Good morning Boardies

Up early for a swim in the pool. A bit chilly this morning!

Great time a Red Dragon yesterday! Ragga Bobes looked good. Oshin kept the cold red stripes heinikens and guiness flowing!!

Ashley did a quick run to Popeyes for chicken lunch for the crew

We had 2 pounds of jerk pork. I think it was 4,000 J

Stopped at Mi Yard for a round and then back to LTU for the night

Garrett, Delroy and Ricky joined me at the bar

Early to bed

Headed downtown today, maybe Best in the West for lunch???

Hilo and must get some cash.

Just chilling until the restaurant opens at 8:30

LTU Cliff hours are currently 8:30 am until 8:30 pm.

Please book pack and go!

Hotels need guests to pay their employees

Can’t post photos due to weak WiFi

Enjoy,

Uploading photos is difficult with weak Wi-Fi

I’m able to text or WhatsApp photos occasionally

FYI, most of my Jamaican friends don’t have access to current or Wi-Fi, so WhatsApp doesn’t always work.

Cash is King, bottled water is expensive!

I having been buying Digicell minutes for friends.

Everyone is so grateful for the tourists that are here.

It has been very quiet after 9pm at night. No music, no cars or scooters on the West End road.

Generator is off around 9pm, so early to bed each night.

More later

Seems like a way different vibe on the west end than the beach.

When you say bottled water is expensive, can you give an example?

[VVHT]

Stoner, I don’t have receipts in front of me but the case price at HiLo was approx 1,800 J

Bob, very quiet on the deep west end. Especially after 9pm.
