Thursday is always a big day in Negril, and I was ready for it. Gary of M & G Montreal was coming spear-fishing with me on the spur of the moment, and I knew this would be a lot of fun. We jumped on the bike and motored down the hill and everyone at Home Sweet Home with some other snorkelers, and it was a nice calm day.

Home Sweet Home is really nice BTW .... Vincent pulled up, and we jumped on the boat. Gary, the nicest guy you would ever want to meet, conceded he had never gone spearfishing before, and I was kind of wondering how he would do out there, especially when he asked for one of those little floatie noodles to help him float in the ocean. i jumped out there and started spearing fish, and after a few minutes Gary was all good and swam up next to me.

I showed him how to line up the spear, pull it back into the slot and click the safety, etc. It's hard to actually hit fish, and most of us don't get much the first day or two, but I will be damned: Gary grabbed the gun, looked around, saw a fish and BAM he speared it. I couldn't friggin believe it, but Gary just shrugged, handed me the spear and said: "Dude, there's a huge moray eel right there, go spear it!"

We chased him around, I got him, but he got away. So did Gary. He grew bored and joined Vincent and Roger and the rest while I sat there dumbfounded about this Canadian tourist who speared a fish the first time he ever pulled the trigger.
