    Re: Pontoon off the beach facing Alfred’s or the Grand Pineapple?

    In Jamaica it was traditional that the “cock of the walk” in the yard (alpha rooster) was named Mas Percy.

    Mas Percy was the one who would start the crowing at night. Usually the trigger was another rooster on the other side of the the hill. This would kick off a twenty minute chorus from all around the valley.

    Another tradition was that once a year you got to eat Mass Percy. By that time there was a “little” Percy that was already challenging Mas Percy for being the BMOC.

    With every bite you remembered the 4:00 AM wake up call he’d do.

    One time we had visitors from the states and for whatever reason it was decided we’d cook Mas Percy for diner.

    Can you imagine 4 Americans from the Northeast trying to run down a rooster on foot over 6 acres? .......................They also enjoyed eating him.

    It was a wonderful night
