They're so close to getting current back. They (JPS) thought it might happen last night but ran into a couple of extra issues.

Street lights just came on outside LTU!

Good morning Boardies

Happy Thanksgiving from Negril

JPS crews were all over the West End yesterday and around 6pm the street lights came on!

As I rode downtown to Kenny?s there were some areas on the West End where street lights weren?t on

Stopped in to Ivan?s Bar at Catcha to hook up with Boardies Scott and Janet
Great seeing them and we hoisted a few in memory of Rob!

Then Niah picked me up and off to Kenny?s Italian Cafe for dinner and drinks with Chris from Seastar

Good times, lots of laughs

Niah made sure I got home safe and sound

Yesterday I had lunch with Oshin and Shantana formerly of Seastar.

It was wonderful catching up with these ladies

Chill day today, definitely a pool day

Oz is coming by for dinner and beers around sunset

More later

Yes it was good to see you at Ivans last night and have a few and enjoyed catching up. Catcha has large generator so it's almost like normal here.... AC is good.. It's nice and Green. All help working a couple of days a week.. SO EVERYONE PLEASE COME DOWN. Hopefully the current is happening today.. Especially for the locals.

Good morning Boardies

All good at LTU. Full street power is still on, but it did blink a few times last night.

Big party at LTU last night

A large family of tourists had a banquet dinner with lots of food. They let the staff and Jamaicans share the left overs. Then tipped ALL the staff at LTU big time!

Big up for their generosity and kindness!

Had a wonderful dinner with Oz. Great guy. Lots of stories about Melissa! Scary stuff!

Headed to HiLo to stock up for the cookout this afternoon in Fisherman’s Village. Curry Chicken Brown Stew Pork Rice and Peas.
I’m bringing 4 cases of bottled water and 2 of Red Stripe. Delroy thinks we can feed 150 people

Enjoy

Happy,

Thanks for the updates. I'm a short timer, only been going to Negril for the past 20yrs. I usually drink the tap water, but given the storm I am thinking of sticking with bottled water (which I am hearing is understandable quite dear right now). Is that what you are doing? Soon come!

Seamus, no one is drinking pipe water or water truck water now. Bottled water for cooking and drinking. Pipe and truck water only good for flushing toilets and shower.
