I have spent many months on Whale Cay over the years. The amount of work Joe did on that Island is staggering in its scale. Sadly it has all but fallen to rack and ruin over the years, but the walls remain. I also have visited her other properties in the Berry Islands as well as a very large tract of land she owned on Andros Island, not far from Neville Chamberlin's family home and birthplace. Joe was an amazing and strong woman and I am very happy to have saved the few surviving small bits of her race boat Estelle IV. I am only sorry I never got to meet her while she was alive. She is still spoken of with great respect by the Bahamians that worked for her on Whale Cay.
