Has any of you been to Buenavista Cay lately?

The one in the Jumentos, or Ragged Islands if you prefer. There's a delightful 70 year old gent from Duncantown, one of Maxine's brothers, who is building a house there. His nephew is there with him though I'm not sire the nephew is much help. The frame is up. There is a storage area under the main floor where materials are stored and the tow of them sleep. He has pens for goats, sheep, chickens, ducks and peacocks. His gardens are doing well but he has to row at least two miles in his aluminum skiff to get water. We met both the old man and his nephew and learned both their names but, as often happens to me at this late stage of life, I can't recall either of their names. (I do try but it's becoming more hopeless each year.) Can anyone here tell me their names? I'd be very grateful.
