So it still remains a rainy season in old Negril 7 mile, every day at 2:00 you can set your watch and rain come, first hard then get yourself to the closest bar cause here comes monsoon you know you are good for two redstripe and one sub before you think of moving on today stayed at Sun Set on The Beach for the monsoon was great ....redstripe 2.00$ so all is good rain feels better than snow.. Lacdeloo out
Rain is a very good thing for Negril after all the water problems. Unless you are on vacation but that can be taken in stride, for all the good it does for the area!

like mentioned above
opps..!!
forgive me, you-all, for chattin' with myself
carry-on
but,
i do wanna *hear* about this '..water problem..', in Negril
Water problems a few months ago mainly effected folks that actually "live" there........rain is a good thing!
Only folk that stay down the muddy back roads of Lucea need to worry 'bout watta boots. The rest of us rejoice in our sneakers and flip flops and head for the nearest tavern.

i'm *reminded* that they got some gigantic blood-sucking 'squitos on that west end, mi frenbigger & more-vicious than those on beach
if i were you,
i'd pack one of those bee-suits, like boardie-mud
You are right about that one sir. Gotta splash that chemical deet deep woods off on my poor old fat body. Bee suits eh? I just gotta get some of that healthy Jamaican honey this time. The straight goods, un-pasteurised stuff.

good-luck
Water problems are over, was not good last winter lots of water trucked in, west end was without water for days at some times, new pump since then and seems to be all good.

Yeah Smitty,,I get it...Yeah go to one of the best beaches in the world for vacation but UMM remember to wear boots,have a long sleeve sweater on have a hat and carry with you an umbrella and like a sack full of bug spray,lotions and creams and then and only then you will .........AAHH relax on the beach,,,but remember if you go in the water you may get wet?
VERY-good, boardie-FredStripe...!!!..
:-)
BUT you *probably* won't need the sweater.
maybe a light-jacket, just after sundown,
for about 1/2-hour
until your body adjusts to the cool-down
but if you're from waaaaaaaaay up-North (somewhere),
such as Canada, Mini-Snow-Tar, Whisconsin(sp?), etc.
don't worry 'bout the sweater

Dear Smith744...we had a drought. Water was scarce and pressure, for those of us who have piped water was pathetic. We were storing up water in jugs and buckets. Each night the water was turned off on the Beach Road. Folks in Red Ground had no water for weeks. But things are much better now. Personally, I'm ready for the rain to stop, temps to drop and humidity too. I'm ready to dry out! --Fadder Jim
Masta Smith it was a likkle tuff living pon da West End last winter.....cause of limited pipe wataQuote:
