I'm with you Tizzy, I don't want to know what might be in the water a night! I feel safe just assuming that all the scary creatures are sleeping...
In my world, it is often those 'take it easy' nights that end up going the opposite direction and live on as legend. Sounds like you were having a great time.
Great report so far, keep it coming!
Okay, all, this brings up the night swim thing. When I stayed at Xtabi in May, I had a final skinny dip in the sea every night, just before going to bed. So, what was I risking? A jelly sting, a lion fish.....just wondering if this was beginner's luck. Anyone had a bad experience?
Good stuff! I think Bad? (sitting in the front seat of the convertible?) has my Red Stripe cap! They made more than one of those! Damn!
What's so funny 'bout Peace, Love and Understanding?
I am a night time swimmer too--but I don't think I'd do it off the cliffs, the beach is more my speed for nocturnal swims. I love floating on my back star gazing. The locals freak though and try to get me out of the water--saying sea things look for food at night. I think it may be more of a Jamaica thing than a real threat, I have swum at night all over the globe with no incidence and in Negril dozens of times. I have never heard of any disaster stories, but like Tizzy says, maybe in this case ignorance is bliss.
Oh and thanks for the great report! I am enjoying the latest spate of Negril adventures that have appeared on this board.
Thanks for the kind words. I am glad to know you all tried the night swimming too. The locals I know will only go in the water at night if they are night fishing with spear guns. lol ~ Don't think I am gonna try that anytime soon.
Tizzy ~ I would love to move to la-la land too. Alas, I can only find it in Negril.
Guirigay ~ Bad loves her cap too.
Irie ~ If ignorance is bliss, give me ignorance.
Bj ~ Glad you never had a bad experience at night.
Booger ~ I love la la land too!
Jamb~ Sorry about the backseat driving, but it had to be included. And you guys know all too well how good the OP shots work!
The next day was Saturday night at Seastar, but first we had the day to contend with. Back down to the beach & relaxed with some Stripes. Decided to head out to do some snorkeling & reminded myself why I must get an underwater camera. So beautiful!!!! Headed out to the island, which is my favorite day trip. We were sitting around, people were drinking, eating, & relaxing in la-la land when I see a police boat pull up. I guess "technically" they don't really like people hanging out on the island and so I of course was a bit worried. Forgetting for a moment I was in Jamaica where there are no worries, bc the police boat pulled in, everyone kept drinking and they got out of the boat with a bunch of fish and had the guys cook them for them. No Worries! They came over, asked if I was enjoying my vacation & were soon on their way. We ate, I was a little sad because there was no breadfruit which I loved, but I can't be too sad when I tasted my dinner fresh from the sea. YUM!!!!
Headed back home to shower, and get ready for the show. First I have to point out that this was during March Madness and KU was playing. Being from Missouri, you are either an MU or a KU fan. My fellow travelers Bad & Jamb are MU Fans, I am the opposite. MU was out of the tournament in what was it again...the First round???? That's besides the point, but KU was also playing that night in the Final 4 so that was exciting also. The game was on the tv by the bar, Rob (not a KU fan) was also watching the game, the buffet was out, the Red Stripes were cold, and the drummers were getting ready. It was gonna be a great night...
