I am so sorry for the delay ... I am in the mist of getting ready for Bike Week in Myrtle Beach, SC...Let's continue!!!
A few years ago I got the nerve to get on a jet ski and I told the guy to go slowww and he did and he took me down past the A/I's and each year after that him or my other jet ski friend took me out and we went past the A/I's (down towards the RIU). WELL dangit this year I wanted to go in the other direction and towards the Westend (always saw jet ski's out that way). The 2nd day I got over to the beach .... Sunbeach area... and I look for either of my jet ski guys and don't see a one, except one that never took me out, so I asked where they all went too. One I knew that he left for the states right after I left Negril last year. One just up and disappeared. And the other one *WOOOO CLAWD THAT MAN WAS SUMKINDA SEXY!!* he is said to be up in the hills someplace....*almost went looking for him* SOOO that left me with no one to take me out but the guy that has never took me out before and another guy that I never met before!!!
The guy I never met before...let's call him "NMB"and let's call the guy that never took me out before "NTMO". Let me set the mood...me and the gyals are chillin on the beach and I inquire about a ride to NTMO and he said he would take me out when he comes back, well after an hour I got antsy and got NMB to take me out, but the clouds started to roll in and I felt a few sprinkles and was hesitate to go but like a true Jamaican he said "it's not going to rain, come on". I hop on behind him and hold on tight and told him "you can take me anywhere but down that way towards the RIU, I've been that way enough", so out towards to where the sky meets the water...or so it seems from the beach. He goes a regular speed and I am like "OK, this is nice" then I tell him to speed up a bit and off we go!!! VVVRRRRROOOOOMMMM!!! jumping up and hitting the waves and I am giggling and laughing like a little kid, it was so much fun!!! AND then he asks "you want to drive" and I say "oh no no no ridind in the back is just fine" He stops the jet ski and convinces me to drive...uuuhhh how we gonna do dat mister I ask and next thing I know he stands up and tells me to side up and he gets behind me. I place my hands on the bars and he does the controls...wooooweeeee this is kinda fun!!! THEN he stops again and this time shows me HOW to drive on my own...I give it a lil gas and the jet ski jerks and I stop...was a bit scary....I give it a lil gas again and I keep going and eventually I am speeding and hitting the waves and turning... I am REALLY DRIVING a jet ski!!!
I think I was out for about an hour and when he brought me back I was soooo excited and couldn't wait to go out again!!!
I went out Jetskiing about 5 times this trip...including twice up to the Westend. On one of those rides NTMO took me all the way by the Lighthouse...that was a nice long ride. I asked him to take me out that way and he told me that I had to go early morning because the later it got the more choppy the water would be....and that was sooo true!!! To see the hotels from a jetski was so beautiful, but I had a hard time looking from the hotels to the horizon to the beautiful blue of the water. The water is really crystal clear blue out that way, like you are inside a pool. Folks were waving from their hotels, I manage to pry my arms from around his waist to wave a time or two, LOL...ok ok yes I was scared!!! The water out that way was more choppy and we hit the waves harder and caught alot of air more than a few times. He took me all inside the caves and all I could say was WOW over and over again and kicked myself for not having my camera....AAAGGGHHHH...next time!!!
So no pictures from my jet ski rides to the Westend...just memories!!!!!
Luvs!
