While in Negril in Feb a vendor on the beach saw me with my GoPro
and produced one that was all mashed up that he'd found in the surf.
The Camera was trashed but was able to pull these images to try and reunite
owner and card with all his vacation pictures.
Any help identifying these folks? If so PM me here
Thanks

Big UP Jes Roy!!!
Good on both of you. Respect.
awesome. so nice to hear good stories like this. Hope it gets reunited with it's owner.
That looks like the Grand Pineapple. I will email the manager and see if he knows someone who lost one.
It would probably be better to link this thread to the manager, so they can see the actual people in question.
I think I will walk down there , in march and buy Jes Roy a red stripe or 3 . nice to hear this..
^^^Much Respect! We will do the same on next reach!
Great idea!
Curious if anyone got ahold of the couple with the Gopro?
Not yet Vince, I even pried the email for the front desk at Grand Pineapple from Sandals and have yet to get a response.
Dang, Jes Roy stepped by looking out for us tourist to his island. I wish the rest of the story falls into place with it's owners.
I know the guy who lost the GoPro He's from Ottawa. He lost it last Feb in front of GP. That's him in the photos.
I can get it back to him. I leave on March 5. Message me.
SWEET!!! Glad to hear Kahuna3!!! Glad it worked out for the owner getting his GoPro back!
All... great end to the story.. Made contact with the owner. The real Hero here is Jes Roy Whyte.. a local wood carver who trusted me that the real value in him finding the camera, was not the value of the cam, but re-uniting the owner with vacation memories that can't be replace.
I encourage all that read this to take the time and track Jes Joy down at his shop down by the Old T-water Hotel Propery and shake his hand and slip him a buck or even a Red Stripe to let him know his honesty did not go unrewarded.
Much Respect!

^^^^^^ Agreed!! Big Up to Gwhizman and Jes Roy Whyte!!! Definitely worth to stop by his shop and share a beer with him and purchase some wood carvens from him!
Me and my wife will b there the last week in March. We will take him a beer or 3 and check out his shop..
GREAT JOB.. Jes Roy Whyte!!!
^^^ THANKS, treewacker Much Respect!
During a visit in Feb Jes Roy saw me using my GOPro on the beach and produced on he'd found in the surf.
The Cam was damaged beyond repair, but had a SD card inside. I explained the real value here would be to
try and find the owner, "good deeds don't go unrewarded" he agreed and gave me the cam to try and locate
the owner and return their vacation pics. With this boards help that was be accomplished! A couple from
Canada was identified and re-united with vacation memories from 2015. Thanks to all that participated.
I encourage all who read this to take the time to find Jes Roy's shop and reward his trust and honesty.
He's a honest humble man that would love for you to take home some of his carvings, hats or bracelets.
Good things come to those who do good deeds, his shop is in the row of shops along the old T-water property
Pic's below to guide you. Just ask anyone in that row for Jes Roy and they will gladly point the way.
Much Respect Jes Roy! :cool:
