In real time....as in today...Tuesday, September 20, 2011....I have the blues sooooo desperately in need of being on this beach right about now....

*sigh*

I would walk to the edge and cast my worries upon the waves so that they could be carried out to sea, sink and be eaten by sea urchins.

Long Bay Beach



The Chill Out Bar & Restaurant on this beach is under new ownership and management. That means Renovation Time! No cooking yet, but the red stripes are cold and plentiful. I’ve always liked the vibe here. I heard it takes on a different personality at night….I will definitely check that out for myself when I return.

I'll take more pictures then also...this time the place wasn't very photo inviting.

Ocean was active. Not agitated as it would be prior to a storm, but lively as though it was urging me to come in and play or maybe just happy to see me.

I love the ocean view from any point in Jamaica. I can depend on receiving the calm I seek whenever I gaze at it.

This field is where the Jerk Festival used to be before moving it to Folly Point.

I’m told when it was here, it never rained on that day. It’s rained on festival day ever since.



The edge overlooks Boston Beach.

The Roof Club

I got my whine on proper at this place!







I kicked it with the owner until the masses filtered in. REAL nice guy!!!!! He looks tough, but he's a sweetheart.

Thanks again Vi... We have been talking, planning and going over the map of the area. I have a much better visual of the area...and we plan on stopping at all these posts. Your photos are wonderful...and I love the rasta on the beach with the drum behind him! Great shots....

You certainly have inspired lots of folks to venture to PA...and I am so glad that you have done this report...which again, has been wonderfully written & with pics!

Your da bomb *VI*

Port Antonio ....soon come
