T-Water and Miss Gloria's 1977

Nice pic! Back in 1977, my trips didn't include foreign travel. Camping and touring the states was the world I lived in. I didn't even consider Jamaica until I met Mi Lady and we honeymooned in paradise. She had been to Jamaica once and I said, "That's good enough for me." We seldom go anywhere else now.Quote:

The last one looks like Beach House Villa's bar before they built the deck?
Marcia, since I suffer from acute CRS, I am not sure. But on the other side of that wall is the T-Water.Quote:

I suffer from that too, Weathermon. But by your answer, yes -- it's BHV. I used to spend a lot of time at that bar when I stayed at the Beach Club.
Great pics
Grand Lido gave the M/S Zein to a not for profit outfit in Florida. They totally re-furbished the yacht and sold it. The profits went to a children’s charity but I don't know if it was to the U.S. only, or if other countries got some benefits.
The rocky cliffs in picture number 9 is the point right beside The Point Village just across the channel from Booby Cay. I believe this area was referred to as "Point Negril" back in the day. If so, this would have been where the famous pirate Calico Jack himself was arrested. He was arrested by British authorities, passed out drunk from weeks of partying. Calico Jack was taken to Spanish Town and tried. He then met his maker in a very bad way, in Port Royal.
Here’s to Calico Jack, the first in Negril to consume a little too much of the good stuff, and then pay the consequences later.
Cheers!!! Calico Jack
