Spratters Island Adventure....

[Sprat]

This old boat seemed a perfect prop with a gorgeous background of the blue waters....



Thanked them all for their time and showing me their crafts....so I turned around and headed back to the bar area...



I walked past the Rasta carver and walked towards the cool looking painted bar...

[Sprat]

Drinks were done...and time to head back to the hotel. Lots of beaches in one day, so we needed to relax, have a couple of cocktails, a nice meal before heading out tomorrow for Runaway Bay!

Loving this reach so far

Back soon with more photos...

this is incredible, Sprat--the next best thing to going myself is viewing JA through your lens. It is so nice to see places I have yet to visit that are on my JA wish list. Thank you for sharing!

[irieworld]

oh yeah, I have to say you have an eye for fine Jamaican men And of course for boats, beaches, water and food!

i find winnifred beach really laid back . . . "i cliff" is the rasta, a real gentle soul . . . and otis looks after his little area around the bar, those two men try to keep order at winnifred . . . knowing that i'll be there in a few days is a relief.

so, you got as far as long bay? maybe next time you will circle all the way around and through kingston and back to negril . . . i like that ride too . . .

now that you've experienced driving in ja, would you do it again? rent a car, i mean . . .

[Sprat]

Jitterbug...Thanks for reminding me of their names....they were both wonderful men to meet. Most definitely we will do the other side of the island, not sure when though....

Can't imagine not having a car now....lol We loved the independence of getting out and about and the driving was great. Soooo....next year, a car..and possibly a villa in Runaway Bay....as we did love it there too. So many possibilites now...

More to come....Folly point ruins...

Love the photos of Winnifred....my favorite beach! Otis and I-Cliff are wonderful and they've looked out for us each time we were there. We'd go and spend the entire day at Winnifred almost daily. They get to know you and the vendors are very sweet and don't bother you. I love chatting with them about their families. When my kids were small they would all look out for them as they would play up and down the beach...they are all very family oriented and kind! Thank you, Sprat!

Oh, and Frenchman's Cove is always lovely. I found it to be a bit stuffy for my taste but it has gorgeous grounds. The vendor you bought your bracelet from has been there each time we have every gone. Nice man
