alcaldessa of Corn Island from 1990-1996 and is my very good friend and a wonderful woman.

Eddie owes me a fishing trip

Submitted by cookshow on 30 July, 2006 - 09:52.

Eddie & I were supposed to go fishing the day after this photo was taken, but there was some problem with his formula for preventing a goma. When I went to meet him, he was still in bed & yelled out to Anita that there would be no fishing today.

Last year when I was on the island I had the pleasure of attending Anita's B-Day party, a good time for sure.

B-Day Parties

I used to attend all of her b-day parties and six police and the chief would always be there for crowd control. Thats what I was always told; but, I really think the reason was that everybody knew that Marvin would be there.

In 1995, I even took my Papa there to the party on his only visit to Nica.
