One of my favorite Port Antonio activities is the raft ride. So peaceful, Zen-like, tranquil.

*vi*, I tried to watch your rafting video, and it says there was a copyright issue and blocked from being showin in my country (US). Rats- I was looking forward to seeing it. I certainly enjoyed the beach video with the tourists jumping off the cliff. What a gorgeous beach!

Hi Miss BaileysMom and welcome. I appreciate your comment!! So sorry you couldn't see the video. I imagine it's the Super Cat song that's causing the grief. I wonder if others from the US were able to see it. I'll try to post directly if I can. But please hang around and continue enjoying the ride.

Vince, as I've said many, many times before, by pictures & videos can't possibly capture the true beauty of Portland. I'm telling you sweetheart, you have to go for sho!!!

Brazz...I know you know. Although our drift was almost 4 hours long, the time seem to fly by. Made me wish I was a "couple" just so I could lay back on my man and share the serenity together.

We stopped for lunch at Belinda’s restaurant. The rafting experience just wouldn’t be complete if I didn’t pay this famous woman a visit.

The outdoor setting is really nice and spacious. She greeted us with the biggest smile. What a sweet woman. Very personable. She took the lunch orders and I wander around checking out the rest of the area.



This is where she does her thing.


This was an outstanding meal. I don’t remember how much it was, but I think 500J

The video reveals just a glimpse of this kind woman's personality.

Watching this video over and over helped me to appreciate the work these captains put into doing their not so easy job. Poling a raft for 2-3 hours takes dedication, tolerance and of course, muscle. Captain Motor was a straight professional with a cool, calm demeanor. Tommy hooked us up with him. I wanted to go out later in the day so that we were returning right before dark. Captain Motor was fine with that. I felt he deserved more that what I paid him. But my budget kept me from doing more than what we agreed on. But I promise to take another drift with him when I return.

The music in the video is “My Girl Josephine”. A Fats Domino remake by Super Cat and Jack Radics.
