But curry and chutney, two main stays of the fabled goal of many an explorer ..and adven turer who found these islands instead of the fabled India, dominate in the chain of tropi cal islands that arch from the southern tip of Florida to the northern coast of South Am erica. Columbus landed here Nov 23, 1493 on his second trip and was attacked by the fierce Canb In dians Sir Francis Drake sailed through here and in the mid 1600 s the Danes took over.
