    Re: Gerry G's TRAIL OF ASHES TOUR Final Chapter -- The Mighty Californian's return

    It's early Saturday morning in Negril, and the wind has picked up a bit -- that's bad news because it's too choppy to snorkel/spearfish, so I have to figure out another way to occupy myself.

    Since I was awake and ready to do something, I decided to start up the motor bike and cruise down the hill, past Rockhouse and the little shops across the way, past Canoe (I waved to Kirby, who was making coffee), past the strip of hotels on seven mile, past Long Bay, all the way to the RIUs -- that's where I first started in Negril about 12 years ago. I like to tell folks I graduated from the RIU!

    I returned to Seastar Inn and hung with Brasi and few others for a bit, then made my way to Westender to visit with Negril Bill, who works there. There were four expat ladies from the USA hangin' out at Westender Inn, and it was fascinating getting to know them. All of them had fallen in love with young Rasta men, and wow did they have some stories, mostly good but a few bad ones, too. One of them was single, a nice lady from New Hampshire named Margi (wants to be in report), and we made loose plans to maybe hook up later. She is blonde with dreadlocks, and her beautiful hair intrigued me.

    Back at Seastar Inn again, Juli was hangin' out. She's a beautiful boardie with a great spirit, and she, Brasi, CaptainD and myself have been spending a lot of time together. In the afternoon, I made my way towards Rick's Cafe, not to check out the divers and tourists but to buy a nice plate of roadside Jerk from Season to the Bone, a young local who cooks a mean chicken.

    I took a little rest, preparing for the big Saturday night party at Seastar Inn. I have a feeling it's going to be a great night.

    Thanks for the report. Didn't know they had cabins in the cliff side at Westender. Kool! If you see Bill again tell him Husker is ready for JIGGY BEERS!

    The Seastar Inn party on Saturday was off the charts. It was great to see Steven West and the rest of the band do their thing, though this was the first time I saw the drummers without the great Francine. Also, there is a new young lady who sings a short set of originals plus some covers, highlighted by Whitney's "Somebody to Love," and not only can this newbie sing but she's ultra hot, too!

    I spent most of the night sitting on the patio near the pool with Brasi, his two sons (very well-behaved), Juli and boardie Brenjalee, who is staying at Fun Holiday on the beach. Brenjalee is from Los Angeles, and amazingly we're both good friends with the same person back home -- crazy considering we're sitting in Negril together, 4,000 miles from home.

    Remember the one at Corner Bar a few nights back who looked like Jesus? He's here, too, along with a few other familiar faces. Towards the end of the night, I hung with Vinny B, and we had a good time comparing war stories and talking late into the evening about everything Negril. He's a great guy, but unfortunately he leaves tomorrow.

    I had my own supply of rum punch in my room, and between the main bar and and the mini-bar in No. 19, I consumed many drinks this night. For some reason, I can drink a LOT in Negril while still remaining relatively lucid. By the end, I am not sure I could have walked a straight line, but sometimes a crooked line is even more difficult, and that I could do lol ....

    That was great. Now I can put a face and a voice with a few names.
    Thanks.
