An all-new TRAIL OF ASHES exclusive: The Mighty Californian's last hurrah in Negril

It was a beautiful day in Negril on Friday, April 25, the day of the 16th annual Boardie Bash. First, of course, I went spearfishing. There were some big fish. On the way home, I dropped the bag of fish off with Bobo, an old friend, in front of his shop across from Rockhouse.

For breakfast, I ordered some dumplings for the table, as we sat with Chickster and Rasta Stan at Seastar Inn. Just about everyone knows each other at this hotel, a haven for long-time returnees, and the vibe here is beyond cool. It just feels like home away from home.

I talked Tattoo Charlie into renting a scooter. We ate jerk chicken at Smokey Joe’s, and right next to the roadside stand is a shop that rents scooters. Smokey Joe said he knows me and vouched for me, so we got the scooter with no deposit and no credit card, just Charlie’s good word that he will return at some point and pay the bill.

Cool gerry! Love the story about the girl walking away when she couldn't 'get' followed by receiving from people wanting to give.

The boardie party was incredible. There was so many old friends and new ones that I made there. Firefly is a pretty nice place, too. Didn’t see any nudies. After, I headed to Bantons, my old friend up on the Cliffs, where Keith from Philly was hangin out and talkin’ politics, which he loves to do. I saw Jodie again, my ex Negril girlfriend whom I haven’t see the past few trips. It was good to see her again. She looked really beautiful.

I headed to Westender Inn, then back to Bantons, then back to Seastar Inn, as I ran into Westender server Sheldon along the way. He was riding his bicycle. He loves working at Westender, and he is a holdover, as there has been a lot of turnover on staff lately, not sure why.

Sheldon is a great guy, have missed him the last several trips, not sure if he still works at Negril Escape as well?

Wha a goan G? Any donkey-pony sightings?:)

Sheldon is a nice guy.

Gerry must be having too much fun. Or he is back home and depressed.

I just saw him on the scooter coming back to Seastar with the green raft
