A few fun days have gone by since the last post. Thursday I went on a fishing excursion in MoBay, Friday we hung out on the beach all day and yesterday we took a boat ride and hit Catcha for dinner to beat the Valentine's day "rush."

The Thursday fishing trip was an adventure for sure (isn't almost anything an adventure in Jamaica?!?!?!?). I accompanied a friend from Negril on the trip. Left Negril at 5am and arrived at the Montego Bay Yacht Club just after 6am. No traffic on the road that early, we were almost to Orange Bay before we saw the first car!!! Anyway, we had a few boat troubles and didn't end up leaving the dock until after 8, but we managed to reel in the "bigwhan" on the 2nd to last cast. I am 100% not a fisherman, I think because my only experience before now was fishing with my dad in lakes and rivers at home, but the sea fishing is great, and I really enjoyed myself. It will definitely be something that I do again!!

Here's the "bigwhan" a 10-12lb snapper!!!

Friday was pretty much a beach day, as we just took turns going to bars on the beach and then Happy Hour at Rondel. Here are a few highlights of the day:

On my morning walk I took a picture of "Booby Key." I thought it was a nice shot through the foliage.

Back at Dr Love's place a Pelican landed on a branch with a Jamaican flag hanging from as I was walking by and I snapped a quick photo.

That's all for today's post, I echo what Bucky posted in their trip report. The people are as positive and hopeful as ever despite what is going on here. One of the reasons we keep coming back.

Also, it sounds like the weather may "force" us to stay a few days longer, getting ready to call the airline now and figure that out. Damn the luck!!!!
