Bad photographer and bad camera. Even from Catcha u can clearly see the detail on the Lighthouse.

Even cheap camera and wrong setting can not mess this up.

Care to guess how the Queen is feeling?
Beautiful place wife keeps bringing it up. Dont even want to see the room rate. Tour might be nice.
I am adding notes and stories to sunset cruise, just had to get photos in first. Camera battery died. I got plenty of photos (lol) except the final bits of light.

Chapter 54 – Review of Famous Vincent
Sept 9th, 2010 - Thursday – (Day 6)
Famous Vincent set up or confirmed 4 trips for other people while we were on the boat. He did not write down a time or pick up place for any of the 4 different groups. I guess he just remembers.
He has goodness about him. If I was to go overboard I would give my valuables to him verse say my wife. Don’t know Roger that well but he works with Vincent so my guess is he may or may not be a Saint like Famous Vincent but he seems to be a real good guy. My friend Grenville is definitely a Saint. I never say that about people. For whatever reason, I usually don’t give this much thought but if something were to happen and it was just us 4 guys on the boat I am the weak link. Whether bad storm, survival without food or standing before my maker looks like I am not getting even the bronze medal. Clearly I am going to be in last place with this group of men.
Mental note – maybe not best group to take to Scrub a Dub
So as we are heading up the cliffs we notice a photographer taking photos of 2 bikini clad “models”. As we go by they pull off their tops and start waving at us. Now they know we got our girls with us so they are really rubbing it in so to speak. Anyhow riding with 3 Saints or not I am not going to let some hot women flash me and really try to rub it in just because our wives are with us.
“Not bad, not bad we got u girls in a strong 4th and 5th place. We will be back in a half hour. See if u can up ur game”
But I don’t say a word I just put the camera down and turn away.
Why?
Cause ur wife was there?
Nope 3 Saints and wife I still would have at least heckled something.
Why no reaction?
Well my Friends wife is in the boat and I cannot act like a total fool (at least till she gets to know me better.) I think she is a little embarrassed that they were Jamaican girls flashing us. Too funny. They probably were from Atlanta not Jamaica I am thinking.
Riding with Famous Vincent
Like walking with a popular mayor in a small town. Everybody waving at you. Saying hello. Vincent is cool so if u are with him then that makes u cool. Not bad. Not bad at all. Given all options going VIP is usually a good choice.
Most of those booze/sunset no sail cruises are about $100 a couple. Having been on them from an AI before for most people it is one of the highlights of their vacation. Seems to me instead of having people blow whistles at me and serve me cheap rum with the other sheep. Being King and having a Royal yacht skippered by Famous Vincent. Pretty sweet. Btw paying same price as sheep just happened to have my own private yacht. (and castle)
2009 we went snorkeling from the RIU. Most snorkel trips are about the same price. ($20-25 a person) They drove us to reef and pointed and told us to jump in. If you go on a snorkel trip with Famous Vincent, he is going to personally get in the water and lead you. I went snorkeling with Famous Vincent (2011) saw all kinds of beautiful fish, Rays, Big Sea Turtles. He picked stuff off the seabed and let me hold. I learned so much. Answered all my dumb questions. Same price as other snorkel boats 10 times the experience with Famous Vincent. Call Famous Vincent and they will pick you up at any hotel on cliffs or beach. Snorkle, Fishing, Sunset Cruise or whatever. Famous Vincent is named Famous for a reason. (876/473-6910)

A trip with Famous Vincent is a MUST DO, because after seeing your pics and reading your experience, I definitely want to do the same!

Chapter 55 – 2nd Night at the Castle
Sept 9th, 2010 - Thursday – (Day 6)
It is dark dark when Famous Vincent pulls us back into the landing for the Blue Cave Castle. We unload and say our goodbyes to Vincent and Roger. I paid Vincent and gave Roger 1000J tip. Thanked them. Climb up steps into lower part of castle. Gate is closed. Damn did not even know this gate came down. Pitch dark. Royal yacht already drove off. We are stuck locked outside the gates of castle. What to do?
Granville has to yell security to get them to open the water gates and let us back in. Within minutes lights are on and they let us back in the castle. New security guard has come on duty and did not know we were out on the water. No problem except the other guard is now gone and I forgot to tip him (helping us move in) like I said I would. Nice touch on my part.
Granville and wife head home
Wife does not feel good at all. She went straight to room and bed.
I had already order the lobster Thermodore and the Mountain Pepper Shrimp. Forced to eat both by myself. I had been thinking about this lobster thermodore since the day I made reservations at the Blue Cave Castle.
Excellent.
Mountain Pepper Shrimp. Pepper means hot. Like hot hot. Made me sweat eating them. Wow. Hot. I telling you cause if you don’t like it really hot you best talk to the chef before ordering. I want it the way it is suppose to be.
Boss not coming back down tonight. Hope the ghost takes the night off.
I spilled a few drops of Ting within an hour there was a double line of ants came from nowhere and now there were literally hundreds. Not near the bed so I was not too worried.
I had observed a very cute baby lizard behind the picture by the door when we first checked in. Since he was little and cute and way over on that side of the room not a problem for me.
Photos taken earlier in day.
Every time I come into room I check behind 1st picture to see if my pet is there.
I get wife situated. She is asleep within minutes.
I go back down to courtyard and hang out.
Nobody around. Play on computer and just relax.
Teddy comes out and is fishing right over the wall. We hang out, talk and share a smoke or 2. Teddy catches a little fish.
Some kind of fish I never heard of. He says they are very good to eat. Just small and lots of bones. Well I guess I see why we North Americans don’t see them much small and lots of bones are not big selling points. Can you imagine the marketing meetings for this kind of fish. Small and lots of bones but great tasting verse large no bones and no tasting fish?? No wonder I have not even heard of this fish. I ask if they are really good tasting? He says I will find out for breakfast.
Same night routine I eventually go to top of castle and sit on various baloneys and enjoy the view and sounds of the night. On a clear night the sky is so vast and the stars are so bright. Wow. I live in the big city and you do not see stars so well due to the lights. I have been places and seen plenty of stars. Being elevated in the castle makes for stunning star viewing. I really cannot describe how cool the view really is. Don’t want to go to sleep but finally I cannot stay awake anymore and go to bed.
I check picture by door and yes cute baby lizard is behind. Ok little lizard u stay on this side of room and we are going to have no problems. Do you see how I am becoming more in step with nature. Live and let live. Asleep as my head hits the pillow.
