Beacons of Fire: Great Stirrup Cay Lighthouse, Bahamas

For all the posts in the Beacons of Fire Series, go here.

Prologue: I love Nora Roberts books, well her books mostly those that she wrote prior to 2009. One of her book is the 1985 romantic novel, One Man’s Art, fourth in her longest series, The McGregor Series. The hero of the story, Grant Campbell, is a loner, rude, surly and impossible, who lives in an old lighthouse. Genevieve Grandeau literally lands on his doorstep during one particular stormy night. The story that follows between Grant and Gennie is what inspired me to look at lighthouses in a different light.

Far in sight from Coco Cay Island aka Little Stirrup Cay, I saw this lighthouse on the Great Stirrup Cay, the neighboring island, while relaxing in Coco Cay. Not sure if it is functioning one or a replica, but it was certainly a sight to watch.
