On Saturday, I woke up early and headed to Blue Cave Castle, where I met Famous Vincent and his mate, Roger, for a spear fishing adventure. I had tried spear fishing for the first time last reach, and I fell in love with the sport, so this time I came prepared with my own Gun.

The sea was a bit choppy, so it was not as easy as last time, plus it's harder to swim when you're carrying a spear in one hand, but I managed. I got another puffer fish -- when you hit one, it expands into a big blow fish with spines, and it's a trip to see it -- and I also speared a couple of others. Roger nailed a bunch of them, but could not get close enough to a big barracuda for a real score. Anyway, of course I took credit for ALL the fish and headed up to Bentley's immediately after so he could have them. He later cooked me a couple of little fish and had some for himself.

Three trip reports ago -- http://negril.com/forum/showthread.p...ng-a-GOOD-time! -- I had met Nicky, an incredibly beautiful model-type whom I somehow convinced to spend time with me, but for the past two reaches, I could never find her. I was always one step behind, with her friend say Oh, I saw her here or Oh, Nicky was there. This time, I found her, and wow Nicky looked better than ever.

She came to visit at the Seastar Inn, and later we went to hang out at Blue Cave Castle. I loved her reaction when she tried a fruit rollup from USA for the first time -- I guess they don't have 'em in Negril, and she loved it!

I eventually went to Bentley's for dinner (crab cakes), then the Seastar Inn party, where I met a bunch of boardies including Clarity and Hubbyman for the first time. It was nice, though we didn't get much time to spend together cause it was crazy.

Rasta Stan took the stage for STAND BY ME and circulated the backing band's tip jar and managed to collect like 200 dollars! Very impressive. I hung with Tattoo, enjoyed Luciano's performance, then parted deep into Sunday morning. It was fun fun fun.
