[booger]

Gerry,
It was good meeting and hanging out with you. Seastar seems to be your fit........ Have fun Mighty Californian........

Switching back to real time, it's Saturday night, and Rasta Stan is on stage at Seastar Inn singing happy birthday to long-time boardie Tawnee .... Good stuff.

Later, I went to Canoe to hang with Tattoo, who, amazingly, missed the Belly Flop contest by oversleeping -- how whacky considering the contest originally was his idea!

I met a pretty girl at Canoe. She said her name was MiLisa and that she wanted to be in my report. We ate cheesecake together and talked about our lives -- she is friends with Henry, the Seastar Inn driver -- and eventually we went our separate ways.

It was Monday night. I went to sleep early. At least, that's the story I'm going with!!!

Here are some more pics (top to bottom):

1, the great Banton, a lifelong friend

2, Kevin, the bartender from Catcha (he wants to be in my report)

Switching back to real time. I am at Sangster in Mobay. The flight just got delayed four hours, and everyone went into a panic about missing their connecting flights and not being able to be at work for Monday morning -- me included.

There was a long line at the gate, with the hapless clerk trying to sort things out. I was forseeing at LEAST an hour delay just to talk to the guy, and considering it's Sunday, I knew the prospects would not be good, especially considering my spot in line.

I quickly grabbed my cell phone, called the airlines USA number and explained my dilemma. She hooked me up BIG TIME, got me a different flight through Miami instead of Chicago (less time in the air), with just enough time to gather myself and head to CLUB MOBAY VIP ROOM for a couple of hours to chill. Sipping a rum punch, free wi fi, and I plan on borrowing several packets of peanuts and chips for the two plane rides. Ya mon.

Oh man I know you must be bummed to be returning, but glad you were able to get the flight stuff straightened out..you will have to let me know all the details that couldn't go into this report, lol!

You will have to let me know all the details that couldn't go into this report, lol!

I will say this, Negrilaholic, you are a fine judge of character: Your rasta friend Bobo treated us like family, and it's clear he is a GREAT guy!

[negrilaholic]

I'm so glad to hear it, had a gut feeling once you got with him that things would go well, and it really warms my heart to know that, he is definitely a great guy.

Here are some pics from Roaring River, including a really nice shot of Suzie Q with a couple of youngsters, 8 and 11. She has such a nice, easygoing style that the kids were instantly attracted to her. This was deep in the country, and the kids did not ask for anything, but we gave them a few dollars

Gerry, I just love those pics!
