Hey Stoopid! ( I apologize for saying that but it is your MB name, and a great song by Alice Cooper!) Thanks so much for the kind words. We love Negril! This is my 28th trip to the West coast of JM..... We come there twice a year and just chill. We chose the Palladium because we needed a good A.I. that could handle our load (48 guests) plus most of my friends and fam are getting their first experience with JM. I am actually bussing the party to Negril for an afternoon to hit Rick's, the craft market, and to show everyone where we "really" hang out when Amanda and I are there! In the hopes more friends will join in our passion in the future.

Check with Gail Jackson at the Treehouse and consider stopping by there when you and your group go into Negril

I agree with "chigirl". At tree house there was always a safe route from the outer waterways to the beach. And required (At least when I was there last.) to slow down prior to the beach.

I am planning on making my entrance to the beach alter from the water on a Yamaha Waverunner. I am a Six time US National Champ and World Ranked Racer, so this was my wedding wish since both of my parents are dead and I wanted to make a fitting entrance. I am missing a huge race this week in Martinique because of our wedding... My fiance was like there is no way I was racing the week before our wedding and I agreed! We regularly race throughout the Caribbean as well. Grand Cayman, Guadeloupe... and more. Thanks for the kind words Chris... I think its terrible when a bad event happens... based on some peoples theories we should carry this further.. I have been there when tourists have died from drowning when alcohol was involved... we should definitely ban that... Oh yeah, and scooter accidents.. and cars have been deaths I have read about in the Gleaner... So we definitely need those banned too ..right??? You are correct my friend... education, training, and some enforced regulation is the answer. But unfortunately many don't know how to look to the left and right... only straight ahead in their own narrow focus without regard to the ideas, passions, and wishes , of others. It is not a perfect world, but needs to be a more tolerant one. Thanks again for the wedding wishes!!!!

Respect to you man. While the timing is sensitive to some, as you said it was already planned prior. I'm sure you are one of the last people in this world that one needs to worry about while riding a jet ski. While I would rather not see or hear them on the beach, the whole environmental impact cracks me up. Jet skis are surely less of a problem than the crap that washes out of the Negril river. Or the crap spewed from the multiple boats and catamarans. It's the users that need to be dealt with.

How many jetski deaths in Negril in the last twenty years? How many folks hit by vehicles driven by wasted drivers? Who knows????

Please leave the nanny state back where you came from peeps.....

[Runnin Mon]

Much Respect to you man.... And Amen on the Nanny State comment....

Jet ski's are overlooked for the sake of "tourism", even though they are extremely dangerous and harmful to the environment. Coral reefs world wide are subject to hydrocarbon discharges from the high and increasing density of inshore motor boat traffic. Each motor boat or, "jet ski" which leaves a wake behind on the surface also leaves behind a small oil slick and a turbid plume of re-suspended fine-grained bottom sediments. Pollution causes damage to coral reefs due to poisons and heavy metals. Once these sediments and poisons have entered the coral through polyps, the polyps die and without the polyps no new corals can grow leading to complete destruction on the coral.

It is imperative that we continue to raise awareness and to inspire others to respect our precious planet. As we continue to devise new ways to mitigate humans’ effects on our planet, we owe it to ourselves to compassionately educate those around us.

Wouldn't be able to answer your original question Runman. But so cool your entrance. What are you going to wear? Send pics! Best wishes and good luck on the circuit.

Congratulations, I hope your resort or wedding planner can help you out. Best wishes for a wonderful wedding.

Thanks Dash... I will be dressed in all white and barefoot .. with an open Mandarin Collar shirt and a fitted white embroided vest. It appears when I arrive Monday I will just have to go hunt around Lucea to find a rental. I am bringing some Factory Yamaha Team Gear as a reward to the renter. In reference to environmental impact.. Many studies have been done by the E.P.A. and other agencies on true environmental impact.( ref: Mission Bay Enviro Impact Study and U.S.Coast Guard Small Watercraft emission study for starters) That is why all PWCs ( the correct name for a Jet Ski ) have been converted to EFI Four Strokes and absolutely no 2 Strokes have been produced in many years. While the 2 stroke emissions did include a very small PPM of oil, there is ZERO oil in the emission from a 4 stroke PWC. There is a minuscule amount of hydrocarbon and inert product released into the water from a 4-stroke EFI and pales heavily in comparison to a boat motor. Especially the poorly kept 2 stroke outboards which I see everywhere on the island which do indeed emit oil and unburned fuel product in the water leaving a trail, and really bad in some cases because the operators run those boat motors very "rich" ( to help improve the longevity before breakdown) which puts a lot more unburned gas and oil into the water. I have been seeing more and more 4 stroke PWC over the last few years in my semi annual trips to JM which is good. I would also say that since more than half of Jamaica's GNP is tourist driven ( external dollars bought into the country as well as rollover economic affect f those in employ by such said leisure industries...) finding ways to make things work better for that industry rather than hinder it, would always be a wiser choice in the grand scheme. It is better when people get along and work together rather than work against each other.
